I worked for Ford when they came out and we never had any in for anything but oil-changes).

The 370Z has a nicer interior for sure, but then so does the 2011 mustang. I think that mechanically, the mustang is AT LEAST as sound as the 370Z. As far as "feel" goes, I think the Z has a better lay-out, but that isn't about quality, it's ergonomics.
Test drove the mustang, challenger, and camaro several times before buying my 370Z. In my opinion the Z is more responsive in handling. Better center of gravity. Fit and finish is better, overall lay out is better.
