Yeha, I guess new Miata's are better. The only Miata I drove was an older one (early 2000s or late 90s), and it was weak. My Pontiac Grand Am felt better when accelerating. Driving a new Miata would probably increase my opinion on that car, but meh

I find it hard to believe that new 5.0 handle as well as Z, but even if they did, I'd still get a Z. Mostly because I believe that Z is built better than the Mustang, the Mustangs are very common, and the Z in my opinion looks better than the Mustang inside and outside.
Now, I would probably choose a Boss or GT500 over Z

But hey, lets not get too derailed? I think we just have different opinions and beliefs, and although mine is different than yours, I still understand and respect yours.

The Mustangs are built rather well these days. Ford has come a long way in quality in the past 10 years or so. We have had no real problems with my brother's '08 Mustang and the new ones are supposed to be built even better from my understanding. At this point, I honestly think you are splitting hairs on build quiality between the Z and Mustang. It also appears to do very well in the corners these days. I think the Z has an ever so slight edge, but my guess is that is due to weight more than anything. Just a guess though.
