The straight line speed will MORE than make up for the handling advantages of the Z in most tracks out there but you cant deny the driver "feel" of the car is lacking w/ the ford. This is the same reason miatas / porsches / some bimmers / Zcars / lotuses(? - is that how you pluralize lotus?) make wonderful drivers cars. Its how racey you feel driving it - come on - its not like most of us are setting any lap times anyway lol.

did I once make a comment about interior quality? for one, BUILD quality and MATERIAL quality are two completely different things. My Z's interior was much better, i've conceded that in posts in other threads. However, as far as BUILD quality, Ford is directly competing with all the other japanese brands and BESTING Nissan. The OP wants a fast drag car, the 5.0 wins, without question. In stock form and modded (mods are less expensive as well). And lets not get into the handling debate, we all read that M3 article. The live rear axle complaint carries no weight anymore.
