Car & Driver highlights

The camaro performed pretty well on track. I will be very surprised if the gt500 beats it

Nordschleife lap records - FastestLaps.com

#40. It performed better than most "known" high performing cars. I hate to say it but the gt500 will probably not perform as well on the track.

I wouldn't trust that list, it doesn't even have the right lap time for the Ford GT.

If ford sat at the ring for 3 weeks with pro drivers I am sure they'll get a 2013 gt500 to run a 7:40.xxx or better.

Hell, in an hour in forza I can chop 5-8 seconds off ring lap times just by learning the feel of the car on the track and adjusting springs/shocks/tire pressure/diff settings but not adding or changing any actual parts.

Reason I bring this up is because Chevy spent weeks out there. Weeks. That and al O speaks so highly of his simulations so I figured I'd bring up my "simulated" affairs that I've experienced off of forza.

(obviously I'm being facetious, a video game is not real life, but the argument that practice/tuning makes for better times is valid)

So can Al. Op.

I know right? Like I said if he wants to run his sims, so can all of us ahaha

Wasn't the Fox body based off the Fairmont, or Vise Versa?

The Fox body is based off the Fairmont, which came out a year before the 79 mustang.

Yes only the mustang II used pinto tech.
