Test drove a 5.0 Today

I LOVE both the new Stang (especially the Boss) and the Z. The Stang is a muscle car, the Z a sports car.

Having owned a Stang and having a buddy with the new 5.0 I can still say the Stang will not outhandle a Z; pure and simple. You cannot talk about "AWHH YEAH! I can mod the suspension on the Stang and it will be a corner carver!!" and compare that to the Z. If you mod the Stang, you will need to mod the Z. If you mod the Z accordingly from a suspension perspective, the Z still outhandles the Stangs (probally even the mighty Boss). Apples to apples.

Again, it comes down to what flavor do you want? While I REALLY love that Boss, I would never get one. The muscle cars of the world have the power (been there done that), the sports cars have the handling (RX8 - been there done that). The Z is the perfect blend; edit: civilized blend - Exige S is pretty hot! The Corvettes cost too much, the BMW 1 M Coupe, to lux for me (although that will be hot also!).

M4A1 Mustang, if you go to the Stang side do us a favor and get the BOSS!!! Then tell us all about it!!! You have your orders Sir.

*at least the Stang is the top muscle car on the block again!!!
