And by going to great lengths, you mean actually equipping a GT similarly to a 1LE with adequate suspension tuning? Crazy, I know.

The GT is the base model V8 Mustang. And it loses to the base model V8 Camaro. Now I don't care what trim you think is the appropriate match. It loses. The base GT loses to the base SS in everything. The GT PP loses to the base SS. The GT PP loses to the SS 1LE. The GTPP loses to the 2SS. When you compare base to base and go up a trim level the GT loses. When you compare the price and match them accordingly the GT loses. Driver's race in a straight line like it was from 11-14. But the GT is still slower. Meaning that a good driver in a GT can beat a driver of less skill in a SS. But equal drivers and the SS will win. On a track the SS wins. In every performance category the GT has lost. And unless the GT PP2 is a homerun, it will lose to. So no matter how you slice it the GT loses. No matter how close it comes it still loses. AT every comparable category with every comparable consideration it loses. It was not built for comfort. It was not built to NOT match the Camaro. Everything Ford has done has been to keep up with the Camaro and they are barely hanging in there. They directly targeted the SS and the SS 1LE. They took their overnight off the clock team's ideas and put them into motion because they are trying to beat the Camaro. They upped the price because the upgrades done to it to keep up with the Camaro meant higher costs. They marketed it to the performance industry because they are showcasing it's capabilities in direct competition to the Camaro. This isn't some game that you're trying to make it out to be. If it was then you wouldn't be here at all. Ford is trying to match the Camaro. They can't because the Camaro is that good.
