Never said that. We’ll see.

Don't forget Edmunds

But seriously, it's funny that there have been far more low low 12 runs than mid 12's...yet some seem to be gripping on to the mid 12 narrative.

Where can I purchase some of these Ford blinders so I can put myself in the mind of a Ford fan?

See how easy it is to pick and choose the results you want to acknowledge.

Watch the video and listen at the 4 min mark and tell me there testing was the same as there mustang GT testing with Evans.

Exactly. Newmoon is cherry picking to be a troll

Transcript from the video. Time mark 4:00

Jeff Lutz: I’ll bet ya I put 50 laps on that car. Cars are stellar cars. To drive off the show room floor and do what we did all day here.

Woman: And we did it all day! Like we never stopped! We never let them cool off. It was very unscientific. This is not how you test cars.

Jeff Lutz: No. We hot lapped them. AC on, AC off. It didn’t matter.

I did in fact spend mostly all day testing the car in stock trim. Why? I tested launch rpm and the car required a minimum of 30 minutes of cool down for it to maintain peak performance.

The two SS Camaro's tested were given to Hot Rod as part of the "Finding New Roads" media event where they drew keys and then went on a 1500 mile road trip. They signed an agreement that they wouldn't race and later got it waved.

I can't believe some of you are eluding to this as an excuse still.

Hmmm...wasn't Evans run in MM&FF?

You mean that none of us in here cares about and none of us in here are impressed by.

It's even funnier that you're still looking for a car.

He's a freelance editor, so it looks like HotRod paid to have the story on their site too.

So the "pro" didn't go fastest? Unpossible.

These two events are like comparing apples and oranges. Smith went to run better than 11.9, the fastest Camaro on this list. Lutz and crew were effing around and they say so in the video.

Smith hero run
Gillogly run has been bested by the majority of drivers that have run on a track.

Time will tell the story. Enjoy the moment.

Let's all stop feeding these 3 trolls, and let the owner results shut them out when people actually start racing their '18's.

I'd like to see Newmoon comment regarding the differences in technique, etc on these two events.

I'd also like to see his prediction of what the average GT, A10, PP, Michelin PS, 3:55, Drag Race Mode car will run. It must be "deep" 11s given how he threw his weight behind the Smith pass
