Let's see. Claims that torque is meaningless in a performance aspect yet gets a whooping on the track, can't beat the 1LE in 0-60, and still can't beat it in the 1/4. Oh but the totally almost non-existent 1 mile drag strip it gets the win.. Which is probably the most useless thing there is cause it's fair to say a SS can easily overcome that gap in the long run due to basic physics. (Key words: Downforce and drag, the same things that give 1LE the advantage on the track)
And before the Mustang people get their panties in a knot. Google "Does downforce slow down a car":
The design increases safety for the driver as the cars go faster and faster each year. But as the speeds increase, for safety's sake, the downforce has to increase as well. The additional downforce increases drag which acts to slow the car down.
Mustang now costs more so it's less of a tuner platform everyone throws it around to be. On the 2016 models I would agree it's an amazing base car to start on before modding. But now? It's way less desirable on that front. The extra few thousands could be better spent on bolts on rather than playing catch up. Oh and there's also:
As tested by MT the Mustang (without Recaros, without video performance data recorder, without rear brembos, etc) was ˜$4,000 more than "the GM"
Tires is still an issue which is understandable. I guess Ford can't even build a proper performance package. At least they have the MPS4S which is better than the Run Flats; just skinnier though.
So basically we came to the conclusion that despite the odd-ball match of a track focused car vs an all rounder, the 1LE still takes the win. Can't wait til the PP2 is out, even more excuses will be made
