So then why are you generalizing this entire community then?

This stuff goes on all the time everywhere

I’m sure Ford had that car in top notch power shape.
Just listen to the 1st-2nd shift. Chirping the tires on a stock A10? Hmmm.

Im pointing out the facts of the run

and maybe if every run of the GT lately wasn't in fact at a rental it wouldnt be mentioned as often. and as I said...some of the furd boys own medicine. its probably a lot of these guys giving back the same BS we have heard. from the ls1 days to just recently claiming GM was lying about the 6g times or they were nearly unachievable etc
Every run is a track rental because the MY18 has been trickling out to the dealerships...and has been in the hands of tuners and magazines much quicker. Time is money, and track rentals are tax write-offs.

Honesty, because it comes up by you any many others in every single one of these threads. The generalization is done because you (and others) keep on bringing it up as a caveat to the runs. It's one more thing some of you seem to be hanging on to....hoping that it somehow won't be able to be repeated on non-track rental outings.

I’m banking on it and hoping Chevy responds with a SS that can deliver similar, repeatable ETs in the 11.8s. That’s fantastic. Good job Ford!

I loved how that guy kept completely lying to everyone, say it with authority, and everyone over there believed him for years a

the SS has already done so on regular tests nights

why would it bother me when the mustang does it?

ties don't get me that excited.

and like I said every run has been this way...so it is what it is. no need to cry about facts.

what would thePill say about this rental if the Camaro did it in 2015? what would mustang6 be doing?

I remember how it was and this type of thing never never happened ...and it was WORSE. many wouldnt even accept GM estimated time LMAO. because GM the debil.

mustang 6 would wipe their ass with something like this...stop trying to act like you represent anything any better

I'm pretty sure every forum hates thepill as much as you guys. Don't go generalizing like the other forum worships him.

So.. bone stock, with a small tire pressure change at a super duper track rental in lowish DA and still slower than the hero time an SS layed down.

I can totally see this tread hitting 50 pages! lol

Ford loaned the car to Evan Smith and the track was prepped for his runs in mineshaft air!! Only thing missing was a tail wind! This car = high 11’s all day long!!
