but reguardless, who races to 120+? those speeds are not attainable in stock form in either car at the track

Yep...the motor trend test where they nearly matched what Evan Smith could do in a new GT. He only ran a 12.69.
It is obvious the motor trend test got every last ounce from the GT (for a mag review). But yet they ran .2 tenths slower in the camaro than what they have done before.
But then yet again the Car and Driver test is skewed toward the camaro.
All I am saying is that it would be pretty hard for them to be off by almost 2 seconds. How hard is it to hold the gas pedal to the floor after the car is shifted into 4th or 5th gear (depending on which car) It is a safe bet to say the camaro may have a slight advantage to 130mph. Even in the motor trend video you can see the camaro gaining ground approaching the 1/4 mile mark. (which btw the camaro ran a 12.9 in that run to the stangs 12.8...but they decided not to publish that)
And who races to 130?....most street races on the highway go further than a 1/4 mile. And most races are from a roll. Usually 120-135 from my experience. 98% of bragging rights with these cars will be earned via highway street races.
