looks like they were afraid to bring the ZR1 into that mix. cool video but a poor showing for America

Boss 302 came in 8th. Those cars ran in the low 11's to high 12's. Some did a lot better than I expected. The lexus was 5th ahead of the ZO6.

The first five had a 100 horse power more than the Boss. The first four were .7 apart, then came the next three with same ET but slightly different speeds, followed by the Boss all by itself .5 sec after #7, the last three were in a bunch .2 sec apart,

You can divine these stats till your hearts content, but those furriners had the moxie.

Nice video.
Where was the MM, we can do better than 11's.

The driver of the ZO6 couldn't drive it for crap, car should of done a lot better than it did.

Why did they pick the slow Mustang?

They pick cars costing several times the Mustang and then pick the slow Mustang?

Boss 302 @$40K 444HP vs Shelby GT500 @$48K 550HP.

Bunch of Anti American A$$ Holes. This is why I don't have a subscription.

They are all the new hot cars. The GTR is a fool proof car, it's all computer controlled like driving a 2-ton PS3 game system.

Cool video, but...

Motor Trend and all the rest of those car mags love to hate American cars. Bunch of snobs they are. It makes complete sense they would pick the slower American cars. They also picked the ugliest Mustang ever built.

Bs!!!!!!!!!!! Where's the dam zr1. I'm calling mt to ball out everyone

[Taemian]

Well, there are 3 less GT-Rs on the planet. We destroyed them in the new Matt Damon movie we're filming up here. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!
Also destroyed 2 brand new GMC p/u's.

Can't post photos until after the film is released...confidentiality agreement stuff.

There...fixed it for ya!

BTW: I'm glad that they picked the BOSS 302 Mustang.
It's a naturally aspirated 5.0L that runs like a ***** ape!
Sure they could have picked the Shelby GT500, but it runs about the same 1/4 as the BOSS 302.

BTW: I wonder if they used the BOSS's 'Track Key'??

and that pile of absurdly priced Lexus crap.....$$$$$$ 375,000 (I'm stupid and stupid rich) Laughing Frickin' Aloud...:rofl:

[sailsmen]

The Shelby GT 500 is definitely faster in the 1/4 than the Boss.
