Anyway, the side effect of those "laps and adjustments" you seem to be knocking is a better handling car for the end buyer, which is a worthy goal no matter what the final time was. |
I agree with everything, but the bold. Seems a little impatient. Ford JUST released the basic specs of the '13 GT500. They haven't released 0-60 or 1/4 mile times and they have for the previous gt500s. It may be a little premature to say they're not going to lap the 'ring. They haven't released a lap time yet, but that doesn't mean they won't. It's not like Ford is in a rush to not lose sales, neither car is even in showrooms yet.
