New C/D GT vs SS test just posted online
Mustang GT vs Camero SS was just posted. They also compared both 6 cyl versions. SS edged out the GT in the quarter, but overall they liked the Mustang better.

One bad thing for GT owners, don't challange even a 6 cyl Camero to a top speed race. Both Cameros post a 157mph top end, and the GT trails them by llmph.

The GT also has from what I have heard, has the "Gentleman's Agreement" 155 mph governing also.

I'm pretty sure that agreement was between Audi, BMW and Mercedes. However, I read Gt's are limited to 145mph despite the 160 on the speedo.

You are correct sir. I just find the name and it's function a bit amusing. I couldn't remember if the GT's was 145 or 155, my bad, just didn't feel like hunting down the numbers.

Once you get over around 120 you're looking at a court appearance most places anyway...
