The gap is not really there. The 6gen a8 has tested as fast as the R. The R us faster than the gt350

Yup....no rear seat in the R. Basically they want to compare 1/2 a car to a full car.

That's just it. The 5mph gap ain't there with the gt350. It takes the R model to be competitive with the sexgen.

Real world 1/4 times has the sexgen covering the gt350s by atleast .3

GT350 seems to out trap the 6th gen SS though

It appears most of the rolls badbowtie Sean encountered the gt350 seemed a bit stronger at and he took it away from a dig as I expected.

350 r has proven to be .2-3 and 2-3 mph quicker than the 350 tp. It also put down 10-15 more rwhp IIRC.

100 lbs lighter and less rotating mass wheels.

It's looking like Ford is running from this test though. Can't wait till they test the TP vs the 1le. If it ever happens. Will be a dead heat in the 1/4. Slight trap to the 350. Road course 1le ftw IMO

The R in the vid Walked the 1le same day side by side get over it. Hio said it would be a good competition. But gewwww by 5mph Lol

Pretty soon they'll take the SS off the pedestal and put the zl1 up there but I won't forget all the SS is better talk. Lol again at it loosing in a head2head race from a dig where extra feminine voodoo was claimed to struggle.

It is good competition. Gt350R only won by .2 and costs alot more. In the real world the sexgen has been significantly faster.

As i said before. 1le > gt350. The new z28 will just smash the gt350r with out a doubt

Look here silly Sally,

You realize that the 350R, Ford's most elite car right now, that costs nothing south of 100k, was barely able to squeek a win over a run of the mill camaro SS (1le option) that costs 45k?

Dont be mad because the 6G completely embarases the 6G Stang. S550 5.0 = 2v of 1999.

And the 2015 SS is like the 2010 3V. Kicking yourself in the butt for not waiting.

I'd be pretty upset if I blew 60-90k on a 350 or 350r and barely was beating a base ss camero

I would be pretty upset if I bought a stalk C6z and only went low 12s in it. Looks like C6Zs are slower than GT350s and 6gens too. Hmm.

Of course not...you live in Canada. I thought you were smart? Kinda hard to see Florida from there?

I know, it's cute they follow me around from thread to thread waiting for me to reply. I think they just have an unhealthy obsession with cars I have or did own though because they seem to talk about mine more than their own...
