In terms of handling, you have the jumbly thing of the 370z or the mustang

Then the M3

Then somewhere off in the distance there is the Cayman.
I agree with that BUT... For an FR, I think the Z does a good job as a 8/10ths Cayman that's half the price.

The mustang might be 9/10th's of a M3 on paper, but behind the wheel. it's still an 8/10ths car that lacks a lot of driver involved feedback.

That's fine.

All I took issue with was the thought that the Z and Mustang were equidistant from their respective targets on the handling front.
