      Or, one could just depart from the herd mentality and just wait. lol.
      Even better: Buy a pre-owned GT and build it exactly the way you want. You would then have a unique supercar that would destroy the GT500 and you would still probably have money left over.
      Just a couple of thoughts that popped into my head.

    It Willow Springs a ZO6 put down a 1:25 and the ZR1 put down a 1:23. The GT350 put down a 1:28. Even if what I said was true and the tires weren't optimal you're only going to gain about a second with tires if that. And I'm pretty positive that Randy had everything in best mode for the best optimal handling for that track. Will find out whatever Car and Driver does their Lightning Lap 2020 at VIR. I'm predicting 2:45 - 2:47 for the GT500. The ZO6 put down a 2:44 and the GT500 is in no way as fast as a ZO6. The Ford GT put down a 2:45 and a 2:43 and there's no way even on a bad day the GT500 is faster than a Ford GT on the track.
    As for the ZL1 1LE. It's a different breed than the GT500. They put down a 1:26 at Willow Springs and a Lightning Lap of 2:45. I believe the GT500 Willow Springs put down like a 1:28 so even with fresh tires it's going to be in the 1:27 range so the 1LE is still faster on the track.
    I'm sure people are going to chime in saying that on the straightaways GT500 is faster. And you would be correct. But if we've learned anything about racing on a track with twisties straight away speed really doesn't mean anything. If anybody ever watched the British Touring Car Championships they had V8 battling 4 cylinders back in the '60s and it was bumper to bumper racing. You had Cooper Minis beating Camaros and Mustangs back in the 60s. The GT500 is a straightaway monster and that's about where it ends.

But that being said the consumer can fight back by not going nuts when these cars come out and paying these crazy prices. If those cars sit on showroom floors for while these guys wouldn't be asking 20-40 k over sticker the longer it sits the longer they don't make money. They understand this but at end of day each individal has to make this decision. I've decided against paying that kind of money for GT500 I'm sitting back and maybe in 2-3 yrs from now these car should be in less demand and cost should be adjusted by then.

      @@VicinalElk44104 You're made several errant assumptions, where do I start? First of all, I"m not a manual purist,..I prefer stalled, fast shifting automatics. Second, what makes you think a dual clutch is faster than a proper torque converter automatic? Recent data is hard to come by but I remember back in 2015 when the 8 speed automatic in the Corvette shifted faster than the Porsche PDK. (If you look around, you can find an article or two on that). In reality, the only thing a DCT is faster than is a manual transmission since we are human, after all. One point you make that I"ll concede is efficiency but any benefit a DCT has there is marginal.
      Fact of the matter is a properly built and tuned automatic CAN and WILL shift faster than a DCT without all of the low speed and part throttle crap behavior to deal with. Seriously, DCTs are like having a manual transmission wrapped in a straight jacket. lol In that context, you damn right I'll take a manual transmission over one. Furthermore, a DCT clutch will never be able to multiply torque and flash like a torque converter. (A wonderful trait afforded by that wonderful thing called Fluid Dynamics). I thought I would also mention that with the latest 10 speed automatics, we now have more gears on team TAC. lol (Torque Converter Automatic, just coined that).
      I think one of the main reasons manufacturers are pushing DCTs is because they are in reality cheaper to manufacture than a proper auto so that along with the idea 'that they are better' is pushing this 'craze'. You may not agree with me but that's ok. I DO NOT like dual clutch transmission and I don't apologize for it.
      I'm not trying to be an arse but you might try and stereotype people here on youtube less and stick more with the facts.

      And I quote "This car had no chance in my garage because it has a dual clutch transmission. If a proper manual transmission shows up, then we're talking." That was what I was referring to. Never once did you mention that you prefer automatics. The way you worded it, made it seem like you are a manual purist. So, yeah. And on top of that, I never said it will shift faster than a properly built auto with a stall. I know it won't. But it will shift faster than a manual, which IS what you mentioned in your original post. So to basically flame the DCT when comparing it to a manual transmission, then when you get told it shifts faster and crisper, you mention an automatic trans with a stall? That wasn't even in the original discussion, bud.

