You know do love the new Mustang, but I'd still rather have a GM car (thought not a vette
).

Bah! It does not look as comfortable as my C6 (w/Z51)! Nor does it look as sleek and fast!

Looks like a nice car Chomp, but to be honest I'm not really liking the C6 vette-it looks to much like a Dodge Viper for my tastes. I think I like the C5 better, but since the C6 is new-maybe it will grow on me.

I don't like the retractable headlights on the C5... I've heard they are costly to maintain...

Ok then, what are the specs on the Z06? You don't know do you? Because its not out yet. So shut up, and accept it that the pony will be the fastest(even if it beats GM for 15 minutes)

I have heard the same thing about their lights-but I still like the design. But, to be honest-I'm not really a Corvette guy although I can appreciate them.

As a matter of fact, the new Z06 has a 7.0L V8 engine rated at 500hp @ 6200rpm and 475ft/lbs of torque @ 4800rpm. It is true that its not out yet, but I believe the GT500 was just debuted at a car show-which means it won't take to the streets until next year, just like the new Z06.
Plus, the reason they are getting that high of a horsepower rating out of such a small engine and can still run it on pump gas is because it is supercharged. That means that it will have a very large peak of power in the high end, while the Z06 motor (although it does peak at high rpm) will have a lot more midrange power because it has a lot larger displacement.

here are some 2006 z06 stats for you (btw, personally i would rather own the cobra)
The engine is the LS7 7.0-liter/427-cubic-inch Gen IV making 500 bhp @ 6200 rpm and 475 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm with a 7000 rpm redline. the car weighs 3130 lbs and with its 6-speed (connected to an LSD) it can go 0-60mph in 3.9 and complete the quarter in 11.9 sec @ 120 mph. although the new engine is a 427 it is still of a small block design. the differences between the LS2 and the LS7 are: different cylinder block casting, wider bores, front cover, oil pan, exhaust manifolds and cylinder heads. the engine has 11.0:1 compression with a cam that has .591 inch lift and 104.8 mm bores with 101.6 mm of stroke. the car has 18 x 9.5-inch wheels in the front (with 275/35ZR18 goodyear rubber) and out back it has 19 x 12's (with 325/30ZR19 rubber).

Fine just make me look like an ass! Does the Z06 look any better than the C6?
It amazes me that the Pony gets 50hp less with 1.6L less. More efficient engine+supercharger? Not as efficient as my new patented Urine-Powered car though!!!

you decide:
in pictures it looks "ricey-er" (for a vette), but in person it looks awsome
i must say i love the rims on the z06, but give me the new svt in black over the vette!

yah you can get more power out of a smaller engine with forced induction. look at the asian rally cars. the STi and the Evo both get +300 hp out of 2/2.4L 4 bangers
