I'd be seriously tempted by a Z if i didnt need 4 doors. They look awesome with a few mods here and there.

All I can say is dealers in QLD must be alot hungrier, I have been looking for a new dual cab ute for our business and have been thrown keys for a drive every dealer I went to except for one Ford dealer, who just ignored me even though they all seen me drive in my FG GT sedan.... Not even knowing I wanted a Ranger, I could have wanted another GT for all they knew, which they had about 5 sitting out the front rusting away.

I also had a friend go in there to buy 2 cars, he has been buying cars off them for 15 years, had a G6ET he bought there in 2008 which he wanted to upgrade (lease) and buy his wife a new car... They even treated him so badly that he has left the Ford brand altogether after many many Fords...

I told him to visit my normal dealer but hes over Ford.

Ha ha. When I was shopping for the GT you were quite helpful on here.

I thought you worked there otherwise I would have dropped my bundle big time over how shyte they were.

There was one individual I would not brake for if I saw him crossing the street

Maybe the Mustang needs to "muscle" into the 370Z's market....

Yeh maybe but this is a FPV thread so wandering back on to topic would probably be a good thing.

I would buy a Mustang, that would be a big enough change. And I always prefer two doors :-)

Correct, looks like enough said on the FPV topic.
The thread has turned into a sports car comparison.
