GT comes with a garuntee that it'll crap the bed quicker then a BMW..

I really like the GT500 but it's heavy and I'd probably wanna mod the crap outta it. If I wanted a car to keep stock/near stock, then the z4 coupe for sure. In fact, if I wanted a new mustang, I'd probably start out with a very low model and just mod to my liking. So definitely the z4 m coupe.

ok thats a little TMI!

Ive always loved the Z coupes, but lately Ive been longing for something with positive manifold pressure and a V8. Tough call, I dont know!

Agreed Shelby all the way.

Everytime I see a Z4, I puke a little bit in my mouth.

I'll keep my manhood, and NOT drive around in a chic car. So obviously, SHELBY FTW!!!

P.S. What is it with Contour owners having the taste of a gay man when it comes to cars? I know that's stereotypical, but everytime someone mentions a Miata, Z4 or similar, an all male orgy breaks out on CEG.

Umm ok. If you think M cars are girl cars then go you.

I would have to go with the Stang simply because it will look nicer than the BMW in 10+years. Dont get me wrong the BMW is a sick car but they get so dated when the new model year comes out. I agree... buy the shelby and sell it to get a terminator. Oh and it would have to be a vert....who cares if girls drive verts...I know they love to ride in them!

im a sucker for the cobra...always have been

Are you kidding? BMWs get out dated faster than Mustangs?

I have never heard that opinion before. You can't compare the 2 really.

I look at it this way in a year or two there will be GT500's everywhere, and I think the z4 M coupe will be a rarity. But this is just my thinking I could be wrong.

This GT500 gets my vote

If the pic doesn't work do a right clik and show picture

I didn't say M cars as a whole. I'd rock an M3 or M5 in a heartbeat. They don't scream hairdresser-mobile like the Z4 M, Miata, Crossfire, etc....

And I somewhat agree that BMW's get outdated, but not always in the aesthetics department. It's a lot easier to hold a conversation about having a 93 Mustang, than having a 93 BMW. Nobody cares about that 93 BMW, because most likely it's a 200k mile car with problems. That 93 Mustang is more than likely a beast of a project car.

But hey, drive what you want.

Mark

buy the GT500... or rent the Z4M

BMWs become outdated faster than Mustangs? Hmmmm...
1978 Mustang II

1978 BMW M1

Not a very fair comparison, but fun nonetheless.

LOL, you had to pick the Mustang II for your comparison, didn't you!?!?!

Mark

gt500 all the way...much better then the bimmer ..although ford could could have done much beter with the shelby and had made it more of like the terminator

Not a big fan of the Z4 vert but I think with the hard top it really changes the car. Kind of reminds me of a more nimble version of this old thing.

For some reason, that car actually looks pretty sweet! I guess I just like my head/leg room though, and most of these smaller cars won't give me that. Riding in a the Hahn's old Miata, I just felt trapped in the car, and my shoulder was basically touching his shoulder.

Well if it's anything like VWV.com, it's always Miata or E30 M3 FTMFW!!1

Personally though, I don't care if either of those two cars can outhandle F1 cars, I wouldn't even have my casket caught anywhere near one.

As far as this vote, GT500 FTW.

I'd even take a Porsche Cayman [base] over the BMW. Something about shoes on wheels...

HAHA the "M" will never loose its value. Hell a 97 E36 M3 with a 150,000km+ still sells for $20k+ Canadian

.

I would take the MZ4 over the Shelby in a heartbeat.

GT500..i'll pick a muscle car over a Bimmer anyday!

No, but I wouldn't turn down a Mazdaspeed.

And 03 Cobras are going for 42-47K here too, Thats basically MSRP when they were bought..

ah, i thought you did when you were talking about them way back when. so you WOULD drive a vert then! and a miata to boot! i like miatas but im not sure i can think of less masculine rwd vert than them.

Dude I was joking. I would drive a vert even though I can't really see myself in one. I would drive a fully modified Miata.

Why don't you get another Aquatred haircut!

Ehh I love the Cobra's but the body style before the present day one. Like the 04 Cobra and the Z06 are the only american cars Id buy

mmm Z06

03 cobras are amazing...i think its one of the best looking mustangs ever, yet alone one of the best fords

...just my oppinion

GT500.

def GT500

i love ford and i love the mustang
its just that the new mustang came short in my expectations

and if it was against any other muscle car i'd take the mustang

but that being said i love the new bmw's

driving a 500hp beast could probly get a little pricy at the pump i would imagin that the bmw get better mpg but i don't know for shure

I think if your buying the M or the GT500 mileage isnt your biggest concern.. its speeding tickets.

Z4-M all the way. And what's up with calling it a chick car? Is a 350Z a chick car? What about a Cayman S or another other fast little coupe? It's gotta be a big ole boat to be manly?

350Z little???

and yea, the Cayman is pretty much a woman car. The 911 is the man's car.

Z4-M all the way for sure even thought the shelby is a hell of a car.Get whatever u want oh and this post wont go no where juss going to be arguements.

i take it you havent seen the RUF edition Cayman....now THAT'S a Cayman!! i think the plain 911s are kinda gay, the turbos and GT2/3 are where its at.

A reach around?

it really isnt a contest. Z4.

GT: 37
Z:32

Pretty close. I thought the GT would have more of a lead. Good to see ppl have taste here yet.

Gotta be careful....this is still a Contour website.

My next car will be a Z4 3.0 Si coupe (in about 2 years!)

I finally see a new car that I like the look of, and has all the right bits out of the factory.

All the Euro mags here claim the 3.0 si is the one to go for, as the Z4M isn't worth the extra 11k pounds sterling over the 3.0L

Mustangs are my favorite cars, but the new GT500 doesnt look right to me. I actually prefer the old Cobra.

If it wasn't for 500 hp would you still buy it? Seems like the Z4 is a better package. If you want to see a difference go to a BMW dealership, and go to a Ford dealership. Everything about BMW is more professional. Z4 a lady's car?? I guess that is your opinion, but I remember somewhere reading that CSVTs have a higher male ownership than cobras, and cobras were pretty low male ownership to begin with. Would you be happier carving out some twisties enjoying the landscape, or nailing the gas and being driven into the seat on onramps? I guess it is just a matter of taste. (I do think I might be lookin at the 500 myself (if Ford will put some good incentives on it

)

Hell, I had the choice, and I picked the Z4. (albeit a lowly 3.0l) check out z4um.com for more info
