1LE better than the 350R? Specifically after he stated the new 1LE is still 2 seconds behind the old z28.
I hope people don't take that at face value and think the GT500 will run 9s in the quarter.

2020?? For crying out loud! If we have to wait two more years before the thing is released, it had better be a supercar slayer. I'm talking put the 675LT back on the trailer and give the 720S night terrors. For a car that I suspect has been in the works since the S550 program started, there's no excuse for it to come up short.
If I'm reading this correctly, you're saying there would be no excuse for the new GT500 to fall short of the 720S?
ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME?
Nearly 10 years of development? What would be the excuse? "Are you ****ing kidding me" is the same type of shit people used to say before the GT350R existed. Just saying.

GT500 ($75k-ish) vs. Mclaren 720S ($300k).
Power to weight on a 720S is just under 4lbs per horsepower; meaning the new GT500 will need to have about 950hp (3800#). That's not going to happen.
Not to mention the advantages of a mid vs. front engine.
You're only looking at straight line acceleration. I'm talking total performance. And in today's performance climate, talking prices is all but irrelevant unless you're into rubbing dashboards. The GT3 costs nearly 3x as much as a GT350R, yet, according to Ford, they're neck-and-neck in performance. The R was nearly a full second faster than "Godzilla" around Laguna Seca. That's something that's supposed to be all but impossible for any car, much less a Mustang.

I'd rather the people from Shelby didn't say anything at all. The ZL1/1LE is what I'm hoping had more influence rather than a ****ing Demon.
