Easy and semi cheap to make it a straight line MONSTER. I agree, I absolutely, love the terminators. Especially mystichrome cobras, but I digress.

If you want street performance aka the fun with torque and for 1/4 mile this car honestly is hard to beat. You want to take a car to a track for some twistys, then the Z will be the best. 2 different realms, both cars are above average comparatively with other stock cars.

+1. The Z is a better road track platform, however I do feel that a lot of people underestimate the Mustang's road track potential.

It might be underestimated, but still. I have owned one, given it was older, but still. Japanese and German cars will always edge out an American car on a real track. But the flip side American will for the most part always win on a drag. No replacement for displacement lol.

Not really true. Just look at the Corvettes. They will kick *** all over the place.

You can say that Japanese and American cars will always edge an American car out on a real track, but that's not really true. Sure, the Japs and Germans have built a number of cars that are great road-track oriented cars, but so have the Americans.

Same goes for drag racing. You say that the Americans have the advantage... but look at what a lot of the Japanese cars are able to do on the strip... and just look at the massive engines that MB stuffs into their performance cars.

There are A LOT of misperceptions out there. Don't let yourself get caught up in all of that madness.
