What do all you guys think about the C6 Z06 vs the Ford GT? THe Ford GT costs twice as much and the C6 Z06 performs just as well as far as the magazines and reports have it...just wanted to hear from someone else on the subject who might have first hand experience on these two cars...thanks

The Mercury Marauder guys were racing them not too long ago at the track. Believe it or not they were actually beating the GT but from reading it looks like the GT was having problems
BTW poor ford GT..
Here's the article
http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...6&page=1&pp=15
The Marauder won. No kidding, I'm serious.
Marauder = 11.5
Ford GT = 11.9
Another run:
Marauder = 11.9
Ford GT = 12.3
BTW poor ford GT..

GT can safely rev to 7,000rpm...not sure about the Z06.

Since I've raced a bunch of GT's, that doesn't quite fit the "fantasy racing"
mold. I'll have to wait 'til spring before I *** whoop some Z06's.
Shouldbe fun though.

Somebody said something about the Z06 Redline. So I looked it up here is some info...
Most impressive is the new "LS7" 7.0-liter/427-cubic-inch Gen IV V-8 with lightweight reciprocating components that was directly lifted from the all-conquering C5-R. This small-block 427, which will be hand built at GM Powertrain's new Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI, delivers 500 horsepower at 6200 rpm, 475 lb.-ft. of torque at 4800 rpm, has an 11.0:1 compression ratio and a 7000 rpm redline, and features titanium connecting rods and intake valves, and a dry-sump engine lubrication system.

Those two machines suppose to performed as well in 1/4mile but there is a slight edge that Z06 might passed the finish-line first due the weight advantage..just my .02