    Well unless it's a track pack. To be honest I think the Ford dealerships that are charging that much over sticker or being straight Crooks and they should not be Ford dealers. Don't get me wrong I think they should make money because they need to stay in business but people have allowed the car dealership business to be Shady that's why they have such a bad rap so I'm not saying they shouldn't get any money I'm down for the making a little bit of money off the car but that far over sticker is a rip-off from them.
    Although I will say here's the deal with the track pack is those wheels are even bigger than last year's just as light just a strong so those wheels are going for between 15 to 20 grand a piece you can definitely bet those are pushing on the higher end closer to twenty Grand a piece then on top of the carbon fiber arrow that you get and the carbon piece for the dash you're still looking at like between 13 to $15,000 if you were to buy all those pieces yourself... so whoever buys one even if they paid 130 grand for it which I don't think anybody should but if somebody did there's like $95,000 worth of carbon fiber on the car and that's that that's not even the selling point of the car!:).
    It's the new engine 760 horsepower and the fact that Ford and GM spent a stupid amount of money partnering and coming up with a DCT transmission for their cars. There's there is a difference between the two forward is a 7-speed GM is an 8-speed. At that point it's like you spent $130,000 on an extremely bad ass comfortable monster that you can drive everyday take to the track and if you're good enough driver be neck-and-neck with Porsches finest track weapon and u $90,000 worth of carbon fiber for free. Who are you buying extremely dope ass amazing Mustang it does everything I just said and you put $90,000 with a carbon-fiber on it:).
    either way it's a mother freaking win whoever buys a car in the winter Ford Ford is the mother freaking best I giving people the best bang for your buck. And just like the Shelby gt350r it's going to hit its bottom price people are going to pay for the car and get all the carbon fiber for free or people are going to pay for all the carbon fiber and get that bad ass car for free... and if they take care of it they will be able to turn in and sell it for a good profit years down the road. and the Shelby still weighs like 500 plus pounds more. the Porsche GTRs line at least the flagship ones are between 140000 to well over 200 plus thousand dollars. and 140000 for a GT two or three Rs is like the absolute bottom price and if history is an indicator cars like that they're only start going up from there just give it some time.
    right off the top of my head thanks to that Washington State 🔥 which RS Randy post raced but either way both of those cars are doing sub 7 Minute lap times at the Nurburgring in the Shelby was only 200 seconds off a smaller track that's nowhere near the places to you 760 horsepower like the green hell has. oh yeah and this thing would kill the hello Kitty and be right next to or beat depending on the driver and conditions the pink eye and the demon and that's at the transmission is in protection mode so it will not shift as fast as I can.
    So runs with or beats Factory drag race cars and the best sports cars on the drag strip that money can buy keeps up with racing royalty it doesn't just keep up with it gives it a very good challenge and the still comfortable enough to drive everyday! Word for the win

      Indeed. The Corvette ZR1 is the only car American made that would smoke the GT500. The camaro ZL1 1LE is faster on certain tracks. That being dependent of layouts and track length. I believe on more techincial tracks. The ZL1 1LE is faster. Both are great buys. But Chevy been had the ZL1 1LE out and for it to still hang with a new most powerful ever thus far GT500 speaks volumes to the engineering behind the car. Wow.

Coming out of turns and corners is a challenge you have to nail the throttle inputs. In the Porsche it's easier because you can just slingshot out of the turns. Hence why on most tracks it is faster. Down to drivers comfortability. The more comfortable the better the driver handles the car.

    Austin, did you figure out the exhaust issue? Seems weird that you had that issue. Have you seen anyone else have that problem? Do a Google search to see if there is a problem it stops you from changing it? Ford can fix the issue with the frickin' ADM's by selling the top of the line Mustangs or other cars directly to the people. They have the car configurator on the site, they could take deposits or full payments, and you pick the dealer where you want the car delivered. That would bypass the dealerships throwing the ADM's on the cars. Simple fix.
