That comment lost all credibility - this isn't 1998, no one with even 10 minutes of car modifying knowledge uses those canned tunes anymore - but especially not at this HP level and price range.

Hmm... There are thousands of people driving around with VMP canned tunes on their Mustangs and are very happy with them. Again, the Camaro aftermarket tuning must be vastly different from the Mustang aftermarket tuning.

There you go being Mr. Disingenuous, again. You know dang well what I'm talking about.

Notice the performance numbers chart. By 130MPH the Ecoboost is putting literal bus lengths on the V6 Camaro. Even at the lower acceleration speeds, the 200 lbs heavier Ecoboost is still all over the V6 Camaro.

^^LOL! And you do care. Otherwise, you wouldn't keep questioning it. Why you care so much is the real question. And while a Mustang GT's value falls off a cliff before the ink on the contract dries, two years later, I can still sell my R for more than I owe on it.

LOL! Again, why do you care whether or not I own a GT350R so much? You just keep questioning it. LOL

A 1200HP Camaro isn't daily driveable? Must be a Camaro thing.

I said that right off the bat. No big revelation there. Your hardcore fanboyism compelled me to speak.

Yeah, what YOU thought was a fair shake. In the cultured world, we call that a "backhanded compliment", which, in the end, is no compliment at all.

I've only been here a few days, and this is literally the only thread I've read. So how would I know any of that? And with all the crap you talk about the GT500, and Mustangs in general, I seriously doubt you're giving any real thought to buying a GT500. That is, unless you're one of those guys who just HAS to have the next new shiny toy that comes out.

Nope. I don't even go to Mustang 6G.

Nope. Not "just looking to fight" at all.

If they do then they're just doing what they should have done 4 years ago. It isn't my fault that they're this late to the table. We're just calling them out for their own failures. Deal with it pal.

Better late than never, right?

You said the S550 program was extended just to build the GT500. I said that notion is ridiculous. And I stand by that.

Now seeing as how you're replying back to everyone, I know you saw my reply. You saw it, realized you were wrong, and chose to ignore it out of humiliation. But facts are facts. The entire Gen was extended an extra year and that is solely due to the GT500 delays. There is no other reason for this. So I await your reply. And yes, I'm being very petty right now.

None of those links were from Ford. Just speculation from media outlets. The original expectation was that the S550 would run out to 2025. So, no, it hasn't been extended a year, unless you're saying it's going to run to 2026.

Either way, Ford wouldn’t give them a 350 to go H2H with the 1LE, just like they wouldn’t give them a Boss LS for the 5th gen 1LE. Maybe Ford knows something.

The Boss 302 Laguna Seca was out of production before the Z28 hit the market. That's probably the reason. Motor Trend did have a GT350R and a GT350 in their press fleet at the same time. They tested them both at Chuckwalla on the same day, driven by Randy Pobst. I don't know if they had to give it up to another media outlet before the BDC competition. It could also be asked, why didn't Chevy provide an SS 1LE to Motor Trend when they had the GT350R, GT350, and Z28 at Chuckwalla? As far as head-2-heads go, the "lower" cars just don't draw as much interest as the halo cars.
