LoL at the crying going on from the 6th gen camp. They're cars people, some of you act like you'll die if the performance doesn't go your way. PS, gt350 would pull a W over 6th gen as well.

I'm actually amazed the GT350R performed how it did. Only 2 tenths faster than the 6G... I expected more tbh though... Not trolling or anything, but looks like the GT350 and 6G would be a good run.

With 70 more hp, turning carbon wheels at a lower curb weight it manages less than 5 mph more?
Why should anyone be impressed with that? other than being a mustang fan?
What does it deserve? What has it accomplished on the drag strip that deserves such high praise? Im not following...
and yet the 6g out traps the gt by 4-5 mph and beats it in et by a half second...at a 4k starting price difference. And wallops it on a road course. with only 20 more hp and similar weight. that deserves praise imo
wow...that really sounds bad...

You kiss your mother with that mouth?
So now the car runs as it should beating the Camaro but before it was turd that couldn't match its hp claim in real time performance. All this flip flopping y'all like to do got to stop.
I'm not asking anybody to do anything. I just see an awful lot of hate against a mean machine. Ford or not.
THAT is y'all problem, not mine or the gt350's.
It deserves no extra credit for what its doing.

Oh i dig the gt350s. But it doesn't matter if it's not in a affordable package. Essentially the 1le out handles the gt350 and matches the R in handling......with lesser tires on it. For the 40k difference in price i can surely make up that .2

I said its runs slower than it should. Low 12s and 526hp is "mean machine". Ok....
It doesn't match its hp claim in real time performance. Especially without the carbon wheels and 100lbs stripped out. Will be trapping ~116. Which they have. You cant tell me that's great looking at all the numbers etc
Cool car and handles damn good. But im not impressed by its 1/4 prowess. Same for the z28. But at least that was a pig on an outdated chassis.

Well you must really like the Cobrojet then, the Copo too.
Any joe blow can buy a pony stick car and throw on a set of qtp's and e/t a little something.

Not impressed with its 1/4 performance.
That includes the trap speed. As i stated before. they were all on the same surface. The r has stickier tires than the 1le. Not sure why you complaining about spinning. and spinning more can sometimes help the trap.
If you would look into it the car just isn't made for the 1/4. It makes very little torque till around 4k. Drivers are forced to either blow the tires off or bog out. But even tests with aggressive tires have proven to be less than impressive. I still has not matched what the 6g has done stock on a drag pack.
again...how does 70 hp. less weight. and turning carbon wheels. for less than 5mph = impressive? it just doesn't...I don't care what badge is on it. It should be a consistent 120+ trap car. Which a lot of the mustang community seems to agree with. You are one of the few trying to hail it as a 1/4 monster. it is not. from any angle.

AGAIN, all I'll say is I see a lot of hate on the car. Not how you perceive it but from the untapped potential that is there. If you've seen someone make some good passes on a bias ply with one please share I'd love to see it.

I made the same point in a previous debate about tires and you didn't want to hear it.
So you base your interests on 60fts? From oe circuit built cars at that.

Woah buddy, you got me all wrong.none of these cars are 1/4 monsters. That one up there in my sig is. All these small block cranks don't weigh enough for that if you catch my drift.

here is a standard 350 on mickey Thomson DR at cecil in cold weather. it also had "unspecified" suspension mods.
it traps 116. and eeks out an 11.96.
That would not hold up to a stock a8 6g with a tire on that track in those conditions. an m6 could run with it too im sure with equal driving.

Doug my man, regardless the outcome the same point your trying to make now was my valid point that was ignored. Doesn't make it acceptable now just because you're saying it.
Havent seen any on bias ply.

The A8 camaro's do make efficient passes. They have a butt load of gearing and a tight converter. The mt-82 gt's and the gt350 are a different kind of animal.
Any good results coming from the 6g manuals?

I've never seen it but to put a large diameter wheel drag radial on this car and think your going to cut some 60fts is a fairy tale.
