gt500 have not impressed me at all.

intake exhaust and tune putting you in the low 11's are not impressive?? and you do have a point about the supercharger...but then again they already put it on there factory for you, one less thing you have to do later down the road. look at the moding potential. its quite easy then. 03 cobra vs 02 SS. intake exhaust and pulley for the cobra puts its easily into the 11's for about 1200 bucks. can you do that as easily with a camaro and for as cheap....NO. you have a point but you have to look at it from both sides. if you plan on moding your car its a great start. what would have been easier to mod for me. the N/A grand prix or the supercharged grand prix??? plus ford uses smaller motors anyways...

but its still LSX FTW!! gm did a great job with the LS series and i still stand behind my point that i think they are #1 in performance right now and have been for a good number of years now. ever since the LS1 and there doing nothing but getting better. plus they put there cars together better. camaros put there power down to the ground better than mustangs. its nothing if you cant put it to the wheels.

I agree
GM Has been on the leading edge in that stand point since the LS1.
Amazing motors

in a 1 min 12 sec road course the gt500 was only 1 sec behind the zo6. of course it is easier to handle with a car that ways 500 pounds less but svt is no slouche when it comes to handeling. its just nobody brags about there handeling, only about there strait line

Interesting

ill post video when i find it...they say the vette is easier to controll but the cobra is right there with it. and he said once you go sideways with the vette its kinda hard to controll. what is the fun of that??

I can believe that..
Think of how much force it takes to get it sideways.
It's not fun on a track.
LOL

I have always heard they were very heavy (pig's) ..
New Mustangs in general are..

how many times a year do you go to a track??? half the fun is getting it sideways. and i cant find the vid with the zo6...

How ever many times you have taken me...
;-P

Restate that question:

How many times a year would I go to the track if I had a zo6...
(Or a car built for the track)
i.e. 5.0 for the strip. Maybe coming soon
Then I would say A LOT..

I can't see myself getting sideways in many situations if I had a car that could do it.
Leads to bad consequences more times than not..

if your buying a zo6 just because its good at the track. i could build a car for half the price of the zo6 and kill it at a road track. they were saying the zo6 is hard to control once it starts to go sideways. ie. on a road course and your pushing it hard. once the backend starts to get lose it gets kinda dagarous as were the the cobra is alot easier to control. plus that is half the fun anyways. and if your car is fast enough and rwd its gonna go sideways, even in a strait line

so pretty much the corvette is easier to drive, but once you push it, it becomes unpredictable. pick your posion...

and how you gonna tell me about going sideways leads to bad situations??? HOW?? haha out of all those times that we went out and slug the ranger all around and had an effin blast, i cant really remember anytimes that ended bad (except when i went in the creak but i was going strait when i did that) as long as you stay safe and smart about it i dont really see how. plus if you have a bad ass car that can burn then threw 4th, your not gonna try and do some cool burnouts?? your gonna be more likely to lose it in the corvette.

I leave the burn outs to you...
Always have, Always will..

i know your no fun :P
