Its not really that it has less cylinders or anything like that its just that i prefer american iron.Its what i was raised on its what i know and its what i like.

Again though i like crotch rockets and love my gixxer i just dont like foreign cars.Sounds odd because it probably is.

ah, its a born n raised issue..that i can understand. I cant stand ppl who run their mouth about forign stuff becaue its just an inline 6 or inline 4. Most imports are well designed pieces of engineering.

I think my next car is gonna be an s2000...love them things

if it were a cylinder thing the mustang wouldnt be my car most of mine start life as 4 bangers lol.

Worst thing they ever did was make the stang a 4 banger(when speaking of performance) but also a smart move considering the 80's issues anything it takes to keep the blood line alive i guess.

Man, You must have some really bad luck with rotors!!

Since you got the pads changed already, I would just it take to a shop and let the get the rotors off and turn them if they are turnable.

If you cant manage a brake job, then please, buy a japanese car...

The rims, well thats just luck of the draw, I would have ditched them the day I drove the car off the lot.

Everyone has their own tastes, you cant ask people on a Mustang forum about some 370Z and ask which is better.. Thats like asking the KKK who they voted for. You already know the answer. Its your decision, not ours

I would go for a 370Z over the S2000. The S2000 has some great handling but they aren't that quick. They are compareable to a stock GT in speed. The Nissan out handles and is faster.

13.4 @ 104 in the 1/4 for stock is pretty cool, i love the way those engines sound and that thing twin turbo would be b.a.

Did you take the little silver clips out that hold it on from factory?

and im with you hoss (but i hate the s2000) i dont think a lot of people here hate 4/6 cylinders they just hate the people driving them. I met a lot of cool tuner guys that actually know what they are doing and they are just like us, but when you hang around pep boys and meet that crowd it just gets a little ridicules fast.

I've always liked the Z cars. You also have to respect the fact that Nissan can get 332 HP out of a 3.7 liter sixxer. Makes you wonder why Ford can only muster 315 HP out of a V-8 that is almost a liter larger in displacement.
