What evidence (as opposed to opinion) do you have that this may be the case?

Team Mustang had to work hard to catch up yet Ford still managed to build the fail into each model. Blown engines, overheating, legendary MT-82, broken axles, “disconnected” suspension, etc. Good thing it has a strong aftermarket.

SMH, these idiots that find their way over here... Too bad the 19 SS is just as fast as that POS failure called the "GT350R" LMAO. $20K more expensive, 71 more HP, and it STILL can't beat the SS. How do you explain that? |

And trust me, the rest of their aftermarket has issues as well. Axles rated at 800, 1000, 1200 RWHP snapping under NA HP levels (happened to a buddy of mine), coolers blowing, transmissions blowing, you have to wait bamn near a month to get a custom tune and even then you have surging and driveability issues, and the list goes on. The reliability of their aftermarket is only marginally better than the stock parts. |

And yeah I'm just here for the entertainment and to get a reaction. I like both cars and actually considered a Camaro and test drove one. It drove great but I just preferred the Mustang. |

Then what you said was deliberately misleading which is typical of you Mustang guys. It was the exact same amount of time as the Mustang. 15,16,17 for the GT...16,17,18 for the SS. 3MYs that they both went unchanged. And you're completely incorrect because the A10 SS just closed the gap which was already a driver's race to now being not even worth mentioning. And all it needed was the A10 trans. The POS GT needed the trans, a completely redesigned engine, drag mode, and different tires. And even then it took multiple runs before they were getting a good time out of it and that was in ideal conditions. So if you're gonna troll, then at least do it the right way. The GT even now is still a failure. It's just a faster failure with 4 extra gears and a heftier price tag than it was before. Congrats on buying one.

From what I've seen most of the Camaro guys have been using PD blowers and I think that is the wrong approach. I'm glad to see you're gonna try a Procharger as I think they will blow the PDs away once tuned properly. I would love to see your numbers once all is said and done. If I do any significant upgrades then it will be a Procharger as well. The Z06 guys have been getting over 800 HP to the wheels with Prochargers for a while now. That is much better than they're getting with Whipple and other PD blowers. |

When I'm at the track, depending on the car and what is done to it, I set a goal for myself. And the only cars that ever let me down at the track was my 03 GT and my 15 GT. So yes. From a dig I can do fairly well when I want to. I don't like to beat on my cars so it isn't often that I go and when I do I don't care to wring out the best time I can get. But I've done pretty well in the past.

Yes he ran 11:80s in his 650 hp ZL1 without even trying.
