Re: 350z Sucks!

[quote=Hypsi87]wow......interesting....... The mustang is weak right off the showroom floor. Except the '03 cobras. I'm not going to talk about roush or steeda or saleen for two reasons. Your not going to get the power speed or respect out of your Z for the same ammount of money. Number two, ford does not make the horsepower in the roushes or the saleen etc... '03 cobras are the shit. Man some of you Nissan guys need to back off a bit. You some of you guys are acting like you have a bad case of small mans syndrome. So what If someone says a car is faster than yours blah blah blah.....QUOTE]

Ok to start this off, I just have one question. Have you read this thread from beginning to end? This thread started and heated up over the fact that we were comparing the modified mustangs and a stock Z. We finally got past that part and SVTcobra finally conceded that we couldn't compare a modified vs. a stock car.
As far as speed and respect for the Z goes, if you're comparing it to a car that you love and think 'rules' or whatever, respect is automatically implied.
Some of us 'Nissan guys' were only annoyed because of the ufair comparisons made. I think it's great that the mustang is available in so many forms. Choice is great. When you start to compare cars that have a vast range in price that obviously is the reason there is a difference in performance, that's where the problem begins. Like I said before if you're going to compare the two cars you have to do it in the same price range or allow the less expensive vehicle the same amount of dollars in performance upgrades. I certainly expect a mustang with over $10,20 or 30K of performance mods to outdo a stock Z. That'd be like me saying that a race car should be compared to a stock car, it obviously isn't a fair comparison.

Re: 350z Sucks!

If i had the money at the time the cars that i would look at to buy would be the 03 Cobra for sure, the track Z, Subaru STI, or the Lancer EVO...In a couple years when I'm looking to buy a new car I'll be looking at these cars although if the rumors about the 2006 Cobra are true then I might wait for that car. Heard something about 500 hp.

There are tons of rumors about the new mustang...I'll believe what I see, when I see it.

The WRXs...I wouldn't get one. The trannys aren't made for that kind of power. Couple friend's of mine had those cars...went through 3 trannys in 6 months. Not bad drivers or anything...the trannys are made for their sedan.

Evos are waaaaaaaaaay over priced. That and they're ugly as all sin...

I wouldn't be able to live with my self if I bought a $30,000+ mustang.

Don't get the track Z. Too expensive. Get the Performance or the Base. Base is lightest and I think the Performance is the best for the buck.

Base is lightest (none of them vary all that much, but still) and I think the Performance is the best for the buck...you get the bad ass rims, the VDC, Traction control, tire pressure models, and good headlights without all the extra cost or stuff you don't need/want.

You finally deleted that dumb ass statement you made, SVT...about damn time.

Yea. I just like posting. Makes my "# of posts" number bigger. <shrug> Why not?

I don't hate all cars...I hate shitty cars. It's the guidelines for the definition of "shitty" that varies...

Nice quote in your sig there LongLive. Why don't you tell that guy to read the Mustang vs. Nissan thread in car comparisons and see how everyone owned you.

Mod for Mod, you still didn't win. It may be a nice car, but Mustang is still the top dog and always will be.
