IMO if you want a NEW car with a warrenty for 30ish K.. GT and leave it alone.. if you are going to mod it and void the warrenty.. what does newer really give you?
my vette NEW was stickered @ 56ish K.. 3lt z51 fully loaded. it was bought for 46-48ish and i bought it 1 year old with 20k on it for 37. you could get a BASE 1lt for 42k new but i didnt what a base model so i paid a little more for a 1 year old loaded one.

that being said.. IMO its Far nicer and far "more car" than a new 5.0 or boss, and while the new GT500 would beat stock ls3, they are going for 54+k and besides being faster i STILL think the vette is a nicer car.

if you are going to mod it all of that really means not a damn thing.. HP for HP the c6 always seems to out perform the mustang.

Yea, it should...the weight difference is so much of a deficit to overcome for a 5.0

But you know how to drive And I am sure that iron block is making substantial power, is it not?

Everything you need to know about the C6 Z06 and what it's capable of you can learn from "Ranger" on the Vette forum and/or his Youtube channel. That guy has forgotten more about driving than most people know.
