GT500 or Z06

[ROCK]

Guys, I need a decision by Monday: Red/White GT500 or Yellow Z-06. I ordered both, but can only buy one. Other cars are: '01 996TT (red) and F-GT (red/white). Both I had since new and plan to keep them f-ever and pass them on to my kids. Thanks.

[Roadtrip]

Well since the 996 is a 4 seater, you have that covered. Is the GT500 a convertible? If so, thats what I would get, then you would have a nice rounded collection of fun drivers for any occasion.

[ROCMAN]

Daily driver: GT500
1/4 Mile Car: GT500
Road coarse car: Z06
Keep stock: Z06

Calling a 996 a four seater is a stretch:wink

Calling a 996 a four seater is a stretch:wink

Heheh, true... But closer to a four seater than the Vette :biggrin

[snaproll]

This is what I call a high class problem :)

I checked out a Z06 today with the nav sys. I consider myself a mustang guy and I'd say the Z06 is a no brainer over that fat ass shelby imho.

bbYOU CHECKED OUT THE NAV SYSTEM ON THE Z06???? YOU MIGHT BE ON THE WRONG FORUM:rofl

[ROCK]

The GT500 is a coupe.
No, the TT is not a 4 seater anymore, my kids are 13 and 14.
The Z is 30k more, like the power, but not the looks that much.
Someone suggested to get the GT500 and mod it ???

What's Ford planning to keep up w/competition ? Anyone knows?
There's a pretty good market for hi performance cars out there...

[MK2_GT]

I would choose (and did) The GT500

You will get twice the looks and twice the practicality. The Z06 is an awesome car but they are coming out with the blue devil shortly. At least you know the GT500 will be the GT500 for at least 3 years.

You can also put the wife and the kids in the GT500.

What I would really do is sell the 996TT and get them both...all American muscle!

[OCPETE]

Got an '02 Z since the latest greatest bad boy on the block...bitchian cars but watch that C6 Z depreciate....then snatch one up from some old fart with almost no miles @ fractions off the sticker :cool

ZO6 with a nav sys?? A most functional piece of equipment, kind of like a four slice toaster. And the Z06 will generate as much excitement on the street as Chevrolet's equally soul-less Impala. Mustang guy? Fat ass Shelby?? Wrong on both counts. My GT generates lots of excitement wherever I take it. My new Shelby Mustang and my old Shelby Cobra do the same. People love those cars and they draw crowds. My last Corvette generated NONE, ZIP, ZERO. It was a great handeling, hard accelerating four slice toaster.:thumbsdow It had no soul. I've probably done over 10,000 snaprolls in my aerobatic carreer. I have over 2000 aerobatic hours in Pitts, Extra, Sukkoi, Caps, and Edge aircraft. I have landed all of them at small airports all over the U.S. The monoplanes are like the Z06, faster handleing, higher G, faster, and soulless. The plane that is the most fun to fly is the one with history, the Pitts Special. It's also the one that generates the biggest buzz on the ramp. Everybody comes out to see it. If you want the best handleing street legal car, skip the fat ass Corvette with nav sys and get a Lotus. If you want something that makes you and everybody else smile every time you drive it, buy a Shelby....or a Pitts Special.:biggrin :thumbsup :banana

[snaproll]

Yeah, I know it sounds kinda soft, but with a few completely impractical 500 and 600hp cars in my garage, a factory ride with luggage space, 505hp, dry sump, near FGT performance, a reasonable price, warranty and even a computer that tells you what direction to get to the track looks great to me. Never thought I'd admit it, but damn, the car is still badass and light with all the options. Why not get the toys? As much as I'd like to be, you can't always be wide open through the apex . . .

Yeah, OK, you're right and I'm wrong . . . I'm sure NOBODY appreciates a c6 Z06. Whatever you say. Yes, I'm a "mustang guy" with a well tracked 00R in the garage (my 2nd 00R), an 88 with 520 at the wheels, and a minor road racing career started in racing and winning in mustangs. I've owned enough mustangs to lose count. So, excuse me for pointing out the fact that the shelby is a heavy car that is no match for a Z51 let alone a Z06, that's all. I like the car, really, I do. I guess I like toasters too.

