What I've seen on the internets is stock vs stock the camero pulls a length or two up to 100-110 mph then the mustang either stops the pull or maybe slightly pulls back a touch

If the GT manages a win then it still won't really matter nor will it upset any of us in the slightest. Especially since it took a mid-Generation extreme makeover like we've never seen Ford do before just to become competitive. If Ford was really that great then all of this we're seeing the GT doing now should have been done in December of 2014 for the 2015 MY launch of the S550.
You're wrong here.

The 4th Generation Mustang (SN95 1994-2004) had a mid cycle refresh for 1999 which included revised exteriors as well as modifications to the 4.62V (Non-PI to PI) which added around 20 HP and was a torque bump.

The biggest mid-generation refresh was the 2009-2010, which brought around totally new exterior sheet metal, suspension, brakes, etc. In 2011, in the same generation, the 5.0 replaced the 4.6 and the 3.7 replaced the 4.0.

Ford is much more aggressive and always has been in updating the Mustang with new exteriors and power trains than GM, going back to the beginning.

I have 8 or 10 videos of me beating 6th gen Camaros at the drag strip. Doesn't mean much. Hell I have a few videos of me beating Z06s. Doesn't mean I have the faster car.

I can only present the facts. If the car would have run 12.0, or 12.3, that how the story would have been presented. Just because someone has a 2018 Mustang and a drag strip doesn't guarantee good numbers. Perhaps others who have tested one did not have the same weather or track conditions as I had, perhaps they didn't do a good burnout, or stage it as shallow, or launch it the same. The reality is the car ran 11.83 at 119.51 mph. Would it do that in 1,000 feet corrected air? Not a chance. Also, forgetting the DA, I had 30.1 baro, incredibly low humidity (26%, which rarely happens in FL), 57-62 degrees, plus a slight tailwind. The following day it was 75 degrees with 69 percent humidity.

Anyone who truly understands drag racing, knows the role weather plays. They also understand the importance of knowing the car and knowing how to get the most out of it. Personally, I think both cars are great and would love to test a new Camaro.

I love the bench racers in here. They think they know stuff....but they really don’t know shit.


Carry on, this entertainment isn’t horrible.

This all seems very carefully planned out as a marketing tactic. And it works. Heck it even worked for our forum here considering that C6 is now probably the most popular forum on the internet...considering all the trolls coming in and all of M6G watching what we say and flooding other social media sites with quotes from us, lol!! So yea, I'll call it as I see it. What we're supposed to have some sort of fear of him or something? LOL, give me a break.
such an internet badass..lol

The woodwork is emptying again. They must be sending over reinforcements from the Rustang forums.

Well if he went 11.84@119 in 400 DA then like some of the other tunes cars or adjusted cars he probably run 11.4-11.5@121-122

do you truly believe that every car will run the same times in the same conditions? you believe every SS will run 11.77 given the same conditions? Every C7 Z06 is a 10.3x@134 car?
