you complain alot about having to mod cars. I dont know why you have modded both your supercars , but I mod mine because I enjoy it. I get a sense of accomplishment from modding and would mod my car to go faster even if it were the quickest car on the planet.
And for starters I wasn't talking about the A10. I'm talking about the Mustang's lack of performance. The S550 got slower than the S197 and was barely beating even the 370Z Nismo if it even could beat the 370Z at all. There is no reason why in 2015 a V8 Muscle Car with RWD should have been as slow as a 13. So although I think a 12 flat is impressive, I also won't cheer Ford because they should have been doing this in 15 like everyone else.

And I am not complaining about modding cars thanks for exaggerating that. Modding cars is one thing. But when the GT was soo slow that the entire damn car had to be modded just to keep up with the competition, that says a lot about how pitiful it was from the factory. You can be mad but it is a fact that the GT was horrible in performance for the past 3 model years.
