Just planning ahead for the future. I would've asked this on a corvette forum...but you know I'm going to get the typical mustang bashing response. We have a more diverse group here that appreciates any performance car. Btw, my current dd is a c5 z06 (my first vette).
Anybody here have a decent amount of seat time with both vehicles? I've never driven a c6 z06, so I'm not sure how that car feels in comparison to my c5 z06. I've driven a GT500 (2007) but only briefly. It had a the typical pulley, intake, exhaust, and tune. Car had plenty of grunt, but it was on stock suspension and 20's. Pulled strong, felt like my old terminator, but the chassis wasn't very confidence inspiring and the car felt floaty at about 100mph.
Those are the two cars I'm planning for as my next dd. I love the look of the GT500, it's very mean and muscular looking. I'm also a big fan of FI so I love the torque down low. I'd probably do mild mods to it and put some bigger tires out back since the stockers aren't going to cut it.
The c6 z06 seems like an animal right out of the box (from what I've read). They also get pretty decent fuel economy for a v8 performance car. I've never driven one, so I'm not sure how refined it is or how the power delivery is.
Just looking for some feedback from people with seat time and what their thoughts are. Would they trade one car for the other and etc...
Not looking for a Ford vs Chevy debate or the ricer argument of "well put $10k and a 1000 shot of nitrous and see what happens" type deal. Just looking for some good discussion.
