The issue with the Z in a drag race is getting it off the line. We know how hard the Mustangs can launch, but no one really knows how hard the Z can on slicks. No one knows how much the diff and half-shafts can take without shattering. I figure jnaut will find out soon enough!

Either way, I think this is purely entertainment... nothing else. It doesn't prove anything. We'd be better off calling the folks at (the real) TopGear and having them do some silly challenges with the Z and 5.0.

Well, the Z makes a better boat but the Mustang is better for camping.

The Mustang can pull a caravan far better than a Z!

Longer wheel base is better for towing! (insert Jeremy Clarkson comment about a rear end designed for a lorry)

Then they can drop a piano on the caravan for good measure. "See! It's ability to tow a caravan AND a piano is biblical!"

And for a reliability comparo they can subject both cars to the testing they put that Toyota Hilux through.

Which will best survive the English Channel? The 370-Zed or the Mustang!

How about a drop from a 30 story building?
