to be honest zac you should read the time slips cause the ones over 130 mph say there were mods. like weight reduction, and several others, just check it out to be sure dude. wanna make sure the 10 is legit, if so, kick ***. But I wil never spend 150k + for a car when I can build one for under 40 (including price of car)that will spank that *** and still make it to work monday. actuallty give me 25k and I can do it!

Why not get something that will really be a "crowd stopper" like a Ferrari or a Lambo...if your into showing off? I guaran-*******-te that you would get a hell of a lot more looks in a Lambo or a Ferrari than a ******* Ford GT(ITS STILL A FORD).
On a side note...I think its hilarious how Ford has to use FI to be able to hang with a LSX motor. Im pretty much done here, seems like some people on ls1tech need to go to svtperformance so they can dream about blowing carrol shelby...with the other *** clowns there.

On this site as well as in real life we take into acount where the other 70k went on the F-GT.. You will notice that the F-GT is a super car, and the Vette is well, a Vette. You can take the Z06, and I will take the F-GT.. See you at 200+, oh wait no I wont..

That's my point see..
The Vette is ******* baller, but in the end no matter how close it comes to the GT it's still a Vette. The GT is on another level entirely. I've seen more then a few Z06's around, but to see a GT is like finding a unicorn, **** just doesn't happen all the time.

Id take a zo6 over the gt anyday simply because I love the styling of the z better. And for the price that you save with the z I could buy another lsx car. Also the vette is NA supercharge the z and lets go some more rounds.

lets be smart about this... we are talking an 80k corvette... then taking it making it better, lighter, faster... do you NOT think it wont go up in price?

Stock for stock I hate to say it but the GT is faster just by a bit. But who the hell keeps either of these cars stock!
When the Corvette SS (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=108398) comes out, if it does, it will be all over for the ford guys. The Corvette SS will be all carbon fiber and should weigh in about 2800 lbs and be over 600+ hp.
I have seen about 3 GTs around here. One of the GTs in town got beat by a cammed nitrous ws6 pretty bad. The GT owner did seem to be to happy. A cammed nitours c6 z06 made over 700 rwhp at HPE.
Both cars are really bad *** but I think the c6 z06 is an overall better car they can do pretty much anything ie. drifting, le mans racing, drag racing, street racing, etc

having a lot of something is good. keep the price down. if ford could sell as many gt as corvette the price might be cheaper. its all in what you want to be seen in and i want to be seen in a c6z06.

The GT was meant to be a LOW production car unlike the Vette, which is the reason for all the mark ups i believe. As stated by the before posts the GT is just a rare car. Im pretty sure the guy in a GT will still be smiling even if he does get beat by an everyday vette just b/c he knows what he has and wherever he goes people will be drawn to it. just my .002

also, if somebody was to afford a Ford GT im sure they can modify it as well... the whole "i have 70k to mod w/" is a lame *** excuse, almost "ricer"-esque[/QUOTE]
so now it is "ricer" to put money into your car? how much "ricer" esque have you put into your car then? Mr. death by P.S.I.? How "RICER is your car then? so what if some one puts $10 or $70k into there car! if someone put $70k into a mustang would it be rice or nice?
