2023/2024 Ford Mustang

According to Wiki, that's slower than the last generation GT3 RS (6:56.4).

Edit* If the C8 ZR1 blitzes pass this thing, Chevy is going to have a field day in marketing.

I've found multiple times for these cars online so I assume manufacturers or owners have had several attempts. Ford says they're going back so we'll see what happens when it's warmer next spring.

The sad thing is, getting under 7 seconds should be more than enough of worthy praise. But as @Tornado pointed out, Ford's CEO decided to call out other brands with some trash talk:

I want to see Porsche, I want to see Aston Martin, I want to see Mercedes sweat.

We looked at what Porsche had done with their racing Porsches, and we thought we could do it even better.

I want to go bigger in motorsports, but do it in a smart way, and I think companies like Porsche have outsmarted us in the past. Now it’s our time to outsmart them.

And now the engineering team & the driver have to find 10+ seconds of time to make up, which I think will be a tall order.

Oof. I didn't realise he'd trash talked like that, but I think he's going to be more than a little bit sore. I don't think any of those manufacturers he mentioned give an F.
