If it didn't handle at least as good as the Z I never would have bought mine.

The stats in the rags say the Z handles better, but only very, very slightly. Once again, the driver most likely makes the difference, and the Mustang's acceleration blows the Z away on straightaways.

Again, pro drivers, 10/10ths stuff. In all practical use and amongst enthusiasts like us, the Mustang handles just as well and the Z accelerates fast enough.

Specific handling tests are one thing, but actually putting it all together (i.e. lap times) are what matters the most. Straights removed the 5.0 and Z are neck and neck.

Both are awesome cars... the Mustang just has a hard time trying to prove that it can actually handle because NO ONE believes it. Even when presented with hard evidence.

Oh well, it works for me. I love taking non-believer friends for rides. Going into a corner hot they think we're going to die.

I've ridden in your Mustang, and I've driven behind it on the Dragon.

Anyone who says it can't handle is full of crap.

If it's quantifiably worse than the Z in the corners, I've not got the butt sensors to recognize it.

And I've got the switch to temporarily turn off the laws of physics.
