There's not a whole lot of weight difference between the m6 and a8 in the 6th gen. It will definitely be closer than SS to GT PP1 for sure.

Incorrect, you are so wrong its funny. Thanks for the laugh.

He resorted to "no you're wrong" if though I clearly stated we simply have a difference of opinion. THAT is "talibanism" as you so strangely put it.

Um, the 1LE is heavier than the basic 1SS. Wheels and tires, brakes, thicker sways, etc. That stuff is not free.

100% wrong here. Camaro owners were complaining that the 350R had an unfair advantage with its carbon fiber wheels. Tires have been a complaint on comparisons with every matchup that comes out.

I guarantee if the PP2 keeps up or beats the 1LE, owners here are going to pull the tire card like gangbusters.

They must have forgot to install something.

100% subjective, nice try FF.
Who in their right mind would compare the current flagship Crustang to a SS? LOL.

Do we know if the SS 1LE is a 1SS or 2SS in the MT head2head?

Also, all magazine weights are with a full fuel tank (even if the SS has a bigger tank). So if you are comparing your car with partial tank, that's not apples to apples.

The 1LE package adds about 75 lb onto a base 1SS.

He stated his had a 1/4 tank of fuel. Magazines weigh cars with full fuel tank.

Good point on fuel levels. Won't know but they can use a 2SS one if they use a Premium GT. Both add about the same weight. I can't find the difference in the tremec and a8 but it's probably 25lbs. Bottom line there is a hundred pound weight difference. That's not a wash is all I'm saying. And if you compare a 1SS with its true competition the GT PP1, the difference is closer to 200lbs.

So is it a Crustang, Rustang, or a Mustang? It's so hard to have a constructive conversation with someone who has an intellectual disability.

My favorite part about the 5.0 (feminine engine?) vs LT1 (truck engine?) vs 392 (boat engine?) is at least it doesn't have AFM/DoD/MDS or whatever the manufacturer wants to call it.

Keeps up for how long? 1 lap? Maybe 2 in December because it has no cooling? A car designed in secret during off duty time beating a 1LE is laughable. If you think 305 Cup 2s a 26 pounds of downforce spoiler and "police" brakes is all the GT needs to keep up with the 1LE then you guys are drunk off unicorn piss.

A+ comeback. Right on par for what I would expect from you.

Did you want to talk about cars or push your elitism?
