One thing I learned is that the faster the car, the farther you are going to fly off the track if anything were to happen. The Z car is a cakewalk compare to that. I spun 3-4 times in the Corvette and had 2 off track over 2 years. I have one spin and no off track in 3 years on the 370. It's really that much easier to drive.

agree. 350 would kick the back end as you roll back into the gas pedal. 370 would just spin the one tire and go straight. It is easy to drive, probably too boring

-Go slow
-Apply throttle to balance the car through the corner optimally

These result in:

-Going slow
-risking accelerating beyond the lateral adhesion limit of the tires before the end of the corner, and then being at the point where if you lift, you lose it when the weight shifts back forward.

Maybe I've got it wrong, though.

Back on topic of 2013 Mustangs, you can get a Base GT with Track Pkg (brembo brakes, torsen lsd) and Cloth Recaro seats at Koons in Sterling VA for 30,400. That's a whole lot of performance for the dollar.

I don't have the OEM tires, my tires actually grip and doesn't break loose at every throttle input.

We are just telling you while it might be part of the equation, it is not the only factor. The Z06 comes with way superior tires, there is no comparison to the RE050a. My Prius with the slicks felt stickier than my RE050a on the Z. Stock to stock I can toss the backend just as easy as the 370z too

I personally wasn't impressed with the Goodyear's on my Z06. I don't know how they stack up to my stock 370Z tires at the ragged edge, though.
