I know there are a couple of you out there who have made this move. I'm looking at a blown (to 425bhp via Roush) Mustang, and wondered how you rate it compared to the Z06.
I love my Vette, and would dearly like to keep it, but the lack of rear seats has pushed me into looking at something that has the same performance but with a little extra room. I can't think of anything else out there that compares to either of these two cars (for any money; you can keep your Aston Martins, BMWs, TVRs).

So, what do you think? A good move, or will I be left wanting?

And if anyone fancies making me an offer, the Z'll probably be in the classifieds in a day or two if you don't talk me out of it.

yikesJeez LuSIfer, that reply must have taken an age to type up. I'm almost tempted to send you a cheque for your time.

Looks like the change may well be on then. OK if I PM you? I've got a couple of questions you may be able to help me with, if you don't mind.

Well I did it. Picked up my Roush-charged Mustang from Atlantic this morning. Had a 130-mile drive on M25/M3/M27 in the pi$$ing rain, so a bit early to say what it's like.
Thanks to LuS1fer for his advice and guidance, and to James at Atlantic for a smooth transaction.
I'm sure there'll be more questions in the coming weeks, but for starters, I've got to lower the rear end by a couple of inches to drop it over the 20" rims. Any preferences amongst those of you who've already done this?

Sounds like you are down in my neck of the woods. Is there any Mustang meets in the area?


What? Tokyo? Or haven't you updated your profile?
