My buddy just picked up the new Mustang GT and we had a chance to compare the cras today.

Besides the fact that the Mustang is a bit less expensive than the Z ($40k to $36k), I think these cars compare favorably in terms of cross shopping.

I gotta say that I loved the exhaust note of the V8 in the Mustang. Neet engineering trick how they pump the exhaust note into the cabin. Very deep and tough.

But the Z can outhandle the Mustang blindfolded. The interior is more upscale, the looks a little more high-end.

Both cars feel quick, but the Z is absolutely faster off the line and top end. Both cars had the AT, so the comparo was fair.

All in all, while the Mustang is not quite the sports car the Z is, it is a tremendous value in its own right.
