In case you need some review, here is the definition: Talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities. Sounds a lot like my post, huh? Where did I say an 11.93 run from a stock ZL1 is unbelievable? Read my post again then ponder it for a while. Try to figure out what all those words mean together, rather than independently. Here, I'll break it down for you even further: GM does some 1/4 mile runs with and without drag radials. GM reports times for the car, says they are on stock tires. No big deal. Ford does some 1/4 mile runs with and without skinnies up front. It isn't even a question of if they ran slicks in the rear or not, they say they did. Ford reports times without the skinnies up front. BLASPHEMY, THEY ARE LYING THEY HAD SKINNIES AND THERE IS NO WAY THE 12.56 WAS WITHOUT THEM! So when Ford runs a car in two configurations and reports times, those times must absolutely be in the configuration that they did not reference. Why? Why is this true for Ford and not GM? If you don't see how biased that is then I am wasting my time. |

All your babbling to me about skinnies or no skinnies has nothing to do with anything I've said.

I only replied "in bold" to the part of your post that had anything to do with what I said. Peace

So, if the ZL1 runs 11s "stock", does that mean the GT500 is a low 11 second car or that the Hellcat is a high 10 second car?

Which is exactly how you took it out of context. I didn't say it is unbelievable that the ZL1 ran those times on stock tires, I pointed out how biased it is to assume that GM is telling the truth while simultaneously (see: and) assuming Ford is lying. Both companies ran their cars in two configurations, then reported times from the less modified configuration.

As for Ford, in this case, we're NOT assuming anything. We've simply caught them, on their own video, LYING! To YOU! Period. End of story. And YOU, if you're feeling slighted, can contact Jesse Kershaw and let HIM know. If you're NOT feeling slighted, see the previous paragragh... Thanks for your input. |

Regardless of the lies I feel bad for the mustang guys if they really do need to add those chassis parts. They've had years of the trouble free drag launches with the solid 8.8 and stock suspension. I wonder if its a flex issue that turns to wheel hop?
