busa baby, ya got me their...my fox dont want none a that
Well damn that is cool! Where do you shop for your parts because damn I took all of those prices off of Lethal Performances site since it was in your sig. I figured you just dropped it off or something. Anyways, you must get some kind of discount on everything or lots of that stuff was already on the car. Either way its still there and adds up.
As I said before I have no argument there. The C6Z is an all around performer for what it costs, short of the 08-09 Vipers, nothing comes close. The GT500 excels in it's own way, but it will never do some of things a C6Z is capable of.

oh i know you understand, i didn't see your post, but i already knew
:coolman: :rockon::beer:;-)
All parts that I bought new were purchased from Lethal, I have a very good relationship with them and do get very large discounts. They are not an install shop they only sell parts. Many things like I showed you above were bought used or new but prevously bought. I maybe a "baller" as you said but I'm not stupid with my money.
Hell this argument can go all year long and there's still no clear winner. :rockon: Put some minor mod's on the Ford GT and see what happen, you know what I' m trying to say.....right! In this thread, the GT500 lost fair and square...:beer:
Yeah that video is old. That's phamtom's car on the CF, that car was lemon lawed for literally falling apart. :lol1: DBK posted another video of him racing a stock Z06, it's literally too close to call. The Z06 is a tad quicker, but the FGT is geared towards 205mph+ runs so it starts gaining ground on the Z06 the faster it went.
Anyways, yes the GT is way more expensive than a Z06, but IMO it's TWICE the car.. The FGT costs WAY more to produce, that's why it's more expensive. It's not built off a base model $40,000 car.. I love how Chevy utilized the mass produced Corvette to create an awesome performer that was still affordable, but the Ford GT is on another level.
As for magazine numbers and track results, get behind the wheel of a mid-engine exotic, then compare it to a front engine car with the hood and front wheels considerably further away from you. Despite what the numbers say when both cars are pushed to the limit with professional drivers, they will feel like entirely different animals.
Both great cars, but I would take a FGT over even a ZR1 which is considerably faster. Speed isn't everything. Just like I would take a C6Z06 over any iteration of a GT500 even if they could somehow manage to make a factory one that was faster than a Z06, whether it be a KR, supersnake or whatever.

I agreed with you. Its gonna be tought to make KR, Supersnake to be faster than a Z06 merely due to the aerodynamic and weight factor. I think if you put a M5 tranny in there may be it could be done...Hmmmm wonder if it will fit mine......jkd.

Both cars are impressive, with that being said, does anyone know what the song at the beginning of the video is? Thanks.
Very well said. I'm so sick of these A$$ clowns bringing up MRSP. That's so F'N juvenile and hypocritical because if the had the money to buy anything other than a Mustang, they would regardless of $$...
Wow,
I never realized mustang owners were such ricers. Half the people posting in this thread aren't fast enough to run with a stock Z, but suddenly they are experts on what it takes to beat one... well on the internet bench anyway.
The only "fair" way to compare cars is stock for stock. Once you start modding it will almost always come down to who has the bigger check book, with drivers and conditions being the equalizer.
I've beaten a couple of these cars, but have no doubt in my mind, that from a highway roll (as is probably the only way to safely race either car on the street) it takes an order of magnitude more power in the GT500 to outdo the Z. The light weight, the perfectly matched gearing, aerodynamics, ect. All work out to one of the best circle track race cars you can buy off the showroom floor, that happens to also be fast from a highway roll as a by-product of it's original purpose.
Basically, the corvette is a marathon runner, that just happens to also be able to sprint faster then most sprinters. It's like matching a varsity highschool track star, against an olympian. The mustang has great potential with some additional parts, it can fill all roles with the right training (parts), whereas the corvette is a specialized machine to do battle among the gods (Ferrari, Lamhorghini, Aston Martin, Porsche, Mercedes) on Olympus (Europe).
If you will excuse the heady metaphor going on here.

sit tight, there will be a vid posted today/soon of me raping a 600whp evo from a dig :coolman:
but yes, you are right, 99% of c6z's prefer to go from a roll, it's where we shine.
Please, I want to see that.
we raced last weekend, beat him from a dig twice, and from a roll once. I've been harrassing my buddy to post the vid everyday for the past week, should be up today.
i didnt read the whole thread so someone may have asked but shouldnt your buddy be makin over 590rwhp. with a intake and a tune they can make 485rwhp easily and a 150 shot on that. i would expect at least 620rwhp
