I still think driving a Mustang will be more fun due to the torque available, you will still have to work the z pretty hard to get into the power band. Peak hp numbers are just that...peak numbers that don't have that much to do with driveability and power under the curve.
they took off 200lbish with the use of Carbon Fiber and lighter metals, but lost alot of that due to saftey.


well if your talking about the curve you must know that the new torque powerband peaks 2-5krpm for added low end power.
