Bullshit. You and others thought it wuld do low 12s. You never once stated it would go mid 12s. I did. Several times. And I was met with opposition by many a troll. Just for it to run mid 12s. High in the mid 12s at that. LOL!!

You and the other trolls made every attempt to compare Evans to the mag times.

Then why did every troll on here come at me when I said it would do mid to high 12s at best? Answer that.

A10 GT to M6 SS and the GT STILL lost. And even the dumbest most Mustangest trollboy on the planet knows that the A8 is faster than the M6. Which thru obvious intelligence means that the A8 SS has the advantage over the A10 GT since the A10 GT lost to even the M6 SS. You'd have to be stupid AF to not see that.

Because the only way a GT can beat ANY V8 Camaro is if it is modified and the Camaro is stock. Yea. COngrats on that bro.

Not worth a reply.

How many years did you hold a subscription? Everything out of that mag was for the sole purpose of selling magazines. I was heavy in my Mustang phase at that point. Thank GOD I broke out of it. That magazine is garbage. I wouldn't wipe my ass with it. Show me a PI 99-04 GT on stock internals running high boost and making over 550 to the wheels while being flogged daily on pump gas with no E85 or meth injection. That was just one of the bullshit articles I read. And trust me, there are plenty more of that caliper. I wouldn't believe MM&FF at midnight if they told me it was dark outside. They are FOS to a degree that I never witnessed before. Take every YT comment promoting a Mustang, exaggerate it to the 10th degree, and then make up a complete BS story around it and that is every article you'll read in that mag.

At my local track (Woodburn, Oregon) on an average Friday Night Drags/open track event they prep the track very well and you can get 5-6 runs in with at least 30 minutes of cooldown between each run. There's no pressure, you're not bracket racing or in for cash..you're just running test and tunes or grudge races.

All this noise about closed tracks, pro drivers, etc..it's bullshit. It's just noise to distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda Civics with Spoon Engines. And on top of that he just went into Harry's and ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motek System Exhaust.
Woodburn is my home track as well and they do a fabulous job with track prep even on street legal Friday night drags. I'll Gladly race any stock 6th Gen Camaro SS with my 18 GT at that track, all ya gotta do is show up and be bone stock..

What happened was real simple. Ford took forever to come out with this refresh. Which led the heard to think what they want. The FIRST............The very first run that came out was Lund ripping off a what? 12.0, 11.9? Tuned. I don't care what he says, it was tuned. It wasn't stock. So, that started it. Everyone said, hell yea. Ford finally built us a 11 sec GT. Well, then the real world happened. Mag test shows it 12.6, 12,5 at best with the A10 which ties the SS M6. So, that hurt the feelings a little bit. Then the excuses came out. Tire, who was driving, blah blah blah. All the while, forgetting their new platform is up against a 3 yr old platform now that is about to get a refresh. Eh, anyways. Both sides have them. I don't give a rats ass. I have 10.46 Zl1 that I'm pleased with. But, I won't go claim that as a hero run, then run off to the McLaren forums to blast off that I can run with a 720S.

Anyhow, I'm just waiting on that 500 to drop so I can check it out. Hopefully it is what I want it to be so I can buy one. Yea, blasphemy. I know. I'd get rid of my Zl1 for a 500 any day if it's as advertised.
EXACTLY!!

Ford could have done this back in 2015. But they settled for a 435 hp (15 hp bump) GT. Then for 18 they gave it another 25 hp bump when they clearly had the tech to make it 475 instead of 460. That alone might have given them the 1/4 mile win. But Ford being Ford figured that their fans are dumbasses who will pay for bits and pieces. So here is your 460 hp GT that is slower than the SS. And a few weeks later here is your 475 HP debadged GT that we'll call a "Bullitt" and milk even more money out of you and that one still won't match even the standard 2-3 year old platform SS on a track. And guess what. We'll then put out a PP2 that more than likely STILL won't touch the SS 1LE and won't beat the SS in a quarter mile. All because the fanboys are utter idiots who will buy up anything that FOrd throws at them.

Writer for MM&FF. Says it all right there. Hotrod knew it was BS but they probably printed it to make sales.

Haha, man you're great at lying. Prove it. Find a single example of me claiming a MY18 M6 would run low 12's. Good luck chief. Put your money where your mouth is and prove where I said a stock MY18 M6 would run low 12's. If you do, I'll quit this forum. Good luck Bro.

To go further. GM had the tech to go DFI for the 16 MY. You think Ford didn't have it for the year earlier (2015 Mustangs) when it was in the EBs? WHy didn't Ford go ahead and put it in the GT? Because they milked the fans and figured they'd give them a slight boost so they could say "ooh, my heavier 2015 GT has an extra 15 HP which is 9 HP more than the 15 SS". Although it was the same performance in the quarter mile despite the magical bump. And also because they wanted to keep costs down so cheap ass MFers could buy lackluster GTs after being turned down for the better performing SS. So now they finally decide to throw DFI and up the CR and other things (which costs money) to the GT because sales alone aren't going to matter when the GT keeps getting slain by the SS. And the price goes up. And it still loses. So here comes the Bullitt a few months after the GT. Because they knew good and well that the GT would not beat the SS in the quarter mile. They had that Bullitt engine for a while now. But. Milk more money out of the idiots. Make them pay for that extra 15 hp on a PP1 platform. So now to get a GT that matches the SS you gotta pay Bullitt money and that is just for straight line performance. The Bullitt will get destroyed on a track. And then take 2 years to come up with something to answer to the ZL1 and the fanboys will hoot and holler instead of wondering WTF they didn't do this sooner. They had DFI and boost tech down already. Why not do this in 2015 or 2016 instead of the GT350 and GT350R which both got their asseskicked spectacularly? Because they continue to milk these guys out of their money. GT. Then the GT PP. Then the Bullit. Then the GT PP2. And then the GT500. All years late. WTF?

Huh? Pretty much every major publication uses YouTube to publish video content. Are you referring specifically to YouTube 'professionals'?

also

How's that saying go, "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck quacks like a duck it must be a duck?" People on this forum admit the car has bad/poor visibility, most of the automotive forum community says it has bad visibility and every review mentions the visibility is bad. Hell AL O himself even acknowleged its bad, but when designing the car didn't want to sacrifice styling to improve it
I heard about the visibility issues before I test drove the car. I found it to be a non-factor... for me. The side windows are long enough for me to look back at blind spots, the a-pillars are thinner than my Volt's, the rear window is only good for a peak (which is all you would really do anyways). The biggest drawbacks would be backing up (if the car didn't come with a backup camera) and the rear b-c pillars.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this one does all the talking. I cross shopped the Mustang vs the Camaro. I tend to agree with your opinion. In the Mustang you sit as if you would in almost any other car, higher, more upright, which isn't necessarily bad. In the Camaro, the seating position is lower, and gives it more of a sport car feel. And to your point, part of the reason I liked the Camaro, is because of the cockpit. I've even commented to my wife that I feel like I'm sitting in a space ship when I'm in the Camaro. However, that is specifically what I was looking for. Most people will find the Mustang more livable because it's easier to get in and out of, and has somewhat more space. I just valued the performance metrics more in my search, others may not.

That's understandable. Then what are you doing on a Camaro forum?

The quote that was referenced was in response to Lund’s A10 run. It’s crazy some of you don’t understand the difference between a manual and auto transmission.
