Awesome car choice! My Wife still has me debating about picking one up.

Interior is beautiful.

You just saved a BUNCH of money on modifications compared to your old Z. For VERY minimal mods you have over 700 rwhp on that ride

If I had to have a back seat, make mine the CTS-V.

Nice ride. A friend just picked up a KR, within a week he added upper and lower pulleys and a tune, now it has 550 rwhp.

The CTS-V is real nice, and runs great, but IMO it's not as sharp as the Shelby. On the other hand, if you need to put adults in the rear seat, the V's is more comfortable.

congrats! how is the handling and braking compared to the Z06? are those going at deep discounts?

dont care much for the interior though...u would think they would take a few clues from GM and step it up a bit. CTS-V is the one for me inside and out.

Car looks amazing! Congrats
Just an observation....Ford could have made those brakes larger but I guess if hey did then the aftermarket vendors wouldn't be in business.
It's all part of the conspiracy theory

Enjoy the new ride

With 2 grandkids added to the family since my Z purchase a CTS-V coupe would tempt me away. IMO this = a 4 seat Vette

I love the Gt500, enjoy it in good health. That is a bad a$$ ride. I have had several Fords in the past, all have been great!

Definitely wouldn't personally trade a C6 Z for the Shelby, but I also don't have kids. However, I'd love to have both sitting in my garage! Nice ride and congrats!!

Very nice ride!!! I am a Mustang fan too.... IMO the CTS-V looks way to sedate for what it is. The GT500 is a pure Muscle car!!!!

Awesome color, I'd choose that interior over my corvettes any day.
