    Mustang drivers are the tip-top of the pyramid as their skills are higher, by necessity, than those who drive the superior platform Camaros.

    LOL... I heard this guy say that he races for BMW telling that to someone that has no clue and him not realizing that I do race. He does autocross with the BMW club.

    Not sure how you can back that up unless it's a CMC thing. There is a gap of more than 4 seconds between Misty's camaro and My mustang. Her car has more power, a LOT more tire, slicker aero, SLA, torque arm with watts link and yadda yadda yadda.....Can't break a 1:52.0 with it at TWS CW....ran a 1:47.9 in the Fairmont-moosetang. Camaros FEEL better on track but I am not convinced they are faster. Watched a couple foxes run away at TWS in the CMC race....maybe the vintage fairmont is the superior platform?! LOL!!!
    Ah, fugg it.
