Was this a direct comparison between the two you're talking about? I haven't seen one yet, but if you can give a link to one that would be great. I think that huge power difference alone would be enough for the 5.0 to beat the Z around a track though. In tighter autoX courses it might be a different story. The 5.0 GT is currently at/near M3 (best bang for buck supercar under $100k
) performance level and I don't think the Z is quite there.
