I look upon it as an opportunity to educate.
As far as acceleration, of course it is ridiculous to think that the 2011 GT is going to be capable of low 12 second quarter miles like the GT500, and I never suggested the same. That said, it will be a rock solid high 12 second car that laps some tracks as fast or faster than the outgoing 2010 GT500.

Basics of design, an OHV engine simply cannot rev as high as an OHC piece without encountering valve float.

But for 2011 you don't, since those parts come standard on the Mustang GT now. Of course, the truth is that it was a ridiculous argument in the first place but I digress.