As a ford enthusiast, it's a shame that the best ford can do is kill SVT and supply an expensive 4,000lb car with a live axle that can't approach the PERFORMANCE of GM's efforts. If ford sold cars that were inspiring, they wouldn't be a broke future subsidiary of Nissan. Only a few of us are lucky enough to be able afford an FGT. Fortunately for ford, most buyers aren't worried about the road course or world class performance and the mustang sells well.

Oh, I'm a 6,000 hour ATP and aviation professional with a few snaprolls in my career too :biggrin So if we're going to draw the airplane analogy then we can both romanticize all day long but don't tell me that pilots don't appreciate a Sukhoi. It is a winner after all and isn't winning what gave the GT it's heritage? I agree, you have to love them, but how many world aerobatic championships have been won in a Pitts lately? :wink

cheers,

bruce

[Kirby Vieira]

Either car is a great choice. In the case of the Z06, a 2007 is a totally different car from the 2006 and earlier models. It is truly a race car with the amenities of a luxury car.

[Sal Z]

No Brainer....

GT500...:thumbsdow

Z06 5year, 100,000 mile warranty..:thumbsup

Beat it to death... and Enjoy..

[everetto]

Absolute no-brainer. The stock Z hangs right in there with our stock FGTs (yes I own/owned both). A stock GT500 is not even in the same league in any category (brakes, handling, ride, suspension, power). The GT500 is easy to mod, and you will have to to come close to stock Z's. If the two-seat thing bothers you then the choice is clear, but the Z can haul a lot of stuff in the back, so road trips are a dream (and 27 to 28mpg at 80mph can't be touched by any other performance car out there). As far as Z's not getting any looks - that was not my experience at all - those who know the subtle differences between the Z and the base C6 go out of their way to acknowledge the Z.

[californiacuda]

Z06 3100lbs, 50-50 weight distribution, drag coefficient .34, low cg, fantastic stock handling.

Shelby gt 4klbs, substantially nose heavy, drag coefficient .39, high cg, mediocre handling.

I guess it depends on what your looking for, a great sports car, or a heavy production vehicle with a legend's name on it.

[DBK]

Shelby gt 4klbs

FYI...I know someone who has weighed their Shelby with the stereo that has the heavier sub and a 3/4 full tank and it weighed 3850 on the scales. Ask anyone who owns one, it drives like a car that weighs much less.

You really have to quantify what you want the car for. One is a muscle car, one is a world class sports car. One costs 70, one costs 45. One has 4 seats, one has two. Personally, I had an order for a C6 Z for a long time intending to trade my C5 Z for one. I canceled it when they showed what it looked like.

My guess is that with a 996TT and FGT already, your choice will have less to do with which one fills up a stat sheet and more to do with which one you really want.

[ROCMAN]

I have had 2 different Z06's, and I loved them, for about 2 months, both times. They get boring, and the build quality lacks. Yes, the C6Z performs great, but I have been down the Z06 road before, and probably will not go down it again. I never say never, but I doubt it.

Also, they are far from collector cars, so when you want to get rid of it, prepare for a low blow. I lost over $50K on my last Z with only 6K miles. That is enough to sour the taste!

The Shelby, it is nice, but it is still a mustang. My wife likes them, and I like the look, but I got into my moms mustang GT to back it out of our driveway, and I barely fit. It reminded me of those little old ladies that drive so close to the steering wheel that it looks like they are having a mammogram.:biggrin

With all that said, the next one I can see in my driveway is a Shelby, cuz my wife likes it and she said "NO MORE VETTES", and I always listen to my wife.:wink

[DBK]

With all that said, the next one I can see in my driveway is a Shelby, cuz my wife likes it and she said "NO MORE VETTES", and I always listen to my wife.:wink

We are carbon copies on that front. My soon-to-be wife keeps bugging me to buy a Shelby so she can secretly appropriate it for herself. She was never a fan of my Vettes, and was exceedingly happy I was displeased with the look of the C6 Z.

