Look, I'm not taking away from the fact that fbodies have done it and they are an extremely impressive platform that KILLED the mustang for years, you are just making a statement that insinuates this achievement is eclipsed even by the ls1 f-bodies, which is just untrue. What do you think this car would have run at 2650 lb race weight with a super loose stalled auto, because that's what it took for the first bolt on f-body to do it along with many, MANY more bolt ons than this mustang is equipped with. Like I said, I'm just keeping the facts straight.

i appreciate that.
