I'm not saying it's better, but it's very close. Obviously the cars feel very different but both seem to get around corners just as quickly as the other. From my experience the Mustang has a better balance. It rotates freely but requires a different driving style. The Z has more of an "on rails" feel until you start to lose the front end. It has quite a bit more understeer than the Mustang feels neutral with a hint of oversteer.

Suspect the Boss could whip the 370 Z on a track.

WOuld love to see top gear do Boss Laguna Seca edition review with maybe a 370Z Nismo and a Camaro SS.
It wouldn't even be a contest. The Boss would be significantly quicker than both cars. I think the SS and Nismo could be a close one but the Boss would leave them in the dust. A standard Brembo package 5.0 would be a better comparison.
