I just traded in my 350z for a 5.0 Mustang and I've still got a new set of rear HPS Hawk pads that I never installed (regular calipers, not for the Brembos). Retail was $68 but I'll let you take them away for $40.

Local sale only. PM me. I'm in the Lynnwood area.

Here's the car change:



I've had two 350z's but the new 5.0 is just stunning. Impulse buy this week, but man, what a rocket ship.

 

man I bet that 400hp+ 400tq+ is fun. congrats man. NEVER been a fan of mustangs until this year, when even their v6 is a good deal.. : )

 

I've always been a big Mustang fan (what with being from Detroit and all), with the exception of the two abortions of the Mustang lineage; the Mustang II and the fox. Though I've never really been overly happy with the slight styling alterations of the old Mach-1s either.

But, I agree with Entaille. Ford has really started to step their new Mustangs up, they're really solid cars (especially in the rear axle (see what I did there?)) even at the entry level, and when you start bumping up and playing with the SVT and Shelby monikers, things really start to go bananas. And then you can get in to domestic tuners and let Saleen, Roush, Steeda, etc, start to go to work.

 

I have always been a Die-Hard Ford fan. And I love the Mustangs ( except for that crap from the '80's ). The best FMC car I've ever owned was my '64 Comet Caliente...GM Destroyer!!

But looking at the above pics...I'll take the Z over the 'Stang.

Have fun with your new car.
