  • I spoke ONLY of Mustang performance with no reference to a ZL1.
  • So the Ford should be "twice as fast" with twice as much horsepower, but the ZL1 shouldn't? The point is that "twice the HP = twice as fast" is completely ridiculous. Saying it over and over is silly and makes your argument look extremely weak. Is the ZL1 twice as fast as the V6 Camaro? No.

  • FORD is the company screaming 650 HP. Not me.
  • Ford is also screaming that gear ratio changes make it such that it isn't actually putting more torque to the ground, which makes it EASIER, not more difficult, to put the power down. Yet you COMPLETELY ignore that FACT because it completely invalidates your point.

  • Ford is the company that went the cheap route, after building a very good IRS for the Mustang Cobra, building a 650 HP GT500 with a three link.
  • FORD is the company that killed the FORD AU IRS Falcon platform.
Ford is the company who's "cheap route" has been crushing the Camaro in performance. Are there ANY SS/5.0 comparos that the SS has actually won? Can the SS with it's vastly superior suspension hang with the 5.0 at VIR? No.

I suggest you direct your complaints about the marketing and design of the GT500 to
Lol, what's to complain about? The GT500 is going to destroy the ZL1 in a straight line (which is where probably 99% of spirited street and/or track driving occurs) and will probably beat it at VIR too.
