ZO6 no question and no comparison.

Shelby looks nice, but it's still a ford.
Z06 no doubt about it.

You have to realize to that a lot of people own Mustangs and Corvettes, and those are the only true American sports and pony cars left here in the US.

No need to call names, because someone wants to post something that he thinks others may be interested in. I would never call you a troll for any of your posts, whether I agreed with them or not. Guess the Calif sun has burned your brain. Be a nice man and play friendly.

I think the GT500 is really sharp looking but it is way too heavy. I would much rather have my Z or a new Z.

I'd love to get the new Shelby GT500, and have both. My wife would love the Mustang.

I'd take a stock C6 (non Z06) over it.

If I wanted a 4000 lb car I'd one with 2 more doors in the rear.

Viper is owned by the Germans now, and of course the Ford GT without question..and as far as the Mustang and Corvette being the only two American made left, they have been around the longest and are staples. As far as your posts are concerned, it seems that your knowledge is limited to the C5, so it be a waste of my time to get into all of this with you. Not only are you limited in your knowledge when it comes to tech info, but you're also limited in your mental abilities. Definitely seek some help, since you have nothing else to do but follow me around this board, harrassing and lurking like a stalker...sick.

You're setting a bad example to other members here.

I'm not real high on the Mustang. I'm sure its a nice ride, just not for me. In 2006 I was shopping for a new car for the wife and I went with a Charger R/T instead of the Mustang.

all i have to say is traditional pushrod N/A motor vs a 4 cam motor with 32 valves and a blower barely making 500 HP... dont ask the general public u have to ask those who have driven both cars....or have owned one. lets face it majority of the general population could never afford and Z06 or GT-40. this subject really "Grinds my Gears" u can explain and argue all day long about both motors but in the end most people say well one looks better than the other... thats a bunch of crap both cars look awesome and both cars are well design but the Z06 will win and has won in many articles in magazines....

I have a two vettes one of them is a Z06, and I also a have a new GT500 and some other toys. The GT500 is a nice car, I would not put it in the same group has a vette, but it's a nice car and fun to drive.

All corvette bias aside...these cars aren't even in the same league. The z06 out classes it by far.
