Such a lovely car
Hello everyone, I recently joined to the forum from istanbul after getting my baby ''35i'' last week. After driving a mustang for 5 years, new z4 feels like heaven. Even though everything is very smooth and comfortable, it drives like strong sport car. Everyday Ive been driving it at least for 2 hours for fun anyways, hopefully I can get some info from this forum about future plans, I know it is fast but Ive seen couple topics about tuners and I think im very interested .. anyways I just wanted to share the joy, I ll put couple pics too when I get a chance.
Cheers, |

I'm really looking for more than just power; if I get a Mustang, it better be something I'm comfortable sitting in for a few hours

You need to take a test drive. The comfort of a car is much too personal and subjective. Personally, I really like the look of the new Mustang but it is not up to the quality of a BMW. Interior is OK, but not that nice compared to the Z4, IMHO.

All the top American cars that had v6 engines definitely were not making that much horsepower at all, Mustang v6, 4.0l with a single oh cam making 210 hp Charger and Chrysler 300 with a 3.8l v6 engine, producing 215 hp and Ive seen people putting their cars on dyno. They were only making abt 170-180 rwhp |

Yes, the '11 Mustang 5.0 has specs like the 2000 M5, 5.0l, alum block and heads, DOHC, variable valve timing, 400 HP, etc. It only took Ford 11 years to catch up (The M5 premiered summer of '99). I think it has a slightly higher torque peak but I doubt its a broad as the S62 was.
