I again don't see the point of lowdown's argument, because I'm having a hard time figuring out what combination of option packages I can order-up on the ZR1 to hit 202mph... Anyone???

Furthermore, the similarities and comparisons that can be drawn between a 1969 ZL1 and a 2012 ZL1 are the name, and..... That's it.

I've arrived at the conclusion that today's institutional padded cells have free WiFi, and voice-texting technology now allows one to play on the internet while bound in a straightjacket..

I apologize, and will attempt to resume posts of relative reason and objectivity as the conversation piques my interest.

No. All coupes will do 200+, regardless of options. Where did you hear otherwise?

Just testing/numbers you guys have been posting were with the packages. The reviews all talk about the 54k number, then 64k as tested.

Ford never said that. It was an assumption made by a writer that is incorrect. Jamal has already put this to bed.

You mean on Camaro5 the misinformation about the Mustang is incorrect? Go figure.
