Damn.....its hard to say but I think the new gt might be able to beat the ls1 powered cars.Well im a chevy guy till death no matter what but I dont know about these mag. peeps.Their the same people who said the gt500 will beat the z06 and the same people who said the gt500kr will beat the zr1.To me they can say what ever they want but I dont believe it till I see it on the street heads up 
Mileage, idc.. I have 106k on my current car with all the squeaks and rattles you can imagine

Wow... Dumb pissing contest thread turned to classified want ad...
Back on track here... According to the dyno that was done, the GT made 390RWHP. So if that's true (which I still won't believe until I see a dyno from a shop here in LA that I know isn't full of ****) that would put the new GT's 1/4 on par with the Cobra. We're talking about the same amount of weight/power between the two. The Cobra would have more torque, but the GT has better gearing.
All things considering, it should definitely beat a Base/Vert C5 stock for stock. I don't believe it has a snow-ball's chance in hell of beating a C5Z stock for stock with identically skilled drivers.

I'd like to know where you guys are getting your numbers from. Wasn't that dyno of the GT done at the same place that dyno'd a GT500 at 510 or so? I like how motortrend says the v-6 puts down 308hp/287tq in the video and they seem to be misleading as if this is wheel numbers. Website says they assume 15% dt loss. Benchracing ftl.

The top like 15 times on that website are on par with the new mustangs, well atleast the top 8, and the mph is there on a few of them...so dont tell me a new stang will WALK a c5 m6....Thats not bench racing or ricer math thats STATS sir...
Then to the one who said they would be close to a c6 http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...l?forum_id=101

Is the corvette list supposed to tell us anything? That list means nothing for average times.

Well I understand that I was just saying there is a potential for a drivers race...Still 110-111 is what the new GT traps i thought...? Im not saying the new GT isnt faster in general...but a great driver in a c5 will be a good race for an avg driver in a GT

A great driver in a C5 and an average/below driver in a GT will be a good run. No offense, who cares?
A bad driver in a Zo6 and a great driver in an fbody and it would be a decent race, does that make it a drivers race?

No that doesnt make it a drivers race between a c5z and fbody ur talking about a car that traps 106 or so vs one that traps 117. Thats not a drivers race at all 108-110 vs a 110-111 car is alot closer to being classified as a drivers race...Either way the new stang is Bad Azz, And i despise stangs
