The new Car & Driver has comparison between the new Z28 and the GT.
The Z28 now is available with a 190 hp 305.  This gives it a slight
edge in the power to weight ratio.  They also mention a knock sensor
that can give you an extra ten hp increase if you use a high grade unleaded.

The numbers of the test are as follows:

		Mustang GT 		Camero Z28


1/4 mile        15.4 @ 90		15.0 @ 93

skidpad		  .76 g			  .83 g


	The Camero also had a .3 sec edge in the 0-60 time.

	Considering the Mustang is a continuation of design
released in the 1977 model year, it didn't do too bad.
The testers liked the Z28 mainly for its handling advantages.

	I am looking forward to a redesign by Ford with more 
emphasis on aerodynamics.
