They really are a lot of bang for the buck, I beat the crap out of those cars and was really surprised at how well they held up to the abuse. Anyone that would disregard the 2011 Mustang with 400+HP as not being a real competitor, obviously lacks experience. We all know you can make any car go fast and handle good, it just takes money.
Not planning on trading in the Z anytime for a 2011 mustang though.

so? put money into the z and it would still be faster than the mustang.mustangs do not handle well. they're not made to handle well. and why are they bang for the buck? you used to get a pos car wrapped around two pos underpowerd engines. now for 2011 you get a pos car wrapped around somewhat decent engines. basically, you're paying tens of thousands of dollars for an engine
