As for this being the best Mustang 1/4 mile time, don't assume it will stay that way. I said it before and I'll say it again here, one of the major auto rags is going to knock down a 12.6 in this car and Evan Smith is going to go much, much faster than that.
Or they couldn't get the Camaro to hook up. There was a lot of banter on this board about the Mustang potentially 'having problems hooking up', but the reality seems to be the exact opposite.
That isn't going to change the status quo at this point. No magazine of any ilk has ever gotten a 12.7 from the Camaro SS, and as far as I know only two private owners have ever met or beaten that time.
Unless Chevy does something with the 2011 Camaro SS it's pretty obvious the Mustang is going to be a couple of tenths faster at least.

The Camaro's problem of hooking up can be solved by a little mod called the driver. ET shows the driver's ability to launch, while MPH shows the car's potential. ET obviously told who won the race, but with selected, relatively unexperienced drivers (who are the biggest part of rather a car beats another) any of these three cars can beat one another. Put someone like nhra stocker in there... and I'm very sure you'd see a matched time.
Before the random mustang fans get defensive, I'll conciete in saying this new 2011 GT is in fact faster than the 2010 SS, but let's wait until an actual 2011 MY Magazine comparison at least before throwing up the "I WIN!" flag. However, I'm a lot more interested in what the GT will manage to do in the hands of a good driver, just to see how much potential these mainstream autowriters managed to tap out.
