the power to weight ratio sucks. i dont see how someone could disagree...
500hp boosted ? with money most boosted v8 engine combos are capable of that. now the OP has taken a car that started out with 350hp give or take and turned it into something that can kill fords top of the line mustang.thats something.

You mean comparing a stock car to a modded one? Yea, i guess you do, which as the others posts, makes no sense....

STICKER PRICE for a gt500 is 42k. granted its hard to get one at that price but a c6 z06 sticker is much higher. your comparing apples to oranges. no to hate on the vette tho the new c6 z06 is like sex on wheels

The Mustang in no way shape or form has never been competition for the Corvette. Arguably the 911 has always been more competition than the Mustang. There two completely different classes of cars. I work for Ford and I would rather have an LS3 Corvette than even paying $5,000 over sticker for the one sitting on my showroom. The only reason I would consider one is because I have a kid now and the Vette doesn't have a back seat.

I agree about stang competing with vette. But, as a stang guy, I actually take it as an honor that stangs do get compared.
And I have said it a million times...location plays a HUGE part is dealer mark up. Case in point....you can't get a gt500 OR a C6ZO6 for MSRP around here...BOTH are marked up. But, this is CA.