[KMCBOSS]

Never owned a vett - been a Ford blue guy since I was 20. With that said, I would get the GT500 and not just because I had to wait 8 months to get mine!!! Stepping into a vett would be easy - good luck trying to order a Shelby GT500.

[Empty Pockets]

Re: the ZO6 ... this is a weee bit off the subject here, but, just out of curiousity, am I the only guy in the country who thinks the C6 ZO6 (and all C6's for that matter) is just SCREAMING for a "split" rear window ala 1963??????:shrug

[PeakCompletions]

Well, to really stir the pot... skip on both and buy a viper :willy :willy

We went cruising the other day, my Blue and White GTS, My buddies Yellow and Black GTS, and another buddy's new Red and White Shelby. Passed some friends who met up with us earlier. When asked what they thought of the Shelby they had not even noticed it....
Neat car, and I am tempted as well... but comparing my Z06 to my new coupe... I am really enjoying the viper.

Given your choice though, go with the Z.

just my .02$ :cheers

[FORDGT001]

My 07Z is a better performer no question. But the Z is Boring as stated earlier mine barely draws any attention its too close to a regular C6. My 07 GT500 draws alot of attention has more room then the Z including a backseat and has a 500HP Blown Motor and wears the Shelby badge. The Z will soon be eclipsed badly by the Blue Devil(it will be the Vette to have), The GT500 may well be one of Shelby's last cars because of his age. I have no problem with the peformance of my GT500 it runs strong considering the weight difference.

[timcantwell]

No, the TT is not a 4 seater anymore, my kids are 13 and 14.

I just picked up a red/white Shelby GT500 a few weeks ago. I have a Porsche GT3, and more than a dozen other exotic and muscle cars. For what it's worth, I consider the Shelby and the ZO6 to be very different animals. My opinion is that you may find the Z06 to be slightly redundant with your other cars. The Shelby is far more practical, as you can fold down the rear seats and haul top-soil if you need to (an exageration), bring two adults along with you in the back seat comfortably, all in a package that is fast, smooth, and comfortable. Plus, for not a lot of money, you can add the pulley and tune and push over 540 HP to the rear wheels (Over 600 at the crank). You can also tune the suspension for track duty for not a lot of cash. So, the tunability is far more flexible with the Shelby. I say, go with the Shelby. I did, and don't regret it.

Bruce,

The biggest difference between the FordGTForum and just about every other forum on the web is civility. Most of us own multiple cars and everybody has their own reasons for choosing what they do. As far as road course cars are concerned, every car is a pig compared to something else unless your driving a top level F1 single seater. Every car is a stone slug at the strip compared to something else unless you're busting 5 seconds in a top fuel car. Though I doubt the forum members don't already know it, your pointing out that the Corvette is lighter, faster, and handles better than the GT500 or, for that matter, the Bentley Continental GT's that several of our members own is a welcome analysis. These other cars are purchased because they perform in other ways for their owners that the Corvette can't match. There is a reason the Mustang outsells the Corvette over 10 to 1. General Motors is every bit as big a financial train wreck as Ford, the GT500 weighs 3800 lbs, and it outperformes every 4 seat car General Motors builds in America. If you want to post up in the GT500/Shelby section of this Ford enthusiast forum with comments you've made like, "nose heavy 4000 lb. pig and fat ass Shelby" your not pointing out anything, your insulting. My "like kind" response to your post and your reaction to it shows you don't like the same type of insults you have issued applied to your choices. Your analysis is welcome, but please confine your insults to the Corvette Forums where such comments are the norm.

But seriously, don't you think the back end looks of the C6's would benefit "big time" from a "split rear window"? That might even offset the "downer" experienced by viewing the FRONT end... maybe...

Well...I would be that someone...I had it corner weighed back in August.

Here is a review I wrote on my GT500 when I picked it up back in early July (posted on DBK's sister site):

"I picked up my new Shelby from Freedom Ford in Hampton Virginia within 18 hours of its delivery to the dealership. Freedom had it all detailed and ready to go when I arrived. The car is beautiful in person, photos just don’t do it justice.

