I think on the skidpad, the better rubber you have on the car, the better the results? I don't know what kind of rubber comes stock on a new GT but it must be pretty sticky!
Well, someone did a comparo on the Mustang and the 370 and the Mustang won, simply BECAUSE it had a little more utility (room for 4, better trunk). Other than that, the 370 won all the performance nods, easily.

As for rubber, it seems almost all new performance cars are coming with the same Bridgestones we have. I know in the comparison between the 370, RX8, 135i, and Solstice...all but one (I think the 135?) were using the exact same tires. THAT surprised me, considering how I figured the solstice would do MUCH better than it did!
