.....let me tell ya....on my '03 350Z the brake dust was ridiculous. But I'd gladly tolerate it for performance....but I swapped to Hawk pads, better performance and reduced brake dust.

No question....I was holding out for a Cayman,...but after a test drive, I realized it wasn't for me. Its not for people over 6'. Not comfortable at all. Otherwise, it was everything as advertised. I was really dissapointed, but felt alot better about not spending the extra money and staying with a Z.

I can almost guarantee the less-sticky and smaller tires on the Base, not to mention the small horsepower deficit and even WORSE brakes, would handicap the Base even more. Winner: Mustang GT.
The LL segment grouping is based on base price, not "as tested". If the Sport package is considered an option on the Base 370Z (as is the Track package - and any other options on the Mustang GT contribute to $6K over base price) then the Base Price for the 370Z price becomes <$30k.

I think they should group by "as tested" price and not base price. And I think they could do a better job of logically grouping looking at how the costs are distributed.
