It's a lot more neutral and is always wanting to rotate... which is good if you can handle it. You just have to get used to that four-wheel drift feeling at all times when you are really pushing it. It's a dynamite car, but it really makes you work.

If I had the cash there would be a 370Z Roadster sitting next to my 5.0 right now. That is how much I love both of these cars.

F*** the haters! On both sides! These are two freaking sweet cars.
totally agree!

the Z feels like its on rails when you corner and its really easy to drive! The Mustang handles really well but you have to be more skilled, i'll tell you i was not ready for the body flexing at first! I though i was drifting losing control at first...i got freaked out. But i have been taking the same turns at the same speed with no problems in the 5.0 now. the way it feels with the mustang is, turn, body flex, then grip, accel out...i was used to the first 3 bieng all in one in the Z then just accel out. I still the Z a slight, SLIGHT advantage in handling because of this...around a really tight autoX is where the Z would take it. But add some springs/drop, better tires, and its anyones game
