An insult to ls1's! Wikipedia being biased!

I've seen all the info I need to take note of one ZO6 which ran 11.17 all stock, so it is honestly formidable against anything stock. While I think the ZO6 is better bang for the buck than most true performance cars, I'd rather own a GT because you won't see one everyday. And it will run over 200mph.
This whole thread has made me laugh plenty, but there are some people who can't be reached.
On a side note: You, ponygt65, come off as very arrogant, particularly for evidently, a newbie. I ain't sayin' you're just wrong, but at least take a moment to realize you're hardly perfect, even about Fords. Others may seem ignorant, but at least we may get them clued in at some point. It won't be easy if you act like a jerk at every turn.

"While in production, SVT had codenamed this model the "Terminator", since it was supposed to finally put an end to any competition between the Cobra and the Trans Am / Camaro."
Funny I dont see anything about a Corvette, none the less a Z06...
When it comes to the vette, the only thing the Cobra would "terminate" is their own owners pride when barley being able to see the rear end of a base model C5 on a track (a real track, one with turns).

Apparently you don't. The GT is not easy to drive well. That said, I've seen one run 11.27@ over 130mph on track at Gainesville in July. It was the talk of the afternoon, judging by the announcer, who kept "reminding" everyone that the car was verified as totally stock as a dealer brought it for testing against stock Porsche 911's. Incidentally, it kicked their asses. I looked it over and it looked completely stock, including the window sticker sitting in the seat.

Ranger, the same guy who ran high 11s in a bone stock C5 Z06, ran low 11s in a bone stock C6 Z06, and high 10s with just drag radials...

+1, for example the 03/04 Cobra's aren't even ranked in Nurburgring track times. However, the Ford Focus ST gets in there at the end.

7:42* -- 160.519 km/h – Ford GT, 550 PS/ 1521 kg (*as indicated by Octane magazine, 11/05)
7:42.9 - 160.207 km/h -- Corvette Z06, 500 PS/1319 kg, Jan Magnusen, (Sporbilen, jun,26 05)
The Ford GT can barely squeak by the C6z06.
This thread is entertaining btw.

I replaced every Mustang word with Pusstang and it got changed so fast, and now I'm blocked. I'm appealing it though. I don't care about that liberal media, I just wanted to have some more fun.

Looks like you need to do some research yourself...

Again, research, a stock C6 Z06 has broken 200mph on GPS.

Maybe you can feel better if I also say the "Terminator" name didn't have a thing to do with the Cobra competing with the ZO6??? The Cobra is a "pony" car and the Corvette has always been a true sports car. They are in a totally different area where competition is concerned. That help???

What has this got to do with a GT? NOTHING, of course! I already knew about "Ranger" and his 11.1, which is what I was referencing in my post, hence: 11.17 in the 1st place. Obviously I did my research, albeit, not today.
I never said the ZO6 wouldn't run 200 or more mph. I never even hinted that. I simply listed a reason I like the GT. It had NOTHING ON EARTH to do with the ZO6.

Unlike you, I'm not here to have a pissing contest. Sheesh, get a life, or at least a job requiring use of time for something other than trying to fight on the internet.
I only joined this discussion to clear up the very misinformed fanboys.

I skipped from page 1 to 12 and it is still funny. 88blackgt you need to open up to others ideas alittle more, i remember on a few of my posts you chimed in like you knew what you were talking about when i could see that you really didn't know what you were talking about. Not trying to slam anyone just think its funny how this post started out and how it is now. And btw i think car and driver tested the C6 Z06 against the GT and another car i dont reacal and the Z06 smoked the competition all the way around. Taking a step away from stock i also recall the pontiac G6 outperformed the Z06 and the GT on the track. I dont know where i am going with this just figured id add some imput so someone can call me ignorant or tell me im a moron.

I was gonna drop a comment about that. But you covered that base.

As comparing the FGT to the Z06. Lets take a gander at what car is going up in value and will continue to go up in value. Furthermore the FGT is an instant classic but the FGT will be a legend for many years to come.
