I'll ask it again, have you actually seen your own posts?
According to a press release from the General himself......
3750 / 1705 – LT w/ automatic
3741 / 1700 – LT w/ manual
3769 / 1713 – LS w/ automatic
3780 / 1718 – LS w/ manual
3913 / 1779 – SS w/ automatic
3860 / 1755 – SS w/ manual
..... and I don't see where I am wrong.
Not sure I get your point here since carbon fiber and weight removal work just fine on other cars as well. None of this changes what these cars weigh in at stock.
Sounds good, but much like the issue above other cars can be modded just like the Camaro. Again, this has nothing to do with how these cars compare in stock trim.
I'm glad you have found a car you like.
I actually have a little personal experience in Grand Am Cup, and yeah....how a car performs in that series is a pretty good indication of how good the platform is. Some chassis and suspension mods are allowed, but these cars start with a stock unibody and suspension and, but for a few performance enhancements and some safety equipment, they end up rolling onto the tarmac as little more than ultra-serious, race ready versions of what you buy for the street. The series is an excellent indicator of the basic goodness of a design, and Mustang works very well.
No enforceable rules, no real sanctioning body. That is how you get automotive soap operas like the latest Porsche, Chevy, Nissan three way where everybody claims everybody else is being deceitful. The truth? My guess is that everybody who runs the ring is bending the truth to one degree or another. But I can see how times laid down at a track where the sanctioning body is effectively the honor system are ultra relevant to how one car compares to another
I have no interest in looking, and it wouldn't do me any good if I did since Ford doesn't typically use the Nurb as a testing facility. Actually, I long for the day when only the baggy-pantsed, internet fanbois worshipped all things Nurburgring....the recent GM turn toward the Ring still seems weird to me. Personally I don't get the relevance and think the Nurb is little more than a marketing ploy. There is nothing they can learn at the Ring they cannot explore in even greater depth by using tracks here in the States. Like I said, it's a marketing ploy. If it wasn't, why would they all be in such a hurry to lie about it.
