Where did you find this?! I'm so embarrassed. Need to leave the nannies on in Germany from now on.
I try to stay off that track as much as possible. Apparently your gonna wreck. No matter what you drive.

Every single C8 1/4 mile time published has been from "pre-production" cars.
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.
not sure if you’ve been keeping up over the years on this exact issue, but that’s not far from the truth unfortunately.

GT500’s are In production and in customers garages.

C8s? Production starts in February, right?

and customers driving actual production 500s are destroying the best times of the preproduction C8 times.

so...

Then you are not observant, it says what I am driving. A 2019 Silverado Z71, LTZ ,Texas Edition, 6.2L L87 425hp, BDS 4 inch lift, Borla Cat back (15hp bump), BFG KM3's 33's. Wow, how could you miss that when you read all the other stuff. It is at the top.

But I still have an opinion, you know, everyone has one, like an asshole.
No one gives a shit about your truck

Have you even owned a GT350 or above recently. Sounds like no. So you are not speaking from experience just out the side of your mouth.
Your point shows little backing especially when you can't spell. There is no word as "discoveted"
LOL. you can argue over autocorrect issues all day. You have no pints to share. I’ll let you get back to arguing autocorrect issues on a forum about Mustangs.

I find when they start correcting grammar. They’re done. Who gives AF? If every little word is typed out correctly. Or every comma and period is in its correct place. It’s the F#$kin inter webs. They get the point. This is the universal signal for the debate was lost.

You should, but that is EXACTLY what you are getting. These publishers are in the business of making money and create content that drives interest. Not unlike cable news.

Both the C8 and Gt500 are outstanding performance cars for the money. I have a C8 on order. But would cancel the order in a heart beat to buy a GT500 with the technology package at MSRP. Am still actively searching for a new 2019 Z06 for the "deal of the decade".
Isnt it great we have so many choices?

Man there are some delusional people in here. I can't even fathom why you folks are defending Ford for not participating in competition that essentially everyone has agreed to being the gold standard.

I'm pretty disappointed in GM for not posting up their zr1 times, so what if they didn't hit their mark.

The c8 times are impressive, although a gt500 would easily smash them on the ring.
