You make it sound like you could remove the spare and jack, throw on a cai and tune, and run 10's on street tires. Good luck with that.
If you want to call it a simple bolt on car running 10's then go ahead. That doesnt make you any different from about 2 or 3 new BS posts I see form day to day on this site.
And yes...we have seen it 1000 times. We get to see the video posted up by a mustang guy about every day or so LOL.
An ls1 f-body has gone 9.8 NA (heads and cam stock bottom end) with an old push rod motor designed in 1996.
If the car cant go to the 9's with head and cam work with stock bottom end that wont be anything to write home about.
You may not think so but some of us have actually kept up on the claims evolution has been making. I know what the car has run and which mods (that they tell us) it has had every step of the way.

Do I sense some angry undertones? I believe I do. Hey fact of the matter is, it'll run 10's without even turning a bolt on the motor.
And you know what we can sit here and talk 1/4 mile times all day. We can talk about stock for stock, which the Mustang wins. We can talk about mod for mod which we have yet to see which car wins.
Fact of the matter is at the end of the day the Mustang is a better car. It may not have always been the fastest car, but it has always been the BETTER car. Better engineered, better designed, better looking, better interior, better to drive, better to own, easier to maintain, more aftermarket options, a better community. Just plain better.
You can throw any angle you want at us, you can say how good the Camaro is at this, and how good the motor is, etc. The fact of the matter is it's just not a better car.
The Mustang is THE original classic American Muscle car. Something that GM couldn't truly follow up with the Camaro, even in '69.
With over 9 million of them sold I guess you really can't argue that point now can you?
EDIT: Almost forgot, the Mustang is better sounding too.
