I find it laughable if some folks are going to hang their hat on the edmunds run as the benchmark. You're fooling yourselves if you think a 0-60 of 4.6 seconds is realistic in this car. The ET and TRAP are also below the mark of where we will see this car fall. I've seen too many stronger runs on youtube from others who have hardly any time in the car to believe otherwise. Unless they're all lying about being stock.
If the driver couldn’t launch the A10 efficiently, he’d be worse in the manual SS.

I find it even more laughable that some folks are hanging their hats on the GT A10 hand selected by Ford hero run roll out.

This Edmunds outing is being jumped on because the Ford camp was trolling so hard for a conflict and then a M6 beats the mighty A10. That’s funny stuff
