I think a more interesting comparison might be the Mustang Ecoboost with the HPP/Handling Package.
Base price is $33K w/o the handling package--GT brakes.HD suspension 3.55 rear, LSD, larger radiator. Handling package/mandatory premium package $4.7K get Mag shocks/wider wheels and Pirelli Cora...
Great report.
When I first saw the specs on this car, my concerns about the brakes and traction first came to mind.
Small brakes on a 400HP/3500lb car with 56% of it's weight on the front wheels sounds like a problem waiting to happen. Likewise, no LSD makes control, either straight line...
New member, former 280Z turbo owner:
!)Has anyone posted a road test or acceleration times for that model equipped with a manual?
2)LSD--there is no LSD available on this model?
3) Floating caliper 2 pot brakes on front--did these carry over from the 370Z
Love the styling, but can't believe...
