I never jumped on any bandwagon. I was the first person on this forum to say that he removed the swaybar. That is an old Mustang trick. And for the record there were several YTers who also said the same thing. My gripe was that people like yourself tried to compare Evans run to the magazine times of the SS because it made the GT look good. I flat out told you that if you consider Evans run then you have to consider it in comparison to the Camaro runs on YT also in which case there were some in the 11.8 range. You didn't want to hear it. And what happened? The GT turned around and did exactly what I said it would do much to your chagrin.
And I don't GAF about Evans. I don't know him. I never heard of him before he did the 18 GT runs. And I don't care how respected he is in Mustang world or what he accomplished. It means nothing to me.

As for the A10, it has yet to be tested by a reputable magazine in a head to head with the A8 camaro. It has shown that it is well capable of similar times at the dragstrip (which you continue to dismiss)…because only camaro hero runs are allowed on this forum.

WTF are you talking about? I just said that the GT was slower and that it did a 12.6. You're losing your marbles kid. I said that if you take the fastest SS run (12.3), then it is faster than the best GT run (12.5 if I remember) as both were officially tested. And again, you had no issues comparing modded GT runs on different days and at different tracks to our ZL1 fast list runs. So now all of a sudden when it doesn't suit you it isn't fair right? And similar times still means that the GT has lost in each and every comparison. Even if it does match the SS it still got it's ass handed to it on the track. And at the same price that means it is a huge failure. Same price, slower in the quarter, and much slower on a track. Congrats Ford. The only thing you managed to match the SS in is price.

I have only talked about official times. YT videos are nowhere near official. And you know it. And why the hell do you care if I ignore or acknowledge it? I don't give 2 shits about the Mustang.
