Impressions update! I drove the Mustang this morning to run a couple of errands after not driving it since I picked up the ZL1 on Wednesday. In summary:

-It felt a little slow unless I was really getting on it (then it feels like it's moving pretty well) despite driving in a lower DA than I've ever driven my ZL1 in (since it was in the morning), AND I've yet to go full throttle or past 4k rpms in the ZL1 (I'm being careful during the break-in period)! Half throttle and short shifting at 4k rpm and the ZL1 still feels quick.
-It felt imprecise (handling dynamics and steering-wise) compared to the ZL1; not terrible by any means - just not near ZL1 level;
-It felt more upright (but definitely not commuter sedan-like upright);
-It sounded freakin' good w/ that Borla S type!
-The GT interior design, while cool, looks and feels decidedly less "sports car" like IMO, and in my daughter's opinion.
-Regarding the ZL1...It was pretty cool to be able to tell my daughter at a hot rod car meet up this afternoon (my first "car meet up" in the ZL1): "Yes, my ZL1 has about as much horsepower as this Ferrari 488 GTB"...

Here's a pic from this afternoon, what you can't see is the show ready '68 Camaro SS with a 502 c.i. in it parked next to me (and that old yellow bus blocked some other old cool cars and a S197 '13/14 GT500)
