I don't know about 0-60 but i have easily out handled a vette and smoked an M3 with mine. Just have to learn how to drive it fast it's like a Honda if you are below 4k. Wind it up and it goes like stink and those new Yokohama neovas glue it to the pavement. I have yet to find the limit on those tires. I have not been this impressed with a car this much in a while. The brakes are the bomb on the sport as well.

Ahh Nismo is around 4.4 and Mustang Boss is around 4. So .4 second difference in 0-60, I was wrong. At least I added a question mark because I didn't know :P But I don't think .4 seconds is enough to make fun of me ><

The Mustang doesn't out handle but it matches the Z through the corners in terms of time. Feel is obviously different.

If it didn't handle at least as good as the Z I never would have bought mine.
