With the Track Pack, the GT needs to shift three times before 60. Has anyone seen numbers without the 3.73 axle ratio? Seems like it might eliminate one shift, reducing 0-60 times. The car's somewhat traction limited anyway, so the hole shot that the taller gears provides might not make that much difference.

After further research, I concur with the reflection idea. The 3rd brake light did not come on. Again, I think whatever drama we are seeing in this video is not MT cheating for the Stang. Its producing a video (movie) for entertainment value. Having the 2 cars exchanging the lead makes for a good video. The times in this article are consistent for both cars so I'm not surprised to see a photo finish.
