If the Z is not fast enough for you, that's just how it is (unless you go FI). But throw the Z around some turns at speed and then go drive a Mustang. Of the four you listed, IMO the Z will give you the best track experience. Just my

I strongly considered a 2012 or 2013 5.0 Mustang congruently with the Z. I even test drove a used 2012 automatic for a weekend. Loved it, the torque is extremely intoxicating and I love V8's, especially 32V. I think mildly lowered and a good exhaust system on the stang and it would be all that much sweeter. Handled well too for a bigger car. Just couldn't work a good deal on the stang and it came down to timing with the Z. I was considering a WRX Sti but I don't think they thought I was a serious buyer. Kind of got that, "You're not worthy of our precious Subaru" or you're here just to tire kick and be a test pilot only. They did not offer me any test drives on the WRX so that turned me off in a way. A two seater is not an issue with me since the wife has a three row Traverse for our small family and I have a Mazda daily driver. I know there are plenty of Mustangs cruising around but I'd go with the Z or Mustang. It's really hard to get used to the short first gear of the Z having come from my ZX-10R that would pull 100 mi/hr in first gear LOL.

It's not really that hard to figure out the orders of those *numbers*.

370 > 335 > 10(X) > 5.0
