C7 Z06: engine horsepower/torque leak

[cool cat]

Less power, more torque and will no doubt weigh less.

So, it has less horsepower than the GT500? That's adorable..

Whole lot less weight too.. Better handling, better looks, just all round mo betta..

Yeah, but I bet the GT500 is cheaper, so you'll have mod money left over..

Still a mustang at the end of the day, pulley and tune for the vette wont cost much..


Fox and 5k right? ford/brand nuthuggers suck

A Mustang that can murder some supercars..

Theres isnt enough mod money to fix the rear suspension or weight problem of the gt500. It already has trouble with stingrays, a new z06 is going to destroy it.

Plus we all know how well GM engines respond to mods. The new LTs are no different.

Ford engines don't respond well to mods?

I just have a hard time getting excited over any motor that starts with LT. Really wish GM didn't go back to that.

You're talking about the Fox + $5k, right?

Please quote me where I mentioned anything about Ford engines not responding well to mods.

I guess with comments like the GT500 is having problems with Sting Rays, rear end woes and weight you make it seem like the new GT500 won't be a pully, exhaust and tune away from a drivers race. The '14 GT500's with a KB, full exhaust and tune will make almost 1k hp to wheels on 93 octane, should be plenty enough for the new Z-ohslut...

New vette still looks ugly IMO

When I said it had problems with Sting Rays, I was referring to more than just straight line speed. A z51 c7 is simply better in every category minus that.

And the new z06 is going to embarass the GT500. But it should....I highly doubt the c7 z is going to have a sticker price under $90k.
