there are a hell of alot of S550 GT's running around on road courses with no issues despite Ford being adamant they are not track cars (while warranting them on track) Because they are track capable...hell they are even more capable than last gens track oriented Boss 302. That must certify them as track cars.

We’re debating squares and rectangles here. Every track car is track capable like every square is a rectangle, but every track capable car is not a track car like every rectangle is not a square. I consider any car that I or any other driver of decent skill level can take on a road course and drive at 80 - 100% for an extended amount of time to be a track car. I’ve driven the GT-R at GM Milford Proving Grounds. It’s a track car. I’ve driven the Porsche Cayman S at Milford. It’s a track car. If the GTPP2 can put up good numbers for a lap or two then has to cool off, it’s track capable but not a track car. It is a rectangle, but not a square.

The corporate suits that said the 6th Gen Camaro SS is a track car are much more accomplished track drivers than I will ever be, so if they say it’s a track car, it’s a track car.
