The only number the 5.0 hasn't bested the Z in is in lateral grip at .94G which is still outstanding! Take a look at this article and please share your opinions on the new Stang compared to the 370z.
P.S. I still think the Z looks better and has a better interior layout, but that's about all I can think of in the Z's favor. One article said the 5.0's interior was approaching Audi territory...

If you can wait, hold off and test drive one.
While the feel is quite different (the Z feels and is a little more nimble), the Mustang still has loads of grip and can attack on a road course. Of course it's going to absolutely own down the strip, and if the 5.0 responds to bolt ons like the 3v 4.6 did, it's going to be a monster with an intake, exhaust, and a tune.
