Fundamentals 1, substanceless flash nil
This is sort of interesting, if altogether not surprising. To us, it doesn’t even prove that the Mustang is a better car than the Z, or that Mustang owners on “StangNet” are cooler than Z owners on “My350Z.com.” All it shows is that fundamentals win out every time, and that at the end of the day, all flash and no substance are about as hollow as this Z owner’s preferred style of driving (three words: one hot mess).
And “grip driving?” C’mon.

That guy driving the Z was such a chump. Reminds me of people I see at the go-kart track who arrive in their riced out Civics, can’t hold their own in the slightest, and then blame the equipment. I love how the Z driver blamed his clutch and blamed his car’s handling for his losses. Maybe his clutch and his rear grip would be better if he wasn’t doing donuts and burnouts all the time.
