That was a bit shocking when I first saw it. I've driven a 2005 GT several times, and that goes to 70 in 2nd with a 6000 redline. I know there are 6 gears now, but that is still a big difference. With that gearing, why could the Mustang only muster a burnout 1/3 as long as the Camaro, with nothing in 2nd?
