Evan has been around a long time. The sword fell into the other hand when he ran the only sub 12 sec 1/4 mile in a C5 Z06 way back in 2003 or 2004...the Ford crowd cried foul all day long. He also ran two sub 13 sec 1/4 miles in a 2002 SS which was being used for Mustangs and FFs as a comparison to the current New Edge GTs (No Cobra for 2002), and that wasn't well received either...
Great entertaining posts everyone.
It's my opinion that the GT* (the * makes me laugh), is 0.1 sec faster than the equivalent auto SS. Everything else is difference in DA, traction, driver, etc.
0.1 seconds has long been considered a driver's race - basically whoever leaves first with traction.
Until the GT*, the SS was a lot more than a tenth faster, similar to those 4th gen days as referred to above.
