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.

Just in the last month, I know of two threads that were essentially closed over the Camaro vs. Mustang bit....and several posts/new users have been tossed. Additionally, there were tons of people who piped up with like 2-10 posts, all about Mustangs....or accounts that had been dormant for 3-4 years all of a sudden posting about Mustang, Mustang, Mustang...
We can all easily agree there are idiots in both crowds, but this particular release of the new A10 Mustang really stirred up a lot of people. I certainly do appreciate the more, calmer heads who love their vehicles, regardless of what it is. Some good-hearted ribbing, back n forth convos are always welcome....but some people just can't let it go...even when it's on our side too..
