I would love to see some videos of this run to see how the track setup might have played to each's advantage. The interior was too busy in the Mustang, but I liked the easy track and suspension setting toggles. I wish it was easier to turn off all nannies rather than holding down the TC button for an hour in the Z.
I'm sorry - my post was confusing - second paragraph was me driving my Z. In my opinion the Z/28 has more brakes, puts power down better (and earlier) and is more stable when it comes to sliding It's also a much more "analog" car - you can drive the 350 "fast" without much talent (at least in whatever mode I was in) but the Z does not have that same safety net - to go fast you have to know how to go fast. I'm glad I got the z/28 but they both were really good cars.

Also, I didn't know we could no lift shift.
