The steering feel isn't related to the size of the car as much as it is Ford's decision to use the stupid EPAS system. It's all computer controlled so it kills a lot of the feedback. If they used a normal steering rack the 5.0 would feel close to the same.

However, steering feel changes quite a bit when you are in sport mode or select something other than Comfort.

Uh, there is a difference in feel related to size between the vehicles. You know you're driving a larger vehicle in the Ford, from feel alone. Maybe not steering feel, but there is definitely that feeling that, "oh, I'm a tiny human in this large vessel", compared to the Z being a much more compact feeling, taut sports car.

Again, feel is also very subjective. I like the tighter feel of the Z. The Mustang is worlds more comfortable and spacious, though.

I never said it wasn't. I said the difference in steering feel is MOSTLY related to the EPAS. Read it again.

I don't need to read it again, I was raising a separate point.

Look, as proven on the Dragon this year, the Mustang can't catch a Z, and the Z can't match a top of the line trike with a fat lesbian driver.
