such a sensitive boy. Here have a hug

I didn't complain about it nor did I report it. If I did then trust me I would have no trouble admitting it. My reply to it got deleted as well. You think I reported my own shit too? I addressed YOU. And sensitivity has nothing to do with it. You were out of line which is evident by the fact that your post was deleted. Instead of trying to place blame on others maybe you should own up to your transgression.

What you want to do and what you actually could do are about as far apart as your home state of Florida is from where I'm at in NJ. Don't delude yourself into thinking it is anything more than a fantasy of yours tough guy.

And despite all that, nothing about the GT being a POS or being slower than the Camaro SS or being the slowest of the 3 Muscle Cars for the past 3 years will change. Your fantasies about me and the GT being competitive are both farfetched and impossible. Keep dreaming.

No way the car E. Smith drove could have been 100 percent stock. That's like saying every A8 car on the list has an owner who would never lie and could be trusted with nuclear secrets because he's driving a 6th gen camaro. Im a chevy guy by nature but even i can admit to some of the bs that's been assumed in this thread

Why would I go over there? What business would I have? I don't have a Mustang and as of right now I am pro-Chevy/Dodge.

I think some of it is reasonable. I mean, it's pretty obvious that they didn't just grab one at random off the assembly line to send on over.

Well you ASSumed I should tell them hello so I ASSumed so should you....

If it didn't come off the assembly line like the rest then where did it come from? Did they have someone standing by to make sure just 1 engine was built that was stronger than the others? Did they have a tech guy standing by to make sure that 1 car had its electronics upgraded so the car could perform better? Do you ASSume that everyone on the A8 list is being honest? I see 12 and 11 time slips on the A8 list so what gives? Why aren't they all running 11.8 or 11.7? Who was there to verify these times instead of just believing what was being told just because its our beloved Camaro? If a couple of Camaro's can run in the 11's and the rest in the 12's then why is it so hard to believe a mustang can do the same? See in this thread everything is just a lot of bench racing about what, how and why a certain car ran a certain number. If it's the car we like we don't question anything but if it's not then...And by the way, love those 2 beasts you have!

You've got it all wrong. 11.8 is just the beginning for the GT. It managed that within two weeks and traps 119 mph. 11.6 @ 121 mph is inevitable. We've been told it's going to hurt a lot of feelings. The GT is on par with the C7 Stingray.

I didn't assume anything. I said to tell them we all said hello.

I said they didn't just randomly pick one GT off the line and send it over. Whichever one they sent obviously came off the assembly line. But we all know that the GTs that are capable of running those times (don't exist) would have to be optioned and spec'd a specific way. They sent them one that could run those times which means it was specifically picked...not randomly.

Thanks man. Much appreciated. These are the two best cars I ever owned. And it is awesome what GM and FCA are doing. I hope the GT500 lives up to all my expectations so all 3 manufacturers can have some monsters!! Don't let me down Ford!!!!

If it ran the number it ran the number. Do you doubt A8 Camaro's just being bought and going to the strip running 11's? The idea of the stang running with a C7 or a Zl1 stock is a stretch by the GM crowd from what ive been reading. The references ive seen about that discussion has always been what a bolt-on stang has the capability of doing. Hasn't someone already gone in the 9's with a boosted 2018 stang?

No sir. The GT in stock form is underrated and is actually making 490 HP. 11.8 and 119 mph within the first two weeks besting what the Camaro could do in two years. This is just the beginning. The GT is going to hurt a lot of feelings. I've read about it right here.
