Ford got this statement out which to me is insurance so that if the GT500 doesn't hit it's mark, then they'll be spared humiliation. But lets see...over 700 HP, DCT 7 speed, 6 years in development...why the hell would they think that anyone would believe such a bullshit statement??

You may be right Blaq, but Ford has NEVER(at least to my knowledge and in the recent generations) published lap times. They have never used that as a markting tool like GM has. Never did it with the BOSS, GT350R, 04 Ford GT, current GT, Focus RS, It's jsut not something they do. They have always let the media take care of that apsect for them.

It's called "Do it right the first day and you will not have to improve it the following week"
Obviously Camaro responds, but does not have to do it several times during their respective generation (and we talk about responding by increasing horsepower or other technical changes), Reasons? Martin mentioned them yesterday.

What he said. I am curious to see what would happen if in Bizaro world when the 7th gens come out, if it was the other way around and the GT dominated the SS, if GM would alter their approach
