Haven't had a stock Evo event come close to beating my Z this past season. It's the SP EVOs that have huge HP advantage that beat my car currently. My Z is still making close to stock HP. And national level EVO out on big track is equalized with my car due to poor high speed dynamics brought on by limited strut suspension.

People are fooling themselves if they think this car is anything special. It all spice and where's the beef? Sure with $20k in suspension work you might have something that holds tires where they need to be, can't wait to see all ridiculous TRD suspension braces for the Toyota. The car is a loser. It's too bad as I had higher hopes.

But I would expect a Mustang guy to think any independent suspension is earth shattering. Lol!

You do realize the new Mustang is faster than the Z around a track right? Solid rear axle and all...

Oh yeah... IBTL.

as it should, with 2 more cylinders, 1.3 more litres, and 80 more hp. Compare the z against the v6 mustang which has about the same straight line performance, and the z is faster.

You're right and you don't even really have to compare it to the current V6 and V8 offerings of the Mustang which are updates. The Z has yet to be updated and it has been out since 08' and when compared to the V6 and V8 Mustangs of that time it soundly beats them.

I just love it when people get all defensive and butt hurt when the Z doesn't come out on top. There will always be someone faster so why stress?

This is probably the most important point in this thread. Z is faster than leaf and the Aventador is faster than the Z.

8cyl>6cyl>4cyl etc. makes sense.

Depends where you run.

The z walks away in a straight line from the current v6.
