You'd be surprised the trouble they go to actually,...more like, we'd all be puzzled at the lengths they go through. Think aerial photography.

i know ford had an internal tsb looking for any evidence at all of the possibility of a tune having been done to the coyote engines. this i believe came from one of the companies providing a tune which was running #8 lean, and basically cooking that cylinder. people were reverting back to stock tunes, and taking them in for warranty work.
this is part of the reason mine isn't gonna see the dragstrip for a few years, although i will probably take the chance to road race her. if i do that, i'll have some sort of logging software installed, so there's no question that she wasn't abused on the track.

i have to disagree with the whole fifth gear1:1 slowing the car down. My car has 3.73s and revs a good bit higher then the GT. So the GT with a 3.73 rear gear and same trans with more midrange in theory should be even better then my car hitting fifth gear.
Heres a vid of me hitting fifth against ScreaminRedZ. U can hear me hit fourth and fifth from a 70 roll. and at no point does the car slow down when in fifth.
Jump to 130 in the video. 70 roll. i hit fourth then fifth and fifth doesnt slow down... if anything i start to pull harder up top. And that was with cats. This motor woke up a lot in the midrange when ditching the cats. With my rpm/gearings... fifth runs me from 120-160mph. The gearing on these cars makes up for the mustangs lack of aero next to a vette. I will say though, the boss does have a lot of under body plastic paneling to help with aero that the GTs do not.

i hadn't thought of any of them using arial photography, but with the advent of drones being deployed over the us, it only makes sense.
