The same exist with the Stang. It is not a GTR that defies the laws of physics. It is the 70's all over again. The Stang is the Muscle, the Z is the Sport. The Stang has the power, the Z has the handling (as m4a1mustang said above). The Stang is like Superman and will take you out with just a powerful thump, whereas the Z is like Batman, more ninja like with a degree of power.

Take your pick and no bashing other! We are all Superfriends!! The bad guys are the Camaros and Challengers. And the Vettes are like Darkseid to us both; they can kick both of us around.

Nissan should have gone with Brembos for the new Z. m4a1mustang, you still should have got the Boss!
The Stang could certainly out handle the Z in the hands of a capable driver. Just watch this video to see how well the Stang can take the corners.
YouTube - The Falken Azenis RT-615K, How Much Faster Is It?

Also remember Car and Driver tested a bunch of cars at VIR and there was a 1 second difference between the 2010 Mustang GT and 2009 Nismo 370Z. Just imagine what the 2011 Mustang GT would do time wise on this same track. Just goes to show the GT is no slouch in the handling dept anymore.
