Surely, it can achieve better handling.
Now, what I was saying about the BR-Z was actually a compliment, though it does IMO affect what can be done to improve it. The BR-Z clearly has better handling, and that's the primary reason why it came close to running the same lap times as the Mustang. Because, the BR-Z was designed around its handling capabilities, I honestly believe there will be less room for improvement than what you would find in the Mustang. Don't take this as the Mustang will handle better in the long run. My point is all about the potential improvement in handling, not overall which is better.

better tires alone on the mustang moved the 0-60 time from 6.2 seconds to 5.1, and improved it handling from .88g lateral to .93 lateral
and that was going from tires that were comparable to brz's tires to almost race spec tires, open your mind, that 1.2 seconds the brz was slower than the mustang around willow can be sucked up by tires alone...
in all of what i say all you see it "brz is better than mustang" and you respond with "no way!!!!" im just saying the brz could match the mustang's time around this particular track with a tire upgrade, long track the brz wouldnt have a chance against the mustang
ok and heres hard facts

the gt86 posted a 1:46:081 with stock tires and a 1:43:439 with race tires thats a 2.642 seconds difference from tires alone, the track is about 13 seconds longer than the streets of willow, both tracks are comparable in how technical they are...
