Tested: 2023 Nissan Z Performance vs. 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1:
Wheelbase and width are only a small part of the Mustang's advantage in high-speed maneuvering. Its adaptive dampers make a noticeable difference in how it responds in the dives and rises of a mountain road. The Z feels less yielding—it's stiffer and more easily startled. But where Nissan really biffed it is on tire choice.
Turbos may be an efficient way to make horsepower, but nothing sounds like a free-breathing V-8. It's a roll-the-windows-down-and-seek-out-tunnels sound. The Z doesn't even come close. It's almost silent, disappointingly enough that we felt bad for the kids at an overlook who asked to hear it. Their faces clearly said,"That's it?" Look kid, it will be a better car for sneaking home late. You don't sneak anywhere in a Mach 1.
