Hey cman.....i thought trap speed didn't matter.

Funniest thing i found was that the 1le beat that same red z28 at laguna by .1 but lost out to a proper z28 at vir by 3 sec........hhhmmm. Seems like my theory about that red z28 at chuchwalllalala holds true.


Good to see 2 great american pony cars in the top 5!
Thats for sure a hell of a group of cars for Merica to place like it did.

Any idiot who buy ANY car for $1 over MSRP deserves the assraping. When I think/talk cars... I don't consider anything over MSRP.

Ultraz-. I see you have conformed quickly to the Hio crew. Im sorry to hear that. I believe it was 4.7 mph faster. Doug gets super upset when you round up but he will be very proud of you for rounding down on the Mustang.

Doug-. I never cry.... especially about a trap speed....a strong trap and high Et just shows some people can't figure how to make the setup work.

Don't mean that all. It could mean many things. To many variables to claim what you just claimed.

And yes you cry alot.

Meh.. original intent was to just troll the 2nd place and 4th place finishes. But nobody in here can really hate on either car. Especially with the competition they were up against.

can we at least all agree to hate on that M4 then? every article I see on the new M3/M4's sounds like a battered wife explaining how her husband used to be such a great guy before he started drinking...

Wish you got a chance to go to the track with me. You would have gotten a kick out of a header orx Br0 taking out ZL1s

Too bad they didn't test the Camaro SS with the A8.... That would have eliminated that .2 in ET...and maybe gained a tenth.

All are bad *** cars though.


There is a GT350R for sale here locally for $97k... ($30k over MSRP)... I couldn't believe it... Trying to trick some stupid ****** into think he is getting something special because of the insane price tag...

A sucker born every day.

I might not like the M4 enough to buy one but I respect it for what it is. I ran one in my 15 Evolution mr (bone stock) and got bussed super bad lmfao, Ran another one in my v wagon and I'm probably guessing he tried to sell it or do some heavy mods after I put several busses on him 3 different runs.

It's really no secret the gt350s can't create speed as quickly as a 6gen

Thats fairly clear based on the 5mph gap that 1LE took.

Not sure what you guys are fight over. I saw a McLaren 570 winner and a bunch of loser. Second place is just the first loser.

Remember that was the R. And in the real world the sexgen gapps it.

Motortrend must test these cars in another world. Gap is still there and the R has the same 526hp the non-R has. The R badge unfortunately doesn't increase power.

No but doesn't the R come with carbon fiber wheels making it's spun weight a lot less?

The whole car is about 100lbs lighter. Which obviously is a 5mph gap. Lol
