Yet his colors showed when he spent the majority of his time discrediting the Camaro and defending the Mustang. Now I'm not saying there is anything wrong with having a favorite. Just don't sit here yanking our chains if that is really the case.
I don't think I've ever discredited anything about either of these cars that I didn't feel deserved it.

As for any favoritism . . . well, I'm not going to trade my S197 in because it's still fun to drive both around town and on the road courses (and I've still got a few more things I want to try out on it). But that means I'm no more likely to shop at the Ford store next time or under the bowtie. Doesn't even make the difference in which one I'd go to first.

I never would have claimed that the PP1 was a 1LE competitor. But if it helps to think of that more in the spirit of not being a serious competitor I'll be OK with that.

Thing is, I think there's a couple of people over on M6G who think I should trade my GT for a new 1LE.


FWIW, drag racing is the most well known aspect about any US Domestic car with V8 power, but it isn't the only one. I'm really a sports car person, so perhaps I'm more aware of the corner-carving roots that these particular cars have also had since the 1960's.
