Speed limiter vs oil temps = world's most boring race.

Take off the limiter. Now its oil temps vs exploding driveshaft. That's more exciting.

Now give the Z an oil cooler.

Exploding driveshafts vs failing brakes. That's a proper race

As far as new 5.0 being better than Z around the track, that's expected The Z can probably hang in the corners, but then it will get out "muscled" in the straights. the v-6 mustang which will have similar power to the Z and similar weight will be more of a direct comparison.

a proper comparison would be a 5.0 vs a single or small twin turbo Z. both with Around 420 hp.
How do you figure? Turbo set up on a Z would be 40k or so...to the stangs 31. Throw 9k of aftermarket on the stang in suspension and power and see what happens still...

And yes I have sat in one. I'm 6ft 250 pounds and I LOVE how tiny it is.

I like the S5 but it's a touch pricey for what it is.

A turbo z is 40k? Woah. How much are you paying for the z, $25k?

Yeah, it is brutal. Great value if you can find one that is like 1 year old traded in by a trophy wife that didn't like it. I just need to find one of those with the options I like. Saw one that had 5k miles and was 6 months old, flawless...40% off sticker
