Of course. And drag racing is pretty much exactly what mustangs are built for while Zs are set up for tracks with turns.

no street car is built for racing, its a street car, not a purpose built track car

also you should look into the boss 302 laguna seca, or the new Z28 camaro, both of which will destroy a 370z around a road course and both are muscle cars that apparently are only built for "drag racing"

Yes, the 5.0 is also faster around a track than the Z. That's not top secret info. You don't need to keep restating the obvious. But to argue that the Mustang hasn't had a significant amount of chassis tuning specifically for the dragstrip is just asinine.

Back on topic. Let's drop it.

Not even a comparison. The Z/28 is a track car, it doesn't even have A/C. GM even stated that its for the guy who pulls it out of his garage, drives straight to the track, beats the **** out of most people there and drives it directly back to their garage.
