EDIT: Sorry to get off topic but I didn't wanna start a new thread and I kinda feel this is sorta in the same category as Z compared to XXX and how disappointing, power wise, the Z is stacking up.

Very impressive offering by Ford. Numbers do look very nice on paper.

I'm sure this car is very fast in the 1/4, .94 G's on the skidpad doesn't tell the whole story about handling, a lot of it is attributed to the tires.

If I recall the 3000GT VR4 used to pull some mightly impressive numbers on the skipad, over .90 G's also. In real life it's a handful in the twisties, mainly due to its weight. I have a feeling it will be the same for this Mustang, Fast in a straight line, handling looks good on paper but in real life it will be nowhere near as enjoyable tossing around or precise as a 370Z. I could be totally wrong also.
