M/T: 2016 Mustang EcoBoost

Everything was going fine until I saw the figure 8.

24.2 sec @ 0.79 g

It seems like a misprint. Why? Because the GT350 is also 24.2. The GT350 is way, WAY faster and supposed to be way, WAY better handling (it certainly has better tires at the very least).

Is that even possible??

Cut and paste error from the GT350 spec table?

The Gs are different.

Did Ford add handling mojo to all Mustangs for 2016? Or at least the EcoBoost?

I think it must be a misprint.

The 2015 EcoBoost did 25.5 and pulled about the same lateral Gs on the skidpad, and is about the same in all other measurements.
