They produced the S197 that led to the resurrection of the Challenger and Camaro models? They introduced the first GT500 since the â70âs? Ford sold a lot more Mustangs?
Again, I never made a declarative statement one way or another. Because I questioned your opinion based on disparate data you compiled from various sources does not mean I expect any given outcome.
You, on the other hand, have cleverly made record of the fact that the ZL1 1LE "might" or...
I read the entire post I quoted you from. On one hand you want to extrapolate ZL1 1LE superiority at track based on various data sources but when someone suggests that the CFTP will outperform it in the same venue, you declare that itâs just speculation, as no head-to-head rest of them, by...
What led you to believe I was angry? I was actually seeking your opinion on why anyone would buy a GT500 over a ZL1, given the similar performance but big price disparity. If that made you feel attacked and that you needed to go on the defensive, I apologize.
In my experience, working...
So, after pages and pages of discussion, what is your explanation as to why anyone would be buying a GT500, CFTP or base? it's not just "Mustang fanboys" buying these cars. They might be a majority, but not the only ones.
You and blaq on the other forum keep making the cost/performance...
Nobody in their right mind is going to autocross a GT500, so thatâs a moot point. There are some who feel that if the GT500 does not significantly outperform the ZL1 1LE on both technical track and those with long straights, it is somehow a failure. Simply not true.
I think the ZL1 1LE and CFTP GT500 will be pretty close, too. Primarily because the 1LE was engineered to put down the very best lap times while the GT500 is engineered to be a grand tourer. The 1LE can be driven on the street, obviously, but it will never be as comfortable in that venue as...
And some , cough *hotlapâ cough, even encourage him. I guess when youâre an old fart whoâs extent of spirited driving in the last 20 years is going to the store and back in your Hotwheels edition Camaro, you have to live vicariously through another. I think the only reason he likes blaq is...
I drove my GT350R with its Cup2âs many times in temps below 40 degrees, parking outside for hours at a time, and never saw any signs of cracking/damage. Not saying it couldnât happen, I just never experienced it.
I know, right? Instead of enjoying the car(s) they bought, they're too busy trying to convince other people why they were stupid to buy something other than the vehicle they chose and all the reasons that led to them making that purchase assuming everyone has the same priorities as they do.
They already lost. People are already passing over the Camaro for other choices. If the ZL1 1LE loses to the GT500 in a comparison, they wonât sell more of them. They might if they beat a GT500 CFTP.
By the way, it is lose, not loose.
Yes, Ford can absolutely refuse to supply a test car, but Ford is not the only source to obtain one. Maybe itâs GM that wonât offer up a ZL1 1LE for such a comparison!
There is no doubt that Chevy wins the performance-for-dollar argument. But having the upper hand in that argument is not helping them sell cars. I think thatâs what rubs so many Camaro fans the wrong way; despite a worse performance/dollar ratio, the demand for the Mustang, specifically the...
Because I donât own a Camaro and would be inevitably be labeled a troll by not marching in lockstep with any given topic related to the Mustang/Camaro rivalry. Besides, I would poke so many holes in blaq's diatribes/logic that he would blow a gasket or need medical attention. I don't want to...
Would someone please let the folks over at the C6 Camaro site know that Ford has no control over what vehicles a publisher chooses to compare for an article/blog. Ford does not reach out to Motor Trend or C&D to say, "we don't want to you to compare the GT500 to _______. It's not a...
