I was on the cusp of getting a GT500, those are sexy *** cars...

And as far as trucks go (and I'm not really a SUV/Truck person)

TELL ME this isn't a bad *** truck:

Sorry there dave, but ever since I could drive, I came to realize just how much mustang drivers are the biggest D-bags around, which in the end pretty much killed the car for me.

You let the drivers make a decision for you?

I never really liked them regardless(never been a ford guy), the drivers are what put the hate over the edge.

I've been wondering the same thing.
1. While the modular ford engines that they put into the Stangs currently are not the fastest thing out of the box, with breathing mods they will tear up any Z dollar for dollar, this will be worse with the Coyote V8 they will be putting in 2011 stangs.

2. Nismo 3x0zs are nothing more then a regular Z with slightly stiffer suspension, a body kit, and better welds. For the 40k you'll be paying on the Z, you can pick up a base C6 Vette or a GT500, which will both eat the Z alive (not to mention will humiliate the Z even more with a bit of mods)

3. There are douchebag drivers for every car. I can't count the number of popped collar douches I see in 350zs these days. I just passed by one with wonderful fendervents on it on my way to work today.

4. There are more mustangs then the Z, thus there are more drivers, thus you will have a better chance of meeting a douchebag driver.

I never made an argument which car was faster than one another. I realize cumstains can be faster than Z's IN A STRAIGHT LINE, I could care less.

2. Nismo 350zs are nothing more then a regular Z with slightly stiffer suspension, a body kit, and better welds.

Do some more research

I believe it, but the ownership age on Z's have gone down all the way to 16, which doesn't help the situation.

4. There are more mustangs then the Z, thus there are more drivers, thus you will have a better chance of meeting a douchebag driver.
yea, about a 99% chance.
I dont like mustangs, get over it. I have a friend who HATES corvettes with a passion, but do I give him a whole lecture on why corvettes are good cars? nope, If a person doesn't like a car, let them have their opinions about it, and just let it go.

Nope, I'm right about the nismo. I guess I forgot to say it has additional chassis bracing, whoop de do.

Also a straight line? What? Do a bit of suspension work on a Mustang, and see what happens there. Hell, just lowering it a bit and it'll hold up to a Z, do coils on both and they'll still be matched.

The RAPTOR is a bada$$ truck, ford did an awesome job with the suspension and engine, but I wonder how many owners actually have access to any trails where they can put it to use.

Yeah I like how the changed the body to make it a little more concept with the curves...The plastic though around the lower body just bothers me for some reason. I like the mustang personally. The attitudes of the drivers make me hate them as well!

You know, people buy the car that they own for good reasons. there will always be other cars that are faster and cheaper than the z. But people like the z for some reason. There will always be douches in every car forums.
