We are talking about this test. The PP2 VS the 350. The 350 performed better in all areas except braking and skid pad. You made it seem like only Ford could allow that to happen. I gave you evidence that the SS1LE beats the ZL1 in those same metrics.




Yes I said the 350 should have gone away years ago. It was not built to go fast in a straight line, who cares if a GT PP1* is faster in a straightline. But as evidenced by this test, it goes around a track better than the GT. Even with all the PP2 goodies, a tire advantage and trickle down tech the 350 is still a better track car than the GT. C&D even said when pushed, its more planted, its more controlled, the steering is better. You just wanted to come at it bc a test showed a GT having 2 better metrics that in the end didn't matter, because the 350 was still faster on the road course and in the 1/4 mile. as you and hotlap and others love to mention there is 1 specific combo of options on a GT that is faster than a 350 in the 1/4 mile - an option combo that is designed to excel in that arena vs a car that designed to excel in a different arena. So to me it looks like a car the still in the mustang line up in the pecking order it's in excels in the area it is supposed to.

The fact that Ford is still making it, people are still buying it should be a good thing with whatever brand you support. With how much the segment is shrinking, its good that they still make cars like this



I have no words for that upcoming test other than what the actual **** but speaking of that



That upcoming R&T article aside bc yes GT500 will have every advantage there but where are all these other comparisons it had the advantage and lost? You said you would go through them so where are they?

This upcoming R&T article is as far as I know only the 3rd comparison for the GT500



It is odd very odd.



Hopefully

I tend to dismiss the whole notion of the gt350 being slower than the best GT. Makes no sense. I know I'll pick on the gt350 here and there to get under some fanboys skin but it's a badass car and m6 to m6 it always beats the best GT by at least 1-3 tenths at a much higher trap speed. It doesn't beat the camaro ss m6 to m6, they seem to be about the same, but it traps higher than the ss as well.

I don't see the point of comparing how the GT a10, really the GT a10*, is slightly faster. Really going by major magazine published run to published run the GT* is only a tenth faster at the gt350s best not counting fast list type times or prepped surface max effort "reviews" vs magazine times.
