i dont know about z0s.. but this is a 490 rwhp coupe Vs a 520ish rwhp Whippled 4.6 GT from 50..

New Shelby's SHOULD pick on them given the almost 140 hp advantage (guessing that from parasitic loss the new GT500's are putting 640 to the ground of the 668 advertised hp).

Modded 5.0 vs Z06 (even c5 with nothing major), the Z06 will be either dead even or walk it on the top end :(

C5 Zo6 and a stock 5.0 track pack gd race 1/4.

Definitely 1/4 they would be close....once a Z0 hits top of 3rd it's nasty :(

Rumor has it that recently in Mexico there was a test performed....the Z06 fared rather well...

Zemog, would have loved to help, I love looking at cars...

C6 LS3 car is the buy right now... 80% of the performance vs a Z stock and a good 10-15 grand less. Friend sold his 08 last month for like 25-26k.

IMO if you want a NEW car with a warrenty for 30ish K.. GT and leave it alone.. if you are going to mod it and void the warrenty.. what does newer really give you?
my vette NEW was stickered @ 56ish K.. 3lt z51 fully loaded. it was bought for 46-48ish and i bought it 1 year old with 20k on it for 37. you could get a BASE 1lt for 42k new but i didnt what a base model so i paid a little more for a 1 year old loaded one.

that being said.. IMO its Far nicer and far "more car" than a new 5.0 or boss, and while the new GT500 would beat stock ls3, they are going for 54+k and besides being faster i STILL think the vette is a nicer car.

if you are going to mod it all of that really means not a damn thing.. HP for HP the c6 always seems to out perform the mustang.

Yea, it should...the weight difference is so much of a deficit to overcome for a 5.0 :(

not all of them are super light.. especially not with my fat ass in it lol

with my iron block and my fat ass. my c6 weighs in @ over 3800 lbs... fattys suck

Everything you need to know about the C6 Z06 and what it's capable of you can learn from "Ranger" on the Vette forum and/or his Youtube channel. That guy has forgotten more about driving than most people know.

But you know how to drive ;) And I am sure that iron block is making substantial power, is it not?

It does okay :)

Lightning's sht is slow. I dragged him a few times.

When are you gettin yours?:party28:

Over 1100 is just ok

Considering when he gets his fuel and clutch isues worked out he will have no problem making over 1300rw, yeah I'd say 1100 is "okay" for being parts limited. God that must suck, huh? lol.
