[QUOTE="93 347 Cobra, post: 16586813, member: 7047"] Those numbers are a bit misleading. 11.8 was on un-prepped asphalt while 10.7 was a fully prepped surface with rollout. Motor Trend has rigorous testing standards so 11.5 for the 13-14 cars is more realistic and 11.3 for the 20+ cars. Huge MPH difference between the two 132 vs 126. Plus you're comparing a CFTP car with the wing and alignment set on kill with fresh R-comp tires for the lap times. A better apples to apples comparison would be the base 2020 car. The difference is probably closer to 8-10 seconds per lap which is still colossal. The 13-14 cars were raw in all the right ways. The 20+ cars are nipping Ferrari and Porsche heels for a fraction of the cost. And I hated the solid rear because of the weird high speed twitchiness in the ass-end when going over bumps or dips in the road (or airstrip). They're very different vehicles released over 7 years apart. I personally love them both, but at the end of the day the 20+ cars are simply better. And anything over 180 on a deserted road in Mexico is just f'ing scary, trust me on that. [/QUOTE]
