Sports cars are about more than numbers or lap times or 0-60 times. That's what magazine racing is for. Sports cars are about weight reduction, nimble handling, good driver feel, good balance, etc. A Bugatti Veyron or C63 AMG can lap faster than a Cayman R or S2000. Which ones are the better sports cars?
I recently test drove a 2011 Mustang. Felt pretty good, and decent balanced, but didn't really feel as crisp or as nimble as my Z felt. Dampers were a bit too soft. The car also felt very huge from the inside. A long never-ending hood with a big bump in the middle made it difficult to tell precisely where the front wheels were. And the worst thing as the steering. It was so numb and devoid of feel that it felt more like a Lexus than a sports car. The new mustang gt may post very good lap times, and have pretty decent handling, but it's still a bit more muscle car than sports car.
