I will defer to your experience with both cars. You are right. I was referring to articles in magazines not actual experience. In most of those, the Z comes out best in the handling department but even then, it is a close call. I have driven the Z and current mustang but would like to play with the new 5.0 when they come out. I too, know folks who track their mustangs and they say that a whole bunch can be done even with the live rear end. Most say the same thing which is a mustang can be made to handle very well. All in all, I think the competiton is good both for the Z and the mustang. Being old, I remember my '66 mustang fondly but a 2011 with the 5.0 at safe low boost to about 500 hp for around 40 grand is not a bad thought.....
