Here is some of the first posts on 6G when the head to head was about to drop.
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
Hell this site and 6G are the only forums I frequent that are even talking about this test.

There were plenty people on YT videos and FB pages/groups making some pretty dramatic claims. I lumped them all in the same pot because a lot of them came from M6G and other forums. Heck we had SSFriendly making bold claims that a GT with a tire and tune would beat ZL1s. Plus, like kttxz06 said, a lot of threads here got shut down, a lot of posts got erased/deleted by mods, a lot of trolls edited their posts, etc. I'm betting the same thing happened over on their forums. You picked a handful of people who were rational and said the GT PP1 would not beat the SS. But there are tons more who said it would.
Plus the point of my post was that even among those who said the GT PP1 would not win, there certainly was a sense of hope that it would win. They took that loss very deeply. If it didn't matter and if they expected it to lose then they would have had no problem with the loss. A lot of those guys sat here and argued with me up and down when I predicted what the GT would run. They honestly thought it was going to do high 11s to low 12s. The videos by Lund and Evans and everyone else did nothing but fuel their stupidity. They came over here in groups...like, 1 new member a day damn near, all just to announce that the GT was going to beat the SS. Remember all those accounts that got suspended?
You can certainly say that this is all something I made up. It doesn't matter to me. But even if they expected it to lose I doubt they expected it to get slaughtered in such a fantastic fashion. The loss was soo evident that the PP2 will have to make some serious strides above the PP1.
