Yes, but straight line isn't the only thing. The Lightning is also very impressive. The Mach-E can't really corner like a sports car, but I am sure that the Lightning can't corner like anything other than a giant pick up truck.

Motor Trend got a 12.4@107 1/4 mile and a 3.8 0-60mph out of the Lightning Lariat that barely edged the Rivian R1T in a comparison. Iā€™ve seen no Mach E GT test from a mainstream source that can match that 12.4, not to mention the 107mph.

Ford blew it with the GT.

So youā€™re saying I should wait for the mid-cycle refresh before I upgrade my Premium ER AWD?

Well, idk. Depends on the relative importance the above 60 mph acceleration and high speed passing is to you I suppose. We also have a 4X as you probably know, and were wanting to trade up to a GTPE. Until the 5 second fiasco came to light. Now, weā€™ve reserved a Blazer SS.

If Ford makes changes that allow the GTs to perform as they should, and we expect, then Iā€™d have no qualms with forking over the $.

That contactor and LG pack really letting Ford down, expect the refresh Mach E to have none of these issues just gotta wait a few years!

It would be difficult for me to break down and purchase a Chevy. I might take a peek at the Lyriq but hopefully, the mid-year Mustang refresh will be attractive or perhaps Ford might surprise us on the Lincoln side (although my gut is telling me the first electrified Lincoln will be a very high end Navigator).

I really think everyone has this backwards.

This was an 1/8th mile race.

The GT is amazingly fast in the 1/8th.

This does not show us that the GT sucks.

This just shows us that the Lightning is awesome.

Look up other cars that run a 7.7 in the 1/8th mile. Then tell me if thatā€™s an embarrassing list to be a part of for a ā€œMustang GT.ā€

Ohā€¦.. and on that list, let me know which years of ICE Mustang GTs run a 7.7 stock. šŸ¤”
