Hook a z up to bump steer gauge, jack the tire, and watch the toe. You've proven time and time again you willfully ignore proof, so observe it for yourself.
Not sure what your point is. I never felt the car unstable either in a straight line or a turn. I care more about what I feel as a driver than what some gauge on a lift in a garage says. I'd say that gauge is probably even less relevant to car handling than a skidpad is.

Sure. Any head to head test shows the mustang winning. Perhaps you might choose c&d's "best handling car under $40k," showing the mustang doing 70-0 in 154' vs the z's 158.
will check it when i go home. i think i have that magazine.

I will never understand this forum's fixation on defending the z as a "sports car."
You don't get what makes a "sports car" the way it is?
