"Both on E85". Thats about as descriptive as saying they both have engines. You br0s just can't stop deceiving, can you?

Is there some sort of chemical in a mustangs exhaust fumes that gives the owner this overwhelming urge/addiction to deceive?

Some comments on that facebook video are saying that 6th gen is a manual.

You're likely the only br0 that was ever honest about mods on yours or your opponent's cars.

The C6Z ***** all over that and the C7Z does the same to the C6Z in the looks department. IMO.

agreed...I drove all 3 before buying a 6th gen Camaro. C7 is leagues ahead of both the C5 & C6. I was set on getting a C6Z too...everything changes when you get behind the wheel. If the C7 had more leg room, I would have one.

makes sense now because it currently looks like the A8 SS has a very slight advantage over the A10 GT imo. Also curious to see how the 18 does with boost being it has over 12:1 compression. I think the 15-17 may end up being the better platform for FI...18 better for NA.

I would think with all of that compression, anyone wanting to boost one might as well either be running E85 or high octane gasoline all of the time.

I don't think the A10 is helping as much as everyone first thought it would. ****, GM's A8 seems perfect. Add two more gears and it's almost like it hurts more than helps. Just seems like too many gears now.

I don't think that is necessarily true, just not as strong most likely power wise

A shop here in Miami just went 11.03 at 133mph with very little tuning done on a 620whp a10 GT with a P1X and cat deletes.

IMO part of the Mustang's appeal has always been it's price over the Camaro. Now that they are both similar it will be interesting to see if it sells like last years model

Boost tooning isn’t there quite yet. Kinda like LT1 tooning isn’t there yet after 4 years.

You could probably find one at the track.

No good tracks around here, Angelina Brolie.

Besides, real men race on the street, where there's more risks involved.

A10 is definitely more durable it seems so far than a8. Lots of issues with the 8l90.

I think the a8 is perfect because of the lt1’s low end torque is complimented by its gearing.
