Actually, the Ford Model T has been proven to be a horrible car with many major flaws. It sold in that time period because it was cheap to the masses.

I know I shouldn't bite but it seems as if you have a problem with Mustang owners. The live axle is done because it is cheaper. They made the decision years ago to save money. The solid axle is better in a straight line and there are things that can be done to overcome many of its faults in corners. I did not mean a highly modded mustang with 600 HP against a stock Z. Just a couple grand in shocks and dampers. Many here mod their Z's with exhaust, cai's etc. worth more then a couple grand. You are correct in that Mustangs were designed for straight line however, look at some of the auto X times against the 370Z and you will find that in stock classes without HP increases that the Mustang can hold it own or win against the Z.
You also stated that a Z will beat a Cayman. It should outrun it as it has a bunch more HP(60). Compare HP to HP and the Cayman S should be its comparison. The Z will NOT beat the Cayman S either in a straight line or in the twisties. The Z like the Mustang was built to a price point. We each have cars that we love but I respect everyones' right to drive what they like. We can all pick apart the weakness of others' cars but I would rather embrace the love we all have for cars whatever they are...
