Cute. I get it man these threads are all over the place. I'm just trying to organize all the info in the first post of this thread so it can be found easier.

So many of your posts are negative, taking a stab at someone or something, complaining, bitching, etc....if you don't like it here on this forum, go post elsewhere. You never used to come off like this man...

Lol at the butthurt AMG guy in the article comment section. Guy is convinced the 1LE wasn't stock.

[FNxR3DNECK]

pretty sure we have the GTR time as well from the H2H with the NSX.

I hate to sound dumb but that 1LE did not sound as healthy as the one in the C&D LL. It's almost like it wasn't breathing as well or it used 91 rather than 93 octane. Does not sound as robust and free revving to me.

Different microphone placement most likely. OR they may not have had the NPP fully open (I hope this isn't the case).

EDIT, come to think of it LS is in Cali, they don't have 93, just 91...but they may have gotten 93 at the track.

Different tracks IMO.....LL was higher speed, and a longer lap time.....Randy mentioned he did the whole LS track mostly in third gear, and with relatively low rpms....

Nothing wrong with that, but they will sound different....

Thanks for doing this. I've been waiting for a complete thread on this topic.

That is not an AMG guy, that is the Pill. He knows that if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes like fact. So, he goes to every board and brings up a bunch of tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories to try to convince everyone that the Camaro does not perform as well as it clearly does. If you know you are wrong, you have to use these types of tactics (sowing doubt about the truth (Chevy brought a ringer), disparaging the reputation of those who bring the truth (the magazines are biased), etc...). These are all well known political tactics to intentionally mis-educate folks, again, because the person doing it knows that they can't use the truth, as the truth proves their enemies as correct.

I choose the truth. It is better to be right than be wrong while being a d*ck about it.
