Ok, just wanted to know your reasoning. Just one more question on this and i'll leave it be. Before the Z/28 was announced, what did you honestly think about the idea of a 75K Camaro?

Look, sparky, the SVT isn't here, yet. The Gen-6 Mustang has not been reported on, so how can you ASSUME that anything involving a Gen-6 Mustang is going to "destroy" an unseen-untried-untested Alpha-based Gen-6 Camaro??? That's a HELL of a s-t-r-e-t-c-h for even the MOST dandy of Dearborn Dandies to actually BELIEVE...

And I said my posts were in the hypothetical what if land. If you thought I was trying to be serious as to what I believed than my bad, just hypothetical bench racing here haha

you brought up how YOU didn't think Ford/SVT could build a mustang to compete with (I am assuming you meant a LT4 derived ZL1 that also does not exist yet), without it entering Z06 price territory....which is why I brought up the hypothetical what if they did target the Z06(which both agreed on would put Mustang at a super high price point) Now I think we both can agree that a Z06 would destroy a 6th Gen ZL1 in just about every measurable performance stat. Wouldn't a mustang built to chase down the Z06 then in theory (bc we are in hypothetical what if world) also have to be superior to the ZL1 in order to come close to the Z06.




See above...and stop reading-believing "the jagged one's" drivel...



Sounds like the playbook used for the BOSS....that ALMOST succeeded in beating the 1LE...

You mean that 1LE that came out AFTER the BOSS. Thats a tip of the cap to GM, they saw an opportunity to take it to Ford and they did. They did it with a faster car for less money.

On a side note, we know that there are tracks that the 1LE is clearly faster than the BOSS 302LS...why can I not find 1 time for the 1LE on Laguna Seca. I like knowing that tracks time, bc motortrend normally does a pretty good write up with Randy Probst doing pretty honest reviews of how each car handles. Has no one taken a 1LE around Laguna Seca?


To conquer the ZL1...and the Z06...and the Z07...

I've used this word before... REALLY?!

Wish 'em luck from me, will ya? And when you get production green lights and final pricing for those, could you bring that info back here, too?

Again, I tried to preface this all as hypothetical. I didn't try to make this seem like me saying Ford will do this or will do that or can do this. I was just doing hypothetical bench racing (slow day at the office)

Thanks.
Responses in red. Again, none of my responses were supposed to be taken as what I seriously thought Ford would do. Thought we were in the land of "what if"
