2-3 shifts to get to 60 on a 6 speed tremec? these guys don't know how to drive. I'M GETTING REALLY MAD RIGHT NOW...and i dont know why.
I think I know why you're mad. It's the same way I felt when I read jalopnik's report that the R/T takes over 7 seconds to 60. People who don't follow this car as closely as we do will read this and believe it. First impressions are hard to overcome. The prevailing talk among jalopnik board posters is what a bad time that is and how much faster a Mustang is. That made me mad.
It's like when the '08 SRT was first reviewed and people instantly got the impression that the Challenger was an overpriced gas guzzler. You could try to tell people that a smaller V8 and even a V6 were coming, but the impression was already there.
Oh, well. Maybe time will straighten all this out. All those people who read that 0-60 time and believe it will get an awakening when they meet their first R/T at a stoplight!
