I've commented on this before. I think if you put an inexperienced driver on a road course with the Z and with the 5.0, he might be quicker with the Z.

The Z has a significant amount of understeer built in, thanks in large part to the staggered tire setup, so it is a lot easier for a novice to drive near the limit compared to the more neutral-to-oversteery 5.0.

When you approach the limit of grip with the Z, the front end will start to slip first. This is much, much easier to manage for a novice than the Mustang, which will bring the tail around first.

But in the hands of drivers who know what they are doing, the 5.0 will hands down drive away from a 370 on anything short of the tightest auto-cross course, where the shorter wheelbase of the 370 navigating the tight course could overcome any advantage the 5.0 has. But that's AutoX.


Agreed
