It's being compared by one person on a public internet forum. Who gives a ****? You and that other cry baby. It's not like Ford as a company is making a press conference about comparing the two.
Not to mention the fact that he did compare Ford's best n/a car to almost a decade old Corvette should be a complement. So wipe those eyes and throw those tissues away you two bowtie wearing sissy boys.

No ****.
I'm not crying, I was just making a comment on a public forum. Continue on MR king of SRK.

Taken from modularfords:
Car is totally stock except for the DR's and 110 unleaded in the tank that day.
We also dyno'd the car two days before it ran that number but it had 87 octane in the tank. Still made 390 at the tire SAE. Customer thought since the owners manual said it could run 87 that it was ok on the Red key as well, he now knows better. LOL
He will be taking it back to the track this weekend on a full slick.
You can hear it spinning the DR's im guessing it will pickup a tenth or 2 with full slicks, IF the weather is as good.
And I agree the Boss paint is ugly as hell.

Engine remapping, etc.
Very fast, I wonder if a stocker will ever hit those numbers like that again. Window sticker is on purpose, my guess is a little bit of weight reduction. Not hating, just a little speculation. Why bother with 110oct when the stock computer won't recognize anything higher than 93, is that correct?

Don't like the color scheme either, but you can buy them plain, so that is not an issue. The car is impressive in its performance. It's like a mild heads/cam 4th gen, but with a warranty. That's cool. Chevy will answer I'm sure and we will all benefit.
im scared lol jk...cmon we need the z28 I am sure chevy has something waiting to be unleased on ford..

The only weight reduction I would think of, is the lighter weight of the drag wheels compared to the stock ones. The 12.26 stock time sounds dead on for what a 2011 GT should run with ~30-40 more hp.

The stang is real guys. Motor trend ran a 12.3 at 115 mph in one. So yea a few actual owners will touch 11.9's at 116-118 mph in those cars stock within 6 months.
Basically it is just as fast as a LS3 vette.
Wake the F up chevy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do we have to spend
50-65K on a corvette to trap 117 mph
65K on a CTSV to trap 117 mph
75K on a Z06 to trap 125 mph
110K on a ZR1 to trap 130 mph
40k camaroSS to trap 111 mph
What happenned to the good old days like back in 1998 when 27K got you a camaro with an underrated 350 crank HP that could run door to door with 45K corvettes and beat 30K cobras,50K porshes ect.
Now 40K gets you a slow car from Chevy
For what...30 somthing K you can get a 12.7 at 113 mph mustang or for 40 somthingK get a 12.3 at 117 mph BOSS.
I love this board but chevy is really pissing me off with these 2010 13.0 second camaros! Go Big or just roll over and die and let Ford Hump away.
Found On the side of the Road Dead my a$$. Alive and beating the hell out of us
