Z's steering is just on another level compared to the Boss; far more directly, precise and sensitive.

unless you think 5.0 GT out handles the Boss 302 i find that review slightly biased.
Running the hardest setting on the dampers anywhere in nj is your problem.

Body roll is less, see any objective numbers. It might feel different due to the higher roll rate, but objectively it corners as flat.

Brake dive is worse, not part of handling.


Steering was covered, if you read the post.

Right. Instead, let's listen to the guy who is on his first rwd car, never taken a rwd car to a track or autox, and doesn't understand VD. you are welcome to disagree, but you've been warned before not to come cause trouble here.
