In these instances, the cars are purely loaded up with specific paint and cool interiors, no different than the California Special GT. It's all appearance. The car itself is still the same performance car underneath. They aren't trumping up a basic car with a light HP bump and a specific package upgrade and then claiming its something it's really not.

I mean, you can buy a GT with the PP1 and throw an intake on it = Bullitt.... I mean jeez...

Meanwhile, regardless of what Camaro you buy, it's still a better car in Transformers Edition or Redline Edition or plain jane edition than the competing similar model Mustang.

That said, I hate most of these packages because they do get silly, for all manufacturers...

Grattan is only 0.4 miles longer than streets of Willow with higher average speeds, looking at lap times of same cars on these 2 tracks seems to show only a 3% time different between the two tracks. Of course there are a lot of variables at play here but if their claims of 3.5s is true, it puts PP2 and 1LE at near identical lap times

And the ZR1 just beat the Ford GT's lap time....

^ wow.

But, I think we all knew the ZR1 was going to smash the GT anyways. At least I thought that.

Your right, should be closer than I thought.

Oh boy, our Mustang friends are going to claim the Ford GT is still the better car because of the interior....

haha, nah. I like the Zr1, but my Vette days are over. Hurts my old knees getting in and out of the car. But, you never know. I'd have to see one in person, then knowing me, I'll buy one just to fkn buy one. Has to be in dark gray w/black wheels. Game over in that color combo.

No.

They'll say it's the better car because it'll hold it's value longer (as if someone who paid that much for a car would just casually sell it and not send it to a collection)

They'll say that it's a more unique car (which it is)

They'll say that it's a true race car (which..again it is)

The best part about it is everyone who defends it tooth and nail has zero chance of ever owning one.

I guess we'll have to put the Mustang fanboys and M6G on suicide watch again...

BlaqWhole · 01-31-2018, 09:36 PM

But, but, it isn't "apples to apples".
But, but, the Ford GT wasn't built for that track.
But, but, the Ford GT is more of a collector's car than a track car.
But, but, the tires on the GT had 1 mile on them.
But, but, it was a different day.
But, but (sniffle)...
