I don't know what the GT500 dyno's at off the showroom floor but I have seen 2 dyno at 500rwhp with just a tune but its still not a formidable opponent for the new Z06. For the money I would take the Z06 anyday but then again I don't like mustangs.

MSRP is $43K for a GT500, which is more than fair for what you get.
The Z06 is in another price bracket.

Nothing wrong with having your own opinion. Every ******* has one.
You have two choices: present your opinions in a civilized manner
or leave. Pretty cut and dry...

man i see all the ford dealers jack the price up on that gt 500 to around 65k,so MSRP is low but dealer markup is ridiculous from what i've seen and heard...GT500's are over rated and over priced,they look nice though,i rather have a 03-04 cobra if was getting a ford...also the TA was had no FI,thats ridiculous,especially with an extra 500 pounds from the two fat boys drivin

Thats the way I see it.

****Disclaimer--Strong howbeit researched and factual personal opinions to follow****

I don't think an NA LS1 is a good match for a Shelby at all. Mod for mod, that thing has a lot more potential. It starts with more power, and mod for mod will wind up with more power.Weight aside... Street rolls aint the place to beat em, trap speeds are pretty hot on those things factory. Traction being a non issue, they are capable of a mid 12 from the showroom floor.

Fellas, the Ell Ess Juan is getting old. Might have to let this round go to the Ford boys. I get my chuckles over the fact they couldnt do it NA, and the years of abuse the Fbody piled on the poor Stang.

rofl, that's good stuff there!

Do you think you could get it to hit 230mph? I just thing after 200mph, the f-body is going to have a hard time with it's aerodynamics.

What kind of numbers do you put down? How much boost?

Your STS Camaro is f-ing sick!

The Z06 is about 5-600lbs LIGHTER then a GT500. Even the Mustang guys will say that a 500rwhp GT500 doesn't stand a chance against a stock Z06. Weight to horsepower ratio.

I was so disappointed when I saw the 1st road test with the GT500's what the hell high 12's maybe if your lucky mid 12's the damn SC cobra's it replaced ran that well. **** I've seen people in nearly stock mach 1's run 12.7.

Stickies and a good driver = much better times. If I remember right, 9's have been achieved with some suspension work, pulley, and a small shot of nitrous. They have huge potential. Don't underestimate them.
