Re: Anybody thinking about buying a new ZO6 Corvette?

You may not want to hear this but the new 39,000.00 dollar Shelby GT500 Mustangs may give the new ZO6 a run for the money...

No friggin' way...the Mustang is giving up WAY to much weight, and while you can slap on a supercharger you still have to tune it, but you don't have to tune weight...it's free horsepower, all the time, not dependant on the weather, rpm, gearing, etc. The 'Vette also has a MUCH better front/rear weight bias, lower CG, etc., etc., etc...the list goes on and on. While that sounds like a knock on the Mustang, it's not, 'cause I'm sure Ford will sell all they make, but it and the ZO6 are aimed at entirely different markets. The Ford GT (40), on the other hand, was aimed dead at the General's flagship car, and had it dead in it's sights...but I think the whole "gajillion dollar markup followed by a total recall" fiasco is gonna take quite a bit of wind out of their sales...
