[QUOTE="FordMoCo21, post: 16577099, member: 104388"] You sure about that? "include modified dampers, lower control arms, and rear stabilizer bars. Ford also added an FIA-compliant roll cage, 18x11-inch wheels, slick tires, and revised aerodynamics" Sounds like pretty basic shit to me. The transmission is the biggest difference, but that's more for reliability in endurance racing, and more consistent shifts, not all out performance. The dampers/cage/wheels/tires/aero is all shit the 570 gets too you know... The biggest thing the Mustang changes from the road car is major weight reduction, which is frankly it's only downfall. As you can't make and sell a $50k street car with carbon fiber tubs and other shit that inflate a price to $250k+. My point with the BOP is, they are making the cars damn near identical power to weight ratio, with the same tires, and equally talented drivers. It does not get more apples to apples than that to compare chassis performance. If there was something truly magical about these McLarens, they would be outperforming every other car in the class due to their chassis alone, even with the power to weight equality. But they don't. Because physics determine lap times, not MSRP.
