I don't fault the review for pointing out the differences in seating arrangement. Some people have more than one friend to drive around every now and then. It's a good thing Ford finally put some decent tires on the Mustang (as part of the track pack) Otherwise, that comparison would have been as ugly as the Shelby GT vs the new STI.

Speaking of tires, both the G8 GT and Z cars come with really aggressive Bridgestone Potenzas. I'm not sure, but I think they're 130 treadwear tires. They'd better put up some good handling numbers with grip like that.

bridgestone potenza tires have the ability to make you upset after a while, they tend to sound louder and a bit obnoxious as you drive, a set of them on my 7 had me thinking something was rubbing until I talked to a few people and was told about it

Well, they just did. The Mustang hauls its extra weight around pretty well, solid rear axle and all.
