For the most part, I've seen far more mustang forums talking crap about us and GM/Chevy than what goes on here.
The dragstrip is, and always has been, about power to weight. Any car can be made to hook up. Anybody who thought the ZL1 would beat the Mustang in a stock for stock drag race is an idiot. The jury is still out in an "all in" track comparison between these two cars. We will have to wait and see. Stock v Stock Dragstrip clearly goes to the Mustang, as it should.
