I have rode in a few and in a lower gear such as 2nd I could see him spinning at 55-60mph just cause stock tires can't handle the power. But to be fishtailing at 100 must been doing some spirited driving.

All gt500s have one thing in common: pro 13s.

Not to start a flamewar but I have yet to see one run worth a damn. Drove some of the older ones and they seemed slow but that could be due to the car being very heavy.

I was never impressed with the pre 2011 ones when they still came with 500hp andf then they got a bump in power and some much needed weight reduction.

Lmao. I didn't mean literally fishtailing like losing control. I meant It felt real light at 100 and the back feels like it's about to fishtail, sorry for the misunderstanding! My dad is definitely used to the z06. He sold the rustang and got a $1500 profit out of it. he is looking for a newer z06 now.

I hear alot about the Gt500 having alot of traction issues. I drove a bone stock 08 and honestly first gear acceleration had wheel spin not alot and every gear after that it did just fine. Maybe people have an issue with it when they up the power or pop the clutch or something. I have to admit i do love the way they look.

Curious to see that rematch with 2013 650 HP gt500. But then it's all about who can get the power to the ground!

We are car wholesalers. If we find a car we like, like the evo and the z06, we'll keep it.

so....

you saw a gt500, you liked it, you bought it, did all the paper work and transfered it into your name and paid all the taxes and all that, and then raced your z06, and then decided to sell it when it couldnt win because you were too busy spinning at 100mph, so then you found a buyer the very next day, and sold it the exact same day, doing all the paper work again, and then came out with a $1500 profit........................................



cool story bro.

Lame attempt at a thread in my opinion. None of it makes sense, at all. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck...
