I really don't think fastball was serious about the metric thing; just trying to make a poor joke, I would guess.

So, has anyone compared the two platforms in any detail to show the strengths/weaknesses of both? So far it's just people deciding one is better than the other based on what a model built on the Alpha weighs.
I am serious because I've followed GM's engineering news since they hired deNyschen. You guys need to do your homework, and I'm not doing it for you.

Alpha IS more advanced than the Mustang, that is a fact. Go to your little computer and use your little mouse and do a little homework.
