Can the GT do the same.
All day!

I think what you are getting at, and what this forum was telling the trolls, is that it is too early to make a fair comparison on these cars.

Its funny now, but "let's wait and see" is the new tune instead of "The '18 will dominate all". Funny how more tests results have quieted the trolls.

Most people here were only encouraged and inflated by the trolls insanely bold claims that were clearly made too soon, and based on hero runs.

The crow must taste awful. I hope the '18 making it a drivers race is enough for the Fanboys, but based on what I have seen it is most certainly not enough for them. I think that is solely based on over-inflated expectations driven by a few ignorant Fanboys. The fact that the '18 is a MUCH better car overall than the '15-'17 is getting overshadowed by the fact that it still is not faster than the SS.

The fact is, the Alpha is too good for the S550 to compete with all things equal. That does not make the S550 any less awesome for what it it, BUT I am worried the new price structure is outside the Mustang's wheel house. High priced GT's wont sell well at all. Bring on the heavy discounts!
