Gt500 got destroyed as expected. Thats gotta be the sorryest car on the road for its actual speed vs hp rateing.
You did well against the gtr. They dyno 390-410 awhp stock so if this one was truly tune only then its a solid 450 awhp car that trapps 122-125 mph just like a stock 12 gtr at 450 awhp.
Honorable death

Funny you should say it but its been creeping in my mind to trade the vette in for a lightly used 11+ gt500 or pick up a new 5.slow... Lol
Regarding the death to the gtr, i agree, i think it was a respectable death... Lol... Those damn cars are too damn good... To bad they disnt make them more exotic looking.... Still would take one in a heart beat!

I get what you are saying but if we are going to compare weights then lets just stick to comparing manufacturer curb weights... Istead of talking about full gas tanks, steroes and whatever other variables that are up to that driver...
Sup mein!

Im not a fan of bosses, personally i think that they look terrible.... Im leaning more and more towards the 5.slow.... They are very cheap, perform very well and look great with just a drop...

my buddies 01 Z06 was 3160 with LTs no cats, Borla Stingers, Coilovers instead of leaf springs, and full tank of gas. So Zyborg estimate is prolly pretty close for his weight

I couldnt go from a z06 to a mustang personally. Let me rephrase that.
What the hell you been smokin. Your driving a bonafied dream car.Id be a liar if I said my heart didnt skip a beat the last time a red c5z wanted a peice of my viper.
Go get a 06z for 38k and call it a day. If you really need a back seat then hold out a lil and get a 08 gtr for 55k. Theve dropped in value since the 12s came out.
5.0.......hell no. Thats a big step down from a z. In your case likely the fastest bolt on c5z in the country as far as street cred

Now ill explain it like this,
I have had the vette for a while and its getting up there in mileage. It has exceeded my expectations but im growing a little bored with it and tired of it high maintenance.
I started this game with a mustang, so i have a lot of love for a properly set up and clean one.
The 5.slow offers many options and benefits to me being that i could get it brand new. It is fairly cheap, easy to mantain and work on yourself. Its not as high maintenance as some of the cars you mentioned. But it is still a good looking car if done right.
The main thing is that i want a car that i can daily drive, drive cross country and do everything with. Something that i can rip into while at the same time not putting a hole in my wallet.
Im not saying im going to do it just that the though has been crossig my mind...

I thought about getting something else...but then I drove my car and immediately was disappointed in myself for letting my mind come up with such a bad idea. Zyborg, your next move should either be forced induction or C6Z...but its your money

Well when decision time comes, you know where to send that Z....to this guy! LOL...I've always wanted one of those. Just can't see myself parting with my 86 TA anytime soon.
So you went downhill....and then went even more downhill?
