The V8 is running mid 12's at well over 110. If you slap something on it wider than the OEM 255 series rear tires, performance-wise I think it is VERY tough to beat for the price in a new vehicle. Quality-wise, it is a big step up for ford, but I still think the 370 is better built regarding the interior.

Agreed. If you take the time to really read up on the coyote engine, you will find that it and the VQ37VHR use virtually the exact same engine tech to achieve their respective numbers. Aluminum blocks, variable timing on intake and exhaust, similar bottom end design, etc. Th interior of the 'stang is a whole class below the Z but the handling is right there considering it's a 4 seater in the same price range. These 2 are the best sports cars in this price range by a longshot.
