But then when the Camaro wins then the next excuse will be because the shocks are better and people will wanna put equal shocks on both cars. Or this...or that. These cars come from the factory equipped a certain way. The tires they have are factored into the price of the car and are part of the car itself. And a lot goes into the process of the manufacturer picking a specific tire. If people wanna give all the credit to the tire then so be it. But they would still be acknowledging that bone stock from the factory the Camaro outperforms the Mustang.

True, if doing tests was all about bragging rights which I don't think was really the intent in the beginning. If we can zip up our pants and put the measuring tapes away for a minute, it would be cool to talk about more than which one wins and more about why. We already know the 1LE is faster and there is a long list of reasons. We already know it turns lap times faster or as fast as cars MUCH more expensive, including the GT350.
It would be really cool and informative to see what happens in tire swap tests. For me tires and wheels never stay for me long, at least not tires, and I think that's very common among enthusiasts. This would be a very useful test to show what the suspension itself in the car is all about and capable of. Would be great to see for PP1 and PP2, v 1LE or not.
