I went to see cirque du soleil last night and there was two dodger vipers there. I have to tell you they might be fast and fun to drive once in a while but they are not very comfortable looking. Windows were sliding windows, etc. Not a dd for them.

The 2011 GT now almost exactly matches the M3 on the track. ( 2011 BMW M3 Coupe vs. 2011 Ford Mustang GT - Specs - Motor Trend ) I don't believe the 370Z can keep pace unless it's a very tight autocross (basically no straights). There are plenty of reasons to pick either car, but raw performance goes to the Stang as of now.

That's the feeling I get from driving the two. The Mustang is better balanced and definitely faster, but the Z is more precise. All things being equal (i.e. conditions and driver skill) the Mustang absolutely will be quicker on any track save for some Auto X configurations.

That said, the Mustang is definitely the harder car to drive of the two. In some ways that makes it more fun to drive, but it's definitely going to be a little scary for an inexperienced driver. The Z has a good bit of understeer built into it which helps keeps you in check, whereas the Mustang is much more free to rotate through the center of a corner.

I think an inexperienced driver might be quicker in the Z than he would be in the Mustang around a track. Either way, both are ridiculously fun to drive.
