Dont get me wrong, I loved both of the mustangs (torque and gear ratios are perfect) and it flies like a rocket. but rockets can only go so far in a straight line until you need to turn. '11 has made huge jumps up from the 06 in terms of supspension, but its still very long and very nose heavy. every time I cornered I felt like my *** was gonna tail out behind me, and in alot of cases it did, with me in a ditch in one incident. though partly my bad driving ). A boxer will never be able to beat a Jeet-kun do practitione, just wont happen. In the same way, the Z is less about raw power and more about speed, agility, and finesse. Like Ive said before, this car is incredibly smooth, and that is what leads to its immense speed. For the price there is really not much that can stand up to it. I like that alot eventually it stops being about straight lines and starts being about the whole picture. just my 2ct.
I feel yah, but if some mustang GT tries to race me in my 370z am I gonna get creamed if I don't mod the hell out of it?

Like I said, its about the whole picture. If its all about racing for you, the mustang may be the way to go, much more forgiving in most race scenarios. However, If you want to be faster, get the Z.

Why's it forgiving and I just want something that if some jerkoff is trying to drag me at a stoplight if I'm gonna get creamed.

The Z has a more limited aftermarket than a lot of vehicles, so remember that if you are intending to go big into modding. Unless you go straight to FI of course.

The 5.0 is the better racer, but the Z is faster? This makes no sense.

You are supposed to charge them, not the other way around...

At the track, I hope.

And typically, yes.

Is there anything in 30k range that could beat a Mustang stock or come close?
