These different day, different driver tests are really meaningless. We unfortunately need to wait until a legit magazine like Motor Trend tests both a A8 SS and A10 GT, with the same driver, same place, recommended psi, 3/4 of a tank, etc. Then we will know more. While Ford has closed the gap, my gut stills says the SS will be a tenth or two quicker on average. Even more so M6 to M6.

On a side note, the drag guys must be dying to get that A10 into the SS. Probably another tenth in that alone, easily...as that is more responsible for helping close the gap than the 25 hp/20 tq. That should be proven more so when they test a new M6 GT.
