If you can go about it with an open mind you'll like it. Test a car with the Brembo package and 3.55 or 3.73 gear, though.

The Brembo brake Mustangs stop quicker than the Z. Braking power is insane on this car. Handling is actually pretty close to the Z. The Z feels a lot softer than the Mustang and has much more understeer. The Mustang has a MUCH better balance but is not as precise or direct as the Z.

Basically, both cars achieve nearly identical results in handling and braking. They just go about it a little differently.
