i think you confusing the term purpose built here. purpose built is what the GT500 does at the drag only. god forbid the Z slacks in one area, and still isnt to shabby their imo...
the Z is basically in the form of a supercar's direction, without a name to lean on like lambo, ferrari or whatever, and build quality also, but your arguing the 31k price difference like all that money was devoted to making the Z a drag car only.:shrug: it isnt restricted to one area
Never said that. But you must admit little [but expensive] things like carbon fiber weight reduction help in more than just one area. Designing a sports car from the ground up allows for proper weight distribution etc. Those things help with acceleration no matter what kind of track the Z is on.
The GT 500 is just a pony car with a nice engine and tranny and lots of potential. That is the reason it can be sold for 31K less than the Z. That is also the reason the Z has a big built in advantage. As I said before in general it takes money to make a car go really fast. That money can be spent before the car hits the showroom floor or after it leaves the showroom floor or both. You can start bragging about the Z when their opponents have the same amount of go fast money invested and the Z still out performs them. Z06 are very nice cars and I will probably buy one soon. Z06 can be beat it just takes 125-150 more horsepower to the ground than the Z06 has to compensate for the weight advantage. Fortunately that isn't all that hard to do with forced induction.
