2016 Mustang GT350 or a 2015 Corvette ZO6

[TorchMach]

As the title shows. Which would you rather get of the two?

I know the Z06 is in a different price range but I feel from a performance enthusiast standpoint and someone shopping for a sports car. These two might be in the conversation on which to go with. (I'm not shopping for either; just thought it would be a good topic)

 

[TorchMach]

Also, anyone know when the Z06's will start being delivered?

 

[RedRocketMike]

I voted z06 but I think for the price GT350 will be a better car, assuming it is around 60k.

 

[BladeX10]

Z06 by far

 

[Never_Enough]

This is not even a question. Z06. Period.

 

[Never_Enough]

I voted z06 but I think for the price GT350 will be a better car, assuming it is around 60k.

In what way, having a back seat?

 

[sunnyd09]

Not a fair comparison since they're in two different price ranges, but I'd take the z06.

The new Z06 has evolved a bit away from a track bread car. It's still more than capable, but if I was looking for something that was going to be a track toy, I'd probably be looking at the GT350 or the Z/28.

With that said, the wife and I are looking at ordering a 1LZ z06 once the hype and dealer adjustments calm down on them. The z is likely the better "all arrounder" of the two.

 

[Zemedici]

Z06. hands down.

 

[HISSMAN]

Z06 is going to most likely be another $25K-$30K more expensive when comparing base models. It's a GT350 for me. I strayed away from Ford for my last two hotrods, I won't make that mistake again.

 

[roadracer247]

Z06 without a doubt.

 

[TorchMach]

ZO6 seems to be the pretty much what everyone is going with. I voted ZO6 myself, it just looks so awesome. I would get regular breaks though, no need for ceramics if 75% of driving would be street driving if we're being honest.

 

[RedRocketMike]

In what way, having a back seat?

That I didn't take that into consideration. When you get to a certain point with horsepower and rear wheel drive you end up with a car that is difficult to use in a meaningful way. The Z06 is badass, I did say I picked it. But it seems like a car that will create a lot "oh shit" moments for people. Depending on the price the I think the GT350 could offer an overall package that provides the driver a better return on their "investment" I find the engine alone to be much more interesting than what is in the Vette.

 

[Serpent]

With regards to back seat, then the GT350.

Otherwise, I don't think there is one performance aspect that would make a GT350 even close. C7Z all the way. Can't wait to hear how both cars respond to mods.

It depends on what one planned on doing with it.

If it were for a track car I'd go with the 350 simply because it's cheaper and you could dump the savings into tires, fuel, and other supporting expenses. Or you could buy the 350 for the street and dump the rest of the money into a faster used track specific beater or better yet a faster shifter kart with money left over.

If it were for nothing but street use, which is what 99.9% of the people on here do I'd go with the Z06.

This is not even a question. Z06. Period.

yes and yes.

Even though it is more expensive at $78k base..its not even a fair choice. Zo6 all the way.

 

[Stateguy]

Zo6, if I wanted a real backseat I'd pick up a Hellcat Charger.

 

[thomas91169]

C7Z but these are two very dissimilar options.

 

[black92]

I would pick the GT350 because I would make use of the back seats and the car itself is more than enough.
