Yea because those times are very real world. The car is out for a couple days and you guys think these are the times that the real car guys are going to run with them. Come on USMC, I thought you were less of a blind fan boy than this.

JD you know me i like starting ****... we both know they'll be running 12.6's and 12.7's as soon as real driver get a hold and then when the best grab some up they'll be kicking down 12.4's and 12.5's
but for all **** starting purposes they're only a 13.2 and 12.9 car right now :P

Strange the A6 numbers on the V8 are worse than previously posted...

The manual numbers are damn strong... going to be some upsets on the streets this summer.

Edit: NM Found it.... That website is painful to navigate at best...

From the comments page of Motor Trend first look:

"Why would you even buy a mustang GT. The base camaro has more power, better economy, and is loads cheaper. And a V8 camaro will melt the stang for about the same price. Camaro will defiantly rule the V6 area. Camaro SS is probably just as good as the challenger SRT8. And Z28 will be underfeatable".

Underfeatable (I think he meant undefeatable)... undefeatable, wow.
I guess we shouldn't even TRY to be as fast as a new camaro. The fanboy wars are heatin' up!

A comment like that makes me wonder if the poster has ever bought a car. I'm assuming that wasn't from the authors of motor trend...hopefully.

Lol, no it was from the public comment section. Sounds a lot like LS1Tech's forums over there. Check this one out:

"Finally GM will show all the Mustang asshats that Ford aint *** and couldn't design/build a decent car if thier life depended on it. Hopefully those losers will get a clue and abandon that piece of crap in droves.

Mustangs are for losers that cant handle a civic running on 1 cylinder"

Well now would be the perfect time for ford to drop the Hurricane V8 6.2L in the GT500 and the 5.0 Coyote in the GT and the Ecoboost into the V6 to squash this whole Camaro thing before it gets out of hand =) haha.
