Gt vs z06
Some of you kids are so damn biased it's silly.

if you hate the z06 so much then dont buy one and go pick up your f1 mclaren instead...
As far as "not v8s", off the top of my head, I'd say they also are all of smaller displacement. Except for the Viper, anyway. But whats displacament in the real world? Nothing. Who cares. Trying to flame the guy with the stock GT because he got run down by a *modded* Z06 is laughable, at best. Especially wth his "one metric ton" wife. I could light up the Z06 for a few thousand bucks, point being? Theres a bit more to being a *supercar* than just being fast. Exclusivity plays a fairly large role. I'm sure some guy cruising around in a 360 Modena or something feels really bad after being lit up by a C5 Z06. Yea, right. Like he gives a hoot.
LT1 - are you even reading this thread? Whos shitting on the Z06 in every aspect? Where are there *feelings* short of the looks of the car? Pay attention. The list of cars I mentioned, while yes, are quite expensive; theres any given number of cars prowling the streets on Friday and Saturday nights, N/A, that make a shitload more than 500HP. Yea, while some might not handle well, might not pass smog, nor might they idle smoothly...but so what? They sure as hell didn't cost as much. The same argument can be made with the Z06 vs any other "refined" supercar. The cost argument is kind of ridiculous in this situation.
So while the Z06 could possibly qualify to be a supercar, in performance alone, it sure is one of the ugliest. Kinda like the Veyron. And the Koenigsegg. Ugly.
The C5 Z06 was just a better looking car. Slower, yes, but better looking. Even with it's now "dated" styling. It looked exotic. It looked sleek and sexy. The C6 Z06 looks like, well, what once was a hot sexy model as a C5, is now a ripped, steroid injected female body builder with arms bigger than your head.
I don't really dig the standard C6 much at all. The Z06 just goes over the top.
Personally, I think it would look a TON better with a classier grill, have the rear brake ducts done up llike the C5 Z06, and in FRC form. The cheesy air deflectors around the wheelwells just scream cheap plastic, as well. Functional, yes... but they look like cheap mudflaps.
Then again, my changes would hurt overall performance, too. Guess I'm ricey. LOL
