Yes, the Z06 will be more. That's why i don't own a Z06 or a Vette. The bottom line is the Shelby 07 will cost as much as a vette or close to it. Out of my price range. IMO 25k-32k in todays dollars is muscle car territory. The Mustang 05 GT is a good example. Great looking and affordable.

however comparing a vett and a stang is silly, the cobra bang for the buck is great, but as stated befor the power to driver ratio isnt there, many cobra owners embarris the name and make 450-500 rwhp and are running 11.!!! thats 10 second teritory. but IMO, most of it is the poor power curve and driver error.
like i said, to bad ford owns, but i have a feeling GM will rise again.

I think the reason u see 450-500rwhp cobras in the 11's is because of the IRS. Like myself, with 470rwhp and only 11.52 times, of course i have only ran it a total of 5 times. But, with the IRS and stock 3.55's gears it tough. I could use a steeper gear for sure, but that means a solid rear, or a gear swap in the IRS(lots of $$$). This is the case for most other cobra owners as well. All the FAST cobras out there have long sense ditched the IRS.
