fordification said:is it true that a pro driver can usually produce better number without the aid of tc? guess the tester didn't feel confident without it on the vette then.
COBRA32 said:Gt's are not going for 200,000 they are going for MSRP now. If they gave me a choice of which one, I would take the GT over the Z06 in a heart beat and you would be a fool to not take it also. A Ferrari is slower than the Z06 so I guess a ferrari must really be a junk hep too. Just like the guys in the magizine said its in another league compared to the ZO6. I will let the Guys at Motor Trend sum up the GT. How does the Ford GT stack up? Personality-wise it's the Ivy-League old-money fraternity president and rugby-team captain, a product of impeccable breeding. While the Viper and Vette are busy defending America's honor against the upper-middle-class competition, the GT packs the power, poise, and panache to parry and thrust with the blue-blooded Ferrari and Porsche flagships. Is it better than the other cars put together? The raw numbers may not make the case, but its emotional appeal is extraordinary Sure, it's hard to wriggle into, it's tight fitting, there's no place to put anything, and the ventilation is so-so. The same can be said about Superman's Lycra costume, but if it could make you fly, what would you pay to own it?
mustangbee said:the GTs junk for the money..yeah i said it..junk.. a $70k car keeping up with it...WTF?!?

Paul Vincent said:GTSpartan, If Chevy had kept the Vette "fresh and exciting" throughout its run, would people be so excited over the C6 Z06? Face it, for far too many years the Vette was treated as an afterthought by GM and was a vehicle kept in limbo for decades. The good that dynamic development of the Vette could have done for all of GM did not matter. It was a philosophy of "give the consumer just enough to keep the Vette selling" that ruled.
