It's like they tell themselves that bullshit but deep down they really were hoping for a GT win...and got super disappointed when it lost.
Personally, using myself as an example, I fully expect the ZL1 to lose to the GT500. I don't even hope it will win because there is no way it should. So when it loses, I won't be sore about it at all. The PP2 vs the SS 1LE, I think that could go either way with the advantage going to the SS. It will be interesting. But I would not be surprised if the GT PP2 wins. Nor will I be disappointed. But these GT guys all claim that they never expected a win but they actually did. It is funny really.

I just hope they do M6 to M6 tests...

After that this thread quickly derailed into 1/4 times GT350 and PP2 talk. I really don't think anyone in here ever thought the PP1 was going to hang with the 1LE.
Here is some of the first posts on 6G when the head to head was about to drop.

MSRC, MagneRide
Brake upgrade, Brake upgrade
Tire upgrade, Tire upgrade
I still think the 1LE will have the edge though. The Alpha is just a better chassis...sorry.

No one expected the PP1 to beat the 1LE. Blaq you seem to to be the only one who keeps saying Mustang boys thought it was going to be close or better than the 1LE. Now I am sure some expected it to be better than it was, and might be dissappointed in that, but I don't think there is anyone that thought the PP1 had a chance. I think your just looking to argue lol

Furthermore I don't see where the Mustang trolls here were saying that.
Frankly it looks more like it was false accusations of Camaro fans here to needlessly tarnish the Mustang folks..which they do enough already themselves.

Hell this site and 6G are the only forums I frequent that are even talking about this test.
