I would love a back to back testing with the same tires on the same day. Anyone looking to track their vehicle is going to put on the best tire allowed by class. Tires my an enormous difference. I don't care about bragging rights, I would just like some data that actually tells me something. |

Because they're similar in price and the fastest each company has to offer. Makes sense to me.

If Ford folks can't fairly compare the run where the GTPP was .10 faster than the 1LE, then Chevy folks can't compare a V6 1LE to a GTPP. |

It really doesn't matter, though - the fact that a V6 Camaro is now legitimately within the performance window of the Mustang V8 GTPP is a loss for Ford, even if the Mustang comes out on top during a same day comparison.

The 2010 V6 was "within the performance window" of the 2010 Mustang GT with the old 4.6 3V..in the real world, with average drivers, it wasn't that close. I'm not knocking the V6 1LE, it's a great bargain and really sets the bar for non-V6 performance packages. However, that being said, I also can see where someone will get a V6 1LE, get cleaned up by a GTPP, and then be completely confused because "the LL said the LT 1LE was faster!?" |

I think people are underestimating what a good set of tires really does for a vehicle. |

One of the incredible things is that the 1LE is so Feared and Iconic that it is considered it's own model. And it is just a suspension option code.
1LE drives Ford guys bonkers, they have nothing like it. Their base V8 gets smoked by a Camaro base V8 ....and with a suspension package it embarrasses Ford and their Up Class GT350. 1LE, can't beat it for performance or price.

Given the changes to the interior it brings with it..it should be it's own trim level. |

Regardless of the year difference and driver. A GTPP is posted a lap 1.2 seconds slower than V61LE camaro the end. Proof enough to me that if it can do it once it can do it again. That being said strait line performance is a totally different story of course. Interesting that the GT350R was 3.0 seconds quicker than the V81LE at VIR but around 1.4seconds est quicker at Laguna Seca. also note that the GT350R & V81LE are quicker than last gen Z/28 at Laguna seca....all the while neither the GT350R nor V81LE beat the Z/28s VIR LAP
