Fair enough, I'm still skeptical that a stock Camaro can run 12.5's, especially since I've known a couple of the guys who have put up miraculous 'stock' C5 and C6 times and have a deeper understanding of how that all went down, but I tend to keep things like that to myself for the sake of politeness. No need to start hurling insults here since we don't really know each other. We all have our opinions.

Now that argument has some meat on it's bones. Weather may have been perfect for those runs, but I seriously doubt it unless they were testing in Florida. (seriously)

All you can give so far is speculation and hope.

What am I hoping for? Worst case scenario on it's first day in the hands of the major auto rags the Mustang GT ran a better time than any of them have ever managed with a Camaro SS. The future can only make things better for me since we can't un-do the 12.8 second run. It may not get better, but I doubt it.

Was I? I genuinely don't recall that. And as for the GT not spanking the SS, the only measure left is for the new GT to throw another couple of tenths on the acceleration advantage to make it a very clear win in every respect since handling numbers are extremely one-sided in this comparison.
