I was undecided until yesturday. I've seen a new viper in town (VERY nice). There are 2 GTs around here that I've gotten a good look at ( ). But yesturday I ran into a dark blue C6 Z06 ( ) I was in love. They aren't as exotic as the GT and Viper, and the performance isn't quiet as good as the GT from what I understand, but DAAAAMN that Z06 was gorgeouse. Maybe I'm just to much of a BowTie Boy, but my vote goes for the Z06. I'm not a big fan of yellow, but for some reason the pics are all over. Let's see some blue, black, or red.

I love that new ZO6, hands down. Best bang for the buck for sure and with a little tweaking, you can hang with the most exotic supercars on the planet and when this guy's bigger brother debuts in the near future, you can best believe the bar is going to be raised for what a supercar should be (or something like that lol).

Drove the Viper...hella fun, but I'm a V8 guy. The Ford GT is badass, but the Vette and the Viper both look better to me and perform almost as well for a huge fraction of the price (265k?????? stickers at 149k??????? stealerships are on crack!!!)

anywho, Vette, Viper, GT

And who said something about the Vette being faster?

A small block V-10 will always out Muscle a small block V-8.
The LS7 has HIGH compression and a S/C or TT's would for sure pop the bottom end.
I've seen guys put TT's on them SRT's and get over 800 Reliable Hp.
The Viper has been making close to 500 Hp for years, and Im thinking Dodge could get 625 horse out of that V-10.
Well apparently, the small block V8 equaled the V-10. I believe Motor Trend dynoed both and came up with 530 flywheel for both. That's with 2 less cylinders and ~75 less cubes. Hardly out musceling. The GT was closer to 600 flywheel.

That said, I like them all and would take them all, but it'd be the Z06 first, followed by the Viper then the GT.

From the times I've seen, the GT and Z06 are very close in lap times -- if the Z06 came with something besides runflats, it would probably turn faster lap times. 7:42 at Nurburgring on runflats aint too bad though

Yeah, but if the Saleen was allowed, so would the Mosler... and you know how that would end... Plus I think the LPE and Hennessey editions of the original vehicles should be considered the winners, but that's just my opinion...

Vette,GT, Viper.
I have the magazine at home with this comparison and I think the GT beat the Z06 by 1/10th second in the quarter and 1/10th 0-60. The Z06 won everything thing else and beat the viper in everything.
as tested price I believe was 70,000 for the Z06 and 170,000 for the GT.

Z06 without question

GT is a bit faster stock but overpriced for what it gives you.

You get like another 100hp on the Z06 just by doing headers and a cam

and how much do you think a GT can make with smaller pulley, headers, and cam?

or should i say, for the GT you can spend an extra ~4k and get a lil over 130 more rwhp (w/out cam and headers), with just 4psi more boost....that along with the addition of headers pulls my vote

...because why now? If you bought a Z06 for 70K, that leaves you 100K left to do mods compared to the GT. I'll take the Chevy or the Viper thank you.

People who buy a C6 ZO6 or a GT are not worried about finding the cheapest route to the mods with the best gains!

besides, a mid engine car feels amazing...regardless if the zo6 can beat it around the track or not. the FGT is timeless and thats what people are buying for the most part, a piece of history.

The GT made history; the Z06 is making history.
