nobody accepts vbox #s, has to be a timeslip- ignored. 10.63/133 does not beat 10.61/133.

No production 500 has run a 10.61 "nobody accepts preproduction car numbers", and a 20hz vbox has been shown to exactly replicate ET's I have done it at the strip as have many others. And stock 991.2's have run 10.4x at the strip as well although 10.5's and 6's are much more common . Let's agree to disagree. What i think we can agree on is the on track performance is much better than anticipated given the weight and that is awesome!

there are 0 forums that allow gps based 1/4 mile times as fact. if there is show me one. too many variables for people to cheat

The C8 keeping it REAL...why does Ford not go there and see what the GT350/500 can do. Puzzling. The longer the course the more "real" times can be for a car.

Heaven forbid I break a forum rule so sacrosanct , how about these slips from ATCO then that are even faster because it’s a quick track .

GMD: I think V00D00 is running out of Mustang Koolaid and is getting a little bit crankypants

Because they do not need to do it to sell every GT500 they'll ever make. A time from the 'Ring is nothing but a marketing endeavor. There are many domestic venues that can be used for engineering/testing purposes.

Yes, thanks for clearing that up for Ford.

Sure wish Ford would enter the laptimes race. Would be a lot of fun for us. Not necessarily them though.

they already know. It whoops the c8.
But due to all the manipulation that goes on, they don’t play those games. So they don’t publish those times.

This.

so many ways to mess with virtual times.

not so much with a light, a couple physical markets, and a timer, with a bunch of bystanders as witnesses.

the facts have been revealed. The GT500 is a better sports car than the c8 and beats it in every measureable performance category.

no wonder the trolls have to come out of the swamp. They have to do whatever they can to defend their greatest hero. Can’t imagine the feeling of watching the latest greatest bully from their camp come out to pick on someone not even in their class - only to watch the underdog beat the living crap out of the bully.

Oh well. At least they can by the next Forza or whatever and upgrade their car to win.

So then Ford is chicken because everyone else beats them and they don't want to get embarrassed?

Or maybe every time Ford goes they end up l like this?

Every single C8 1/4 mile time published has been from "pre-production" cars.

its been this way since 2012 or so. They don’t play the “fudge the numbers” game that everyone else does.

so they don’t publish times, even though they test.
Even the 13 500 was faster than the zl1 at Nurburgring. But they didn’t publish. A video was discoveted after the hype that showed the 500 was faster.

Nurburgring org also says there is no true verified times.

So it’s to Fords credit.

they let the car speak for itself.

Heck, they were so confident, they let you tubers drive the thing in terrible DA with minimal instruction on how to operate the vehicle.

your “point” literally takes itself apart.

Then the whole test comparison is a scam. It means nothing except for publicity to sell magazines or weekly show subscriptions or for someone to argue over that their car is better. Not that it is faster, is that it is "better". It sounds better or looks better or smells better or it is how it makes someone "feel". Nothing to do with times. Like most of MT H2H comparisons.

I feel cheated.
