C6 Z06 vs. Ford GT? I was looking at the factory ratings and quarter mile times of the C6 Z06 and the Ford GT and they look pretty close in comparison...the Z06 looks like it has a faster 0-60 time and the quarter mile times (estimated) are almost dead even. What do all you guys think about the C6 Z06 vs the Ford GT? THe Ford GT costs twice as much and the C6 Z06 performs just as well as far as the magazines and reports have it...just wanted to hear from someone else on the subject who might have first hand experience on these two cars...thanks

I have seen both run at the track. I've raced (and killed 
) 3 GT's on the highway.
They are dead even IMO stock for stock in a straight line. I can't comment on
cornering, braking, etc since I have no experience with either vehicle.
I tend to lean towards the Z06 to be the better performer.

nothing 1st hand, but there is a video of the "termin8r" from racingsouthwest.com of him racing a ford GT and he got'em pretty good. His car is an 01-02 SS w/ magic stick cam, LT headers, 200 shot. His other video, he races a C6 Zo6 and beats it also, but not by that great of a margin. So I would say the C6 Zo6 will win by a small margin. For the price difference, I would def. take the Zo6 and build the **** outta it over that stinky ford any day. Also, w/ the amazing dealer mark up on the ford GT, the Zo6 is almost 1/3 the price. Saw one stickered at 189,500(ford GT) .vs. 69,500-73,000(C6Zo6).........

I would be suprised if anybody here has first hand experience with either car yet, let alone both. Both are incredibly hard to get your hands on.
IIRC, Both cars are around 3100lbs (is the GT heavier?) and the GT is rated to have an extra 50hp or so. However with that much power under Your right foot, I'm guessing it's a total driver's race since most people who can afford a GT probably don't know how to really drive it.

I don't know if there is anyone out there (or a member here, for that matter) who has driven both yet. Both are badass cars, I'm thinking the GT might edge the Z06 out in the 1/4 mile though, I've heard of the GT's running 10.9's stock on stock tires - don't know what the truth is behind that though. On a road course, who knows, the Z06 is a few hundred pounds lighter...

a 11.6 @ 126mph. You won't find many more experienced drivers out there.

point...performance.
