[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16309845, member: 138028"] I never liked the C5Z...………..not a fan. The C6Z was where it's at when they came out however I didn't bite till they had a couple years of production in and I was not going to spend the new cash on a C6Z with just a boring plastic interior dash and door panels. I went in full gusto with the full load leather interior. The only way to roll IMO. The LS7 thing is all about the legendary cubes of being a 7.0 (427 cid engine) and the cyl. head thing...…………..it is what it is. I've done my heads and since it's apart obviously I had to throw a cam in. A lot of guys overcam and throw major lift in there and with that aggressive 1.8 rocker ratio + the angled intake rocker the guide wear is going to be there. Probably a flawed design from GM but if you build them right and not too crazy they are reliable and rarely have issues. 5.0 SBF engines have been around for AGES, so the costs to mod that engine is going to be way cheaper than trying to mod a LS7 that's only been out like 4-5 years after 06 and probably when people start having the itch or problem to need to mod/fix their 7.0 engines so can't really compare, and when you mention Corvette for anything parts related...…………..bend over and open the wallet...………….you gotta pay to play with a car like this and it won't be any different with this new Shelby or even any Shelby parts costs are CRAZY!!!!!! Rear brakes on new GT500 are 14.5" (16.5" F) so pretty big for rear brakes (the rear brakes on the ZR is 15" and 15.5" F but you know they are CC so huge and lighter weight obviously than any Mustang brake system). Like I said before, and you are correct to lose the weight you are talking about yes you need to strip the crap out of the car. If someone has the means and is using the car to track hey by all means go for it. I'm just saying the majority that will buy this car WILL NOT be going that far and yanking everything out just to not have the car weigh 4XXXlbs. I'm certainly not stripping out my fully loaded ZR1 interior just to have a lighter car it shows up from GM with what it has and I'm not touching it (at least not yet, not when it's new...……….talk to me in a couple years and my mindset might change). All I want to see from this Shelby is the usual figures every car nut wants to see and not just a weight and 0-100-0 times 10 months after they cable dropped the car from the rafters at the NAIAS back in January. I mean Chevy with the ZR1 intro in Dubai in late 2017 and C8 out in Cali back in July most everything people wanted to know about the performance stats were released...………...no f-ing idea why Ford did what they did with this GT500...………...madness!!!!!
