The issue with the Z in a drag race is getting it off the line. We know how hard the Mustangs can launch, but no one really knows how hard the Z can on slicks. No one knows how much the diff and half-shafts can take without shattering. I figure jnaut will find out soon enough!

Either way, I think this is purely entertainment... nothing else. It doesn't prove anything. We'd be better off calling the folks at (the real) TopGear and having them do some silly challenges with the Z and 5.0.

Well, the Z makes a better boat but the Mustang is better for camping.
