^ She wants him to trade his car for a Mustang... She would get flamed no matter how nice or saggy her boobies were...

In for pics anyway though. Even if they are saggy, I still wanna see 'em..

Sounds like you should upgrade to a nicer Fbody. Mustangs go fast for cheap. I had a 2003 Cobra, MUCH faster and better looking than my z28 but something was just seriously off about that car.

I wouldn't get a 98 though, if you do decide to go the Mustang route. Try to get newer if anything. Drive one, if you like it, then go for it. If you don't like it then make another switch. No reason you should have to keep one car for years and years if you are thinking about going to something else. Gotta have fun with this stuff

Man im so glad to see this... read through 3 pages thinking of the essay I was going to write for you as to why you should keep your car, but looks like i won't have to. Just save your money, get a stall, and trust me, you will love your auto again. When my buddy got his camaro stalled I couldnt believe how much more fun the auto was to drive. Though I still like my M6 better, lol... but it will be a nice upgrade nonetheless. Nevermind he picked up a good 1/2 a sec in the 1/4 mile from it!

And really nothing even against the mustang... but man seriously you picked one of the worst years possible. I hate that body style and the motor in it... at least look at a 99+ if you want a stang man.

Personally I wouldn't trade your car for his. I actually like Mustangs, however the appeal of a 98 GT is minimal to me when compared to a 2000 Z28.

If the GT is a cream puff and in great shape (both appearance and mechanically) and you are very concerned about potential money pits with your Z28 (rear end, motor, etc) then I would view things a little differently.

Since when have terminator cobras been cheap? A decent one in my area will run atleast 5K more than an ls1 fbody of similiar condition.

I do like those though, thats about the only mustang I would own. *Other than the new 5.0

If the car is for daily driving use, DO NOT CARE ABOUT SPEED, worried about the Z28 being a money pit and the Mustang is in excellent condition visually and mechanically, I would definately make the trade. That's because visually I like the SN-95 GT more then the 3rd gen Z28, inside and out. Now if going real fast was a main concern then not a fricking chance because them 2 valve 4.6's suck to make fast compaired to the LS1. They suck period to make fast IMO especially w/out a SC or turbo.

Looked like the OP made his decision after driving the stang, but still worth mentioning... I raced a same-era Mustang GT just a few days ago, after watching him get beside every car behind me and punch it. They were all ignoring him. He won by a fender, if that.

I was in my Kia Optima rental car.

He rolled up to the stop light and asked what I had done to it! He said my car was sick!

Just so the capabilities of these cars, is clear...

The capabilities of Mustangs are just like any other. For example: I have a buddy in my town who has a non-stroked SC forged 4.6 2V Mustang GT with an approximately a measly 750whp. Just like any 400-500hp Fbody likes to beat on Mustangs, he likes to make most Fbodys look stupid slow. The capability of any car goes as deep as the pocket book.

I meant the capabilities of the car if you sit in it and press the accelerator to the floor.

Spend thousands of dollars/hours building it and you can probably make a Segway fast...

Agreed. I always compare stock or stock-ish cars because once you start 'modding the car is in a different category from where it started...
