I am curious now, what is the truth about the 2018+ GT vs the SS? Serious question.

The truth which I had posted, and Idaho2018 had obviously objected to, was that the 2018+ 5.0 Mustangs with the A10 trans were still not quite as quick as the auto trans 2016+ Camaro SS in the 1/4 mile.

I'm not on here much anymore so I don't know much about Idaho but your post reminds me of the OG days when New Moon was doing the same thing lol. That goof kept taking about Jeff Lutz making a 12.3 ?? pass in Texas...and because he was a professional driver, nobody could do better.
The icing on that cake was when people were pointing him to our Fast List and he said we were ALL secretly communicating and modding our cars and not telling anyone outside the forum... I'm lol'ing as I'm typing, can't make that stuff up. The denial was strong with that cat.

That guy was full of it. You would present him with facts that destroyed his argument and he would just go silent until the next time he talked out of his you know what.

A lot of these guys also pick and chose stats, slowest Camaro test vs fastest mustang test like people won't catch on and correct them.
