[QUOTE="ChiSVT, post: 10236211, member: 28706"] It's personal opinion. On that budget you will be buying a used car vs a brand new GT500. The new 2011 GT500s are more impressive than the previous ones. They're lighter more balanced, pull 1.00Gs on a skidpad and brake quicker than the previous GT500s. That's bone stock with just tires. [youtube_browser]VAKgviKzOjs[/youtube_browser] I believe he's since gone quicker, around 11.2s and still stock. The GT500 is a big pony car with backseats and a lot more trunk space. It's not very low to the ground and the suspension is actually not stiff at all. It feels like a touring car more than anything else. It also creates a different type of powerband that hits hard down low with short gearing, (3.73 package). A Z06 is just a beast, it handles a lot better, brakes shorter and it's faster. Very tall gearing going past 60mph in 1st gear and with a different type of powerband, (if you like to do 60mph rolling start races it sure loves those!). While it has all the creature comforts and available options of any luxury car, it is a much smaller, true 2 seater sports car. Really a completely different animal, get in one and it feels like you're sitting on the ground. It's a true sports car, whereas a GT500 is just a very well performing pony car. The suspension on the Z06 is also very stiff. If you get a chance drive a non-z51 C6, then a Z51 c6 and then a C6 Z06. There is a huge difference in ride quality. [/QUOTE]
