Default 08' Z06 Vs. 08 Shelby Gt500KR

Welp, its official, Ford needs to withdraw from the sports car scene

even with a 35hp advantage and more TQ...its still being beat by a less expensive corvette.

On a side note....edmunds needs to fix their sheet...stock z06's run 10.98's(completely stock)

Why not just buy a GT, mod it so it blows the numbers the KR is putting down out of the water, and walk away with $30k you saved from not buying the KR.

Very nice video.Every time I visit my parents,I askmy dad if he will let me drive his Z06. The answer has always been no. Honestly, I would like to have either car.

Eh The GT has more power than a Z06...45hp more and like 40-50 more TQ...and is still behind the Z06....with an 11.2 1/4.
And for the money they want for a GT compared to a Z06...you could take the money saved(even have some left over) and get an LPE kit for the C5 Z06 and continue to run even more circles around the GT
http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/car/777942421.html and http://www.lingenfelter.com/pack_cor_c5_725.htm = 70,000, wow....less than a C6 Z06
Yes, i'm a vette fan if its not already known lol

Im with most here. Im not a ford fan anyway. But. Ford mustangs just sound awesome. I've always loved the way they sound..... other than that.... dont like much else about em.

It will be interesting when the new camaro comes out. They are supposed to put the ZO6 engine in one of the models.

But, If I had the money, I'd buy the ZR1 Vette. 638hp, over 600ftlbs of torque and just under 3200lbs...

Its nice to see the hp wars are still alive and well. Much better than the late 70's early 80's when a vette was running less 200hp......

That 10.98 is better than most bikes ... I am a bit pessimistic about the 'bone stock' part though [8D]
