My S550 has a back seat in theory, no one could sit behind me with me driving. Two shorties up front and maybe 2 kids in back.
I just have this feeling that GM will walk right up to the line of greatness, stop , turn away, and mutter "Not Today"
Yep lets compare the fully loaded top of the heap Mustang to the base non optioned C8. Ricer math. Yo do realize the C8 can be option out to almost $110K? no one is quoting that price, but seems to bring up the loaded price of the GT500 quite often.No one is comparing the c8 to a base v6.... lol! The comparison is with a $100k + 500.

A lot of people are getting these cars w/o markup. I see it fits your narrative so you run with it.(plus mark up)

A lot of people is not everyone. A lot of people will be paying mark up. Unlike the C8.
Don’t kill the messenger! Lol
It baffles me when people pay the markup! Some kid at work bought a raptor for a $100k with ADM here in SoCal at the same time my friend in Texas bought his raptor for $70k OTD with an extended warranty. It’s nearly unbelievable how people can throw away money like that.

Lol, they definitely use retarded logic. They must not remember a loaded z06 sells in excess for $120k (z07 c7r package) Now that the vette had gone mid engine and options available like a 911, I can see this car going to $150k. So yes, we should compare top models with equally (or close to) equally-spec'd top models.You will never appeal to the logic side of most users here, see below.
They are comparing a theoretical rumor 2021 car, to a new and known 2020 car, as u said, 2 different matchups, and in 2 very different segments for performance and pricing.
When you make logical sense on those, they drop pricing argument to annolder lesser model, still not comparable. Its chess checkers cats and earthworms. They will never argue what you are saying, only what you aren't
How do i fit 4 in a z06?
I’m trying to remember...we’re you the one who kept telling DBK he was wrong?2019 Z06 starts at $80,900...I'd say that's right in the mix of the GT500.
I'll agree with that.They must not remember a loaded z06 sells in excess for $120k (z07 c7r package) Now that the vette had gone mid engine and options available like a 911, I can see this car going to $150k.
The price of the porsche gt3 went up too, now starting at 143k. I'm curious how a z51 package will perform against one.I'll agree with that.
A loaded up C7 3LZ Z07, (non C7Rcar), is close to or more than 120K as well.
Mustang still really isn't a "sports" car, though.
2005-2010 were basically the same.
Also - How do you compare a 4 seater to a 2-seater that is and pretty much always has been considered a sports car, let alone a C8 that is apparently a Ford GT killer and mid-level Ferrari competitor? Never really seen Ford say "The new GT500 will be taking on Super cars" like Chevy has made it a point to do so with the new C8 Vette being a huge bang for buck at 60K.
By that rationale, any four seater Porsche shouldn’t be compared to the Corvette.
The comparison being made is performance bang for the buck.
911's are all 4 seaters... Minus the gt3/gt2Well, that would mean comparing a Luxury sedan (Panamera) to a Z06. That sound right to you?
911's are all 2-seaters and should be compared to a 100K Vette instead of a Mustang.
While I agree the Mustang has evolved into more of a sports car, it is still a larger 4-seater car vs. a smaller car that has ALWAYS been designed for performance.
If we take out all of the ADM's, the GT500 will be cheaper, option for option. Some people think it will take a fully upgraded/optioned out model GT500 to even remotely compete with the Z and at that point, the prices will be much closer and more valid in that argument.

Too much logic, the plus the vette has is it's cheap, but it's not like it will completely dominate the market, it just wont, people buy Porsches and Ferraris for a reason. Performance will be great, but it isnt be all end all, these guys forgot how great the zl1 performs, yet nobody buys them. And lol at comparing a panamera with a z06.GT2/GT3 are the performance models and very comparable to a Z06.........
2020 GT500 - Estimated weight - 4,225LBS
2020 Z06 - Estimated weight - 3,585 (based on a previous thread/post that showed a possible dealer screen shot of the Z and specs)
2019 911 GT3 - Estimated weight - 3,153
Definitely sounds like a fair comparison.
Z06 is over 600LBS lighter than the Shelby, the 911 GT3 is over 1,000LBs lighter than the Shelby. HUGE difference.
You say too much logic... But he's the one who said compare the panamera to a z06.. Not the guy he was quoting. 10 minutes ago he was unaware that 911's were a 4 seater chassis.Too much logic, the plus the vette has is it's cheap, but it's not like it will completely dominate the market, it just wont, people buy Porsches and Ferraris for a reason.

The magazines should do that comparison, people making these comparisons will be pissed when the magazines have the sedan win, because it's just much more comfortable with a better interior.
I dont think the z06 will be that light, corvette will have to invest in more carbon parts. That'll drive the price up. Not sure they can mass produce cf parts for a car they make 25k+/year of. GM will make as many z06s as it can.
More 2+2, people think the rear seats in the mustang are small, 911 rear seats are smaller.You say too much logic... But he's the only who said compare the panamera to a z06.. Not the guy he was quoting. 10 minutes ago he was unaware that 911's were a 4 seater chassis