I left the same day for the trip back to Florida. I decided to stay off the Interstates all the way home and drive on two lane roads as much as possible. No only did I believe this would be better driving conditions for vehicle break-in, I also thought it would be more fun. I was not disappointed.

I put 1100 miles on the car over the next two and a half days. Here’s some of my impressions:

- The car attracts an enormous amount of attention. I own several high profile cars (including a Ford GT) but I have never seen so much interest. I can’t explain it. Perhaps it is the history of the original Shelby, perhaps it is because the car is priced so that it is within reach of so many enthusiasts, or perhaps it is my good looks (not). Camera phones, U-turns in the middle of the road to follow me, crowds at gas stations, rolled down windows at stop lights to talk…you name it.

- Fit and finish are excellent. I opted for the upgraded leather, and I hate to say it, but the interior materials and assembly quality are better than my Ford GT. I don’t like the position of the cup holders. I know, I know, it was built for driving, not drinking, but I do like my Big Gulp beside me on road trips. The problem is if you put a drink in the cup holder it is too close to the shifter and interferes. Exterior paint and body panel fit are excellent. Ford has definitely made “Quality is Job One” a reality with this car. While I do wish that the stripes were painted instead of taped, the taped stripes work.

- The car is very comfortable even after hours in the driver’s seat. Suspension doesn’t beat you up. Seats are well designed ergonomically and the leather is pretty supple. There is no annoying wind noise, no rattles, and no squeaks. Running on beat up farm roads was not a problem

- Engine power is smooth and strong. While I did not really get on it too hard during the drive (now THAT took self restraint), even moderate gas pedal position brings on wonderfully smooth and linear power. Gotta love that supercharger whine!

- The transmission and shifter work as smooth as butter. Throws are short (you don’t need to mod this in my opinion), and the shift lever is positioned well. I believe this transmission is the same that is in my Viper, but it seems to work smoother in the Shelby.

- I am not impressed with the clutch. While the clutch pressure feels just right, it is difficult for me to get a chatter free start. I have a number of manual tranny cars so I don’t think it is me, but who knows. If you really want to get on it there is no problem, but for normal launches, the clutch requires a lot of finesse with the gas pedal. I guess I’ll refine my technique over time, but I expected better.

- The brakes are incredible.

- The car’s handling and cornering are crisp and tight. I was expecting to possibly be disappointed in this department given the final weight of the car, but the weight is not evident in actual real world driving.

All in all it was a great drive home. The car definitely exceeded my expectation. Other than the clutch and all the attention it receives, it’s all good. My plan is to use the Shelby as my daily driver. I’ll drop another post in a month or two with more impressions."

Now, seven months and 7000 miles later I am still pleased with my choice.

IMHO no chebby looks as good [bad] as my GT500.

Look, let's agree to disagree on minor details because this is a bit out of hand. Apparently I'm in trouble for insulting you and, recognizing that perception is reality, I will now formally apologize to you, Chip. Never meant anything personal by it.

You said I was "wrong" to call myself a mustang guy. Frankly, I considered that an insult. Just for clarification, I am somewhat dissapointed in a few aspects of the new car, that's all. Just another perspective for the fine readers at home out there. It's all a matter of perspective and opinion. Mine simply comes from the perspective of a track enthusiast and I should have made that part clear. Had I communicated more clearly, we wouldn't have had such a fun exchange :biggrin

I'm all for civility too but there's nothing wrong with pointing out that Ford has trended towards a 4,000lb pony car where BMW and GM have trended towards better performance thru the use of advanced tech and light weight materials. "Fat ass" was only my crude way of being concise and not a personal insult. Of course I would love to have one in the collection. I'd like all kinds of "nose heavy pigs" including the lovely Bentley so mentioned.

edit: now that you guys have me thinking, if I added a back seat and all the rest of the luxury to the R it would weigh the same as the Shelby. Still wish it had an IRS though . . .

cheers,

[GTpwrdCAPRI]

The new issue of 5.0 mustang and super fords had an article on the gt500.

they installed the new kenne bell 2.8H. at the end of the day and 24lbs of boost later they ended up with 801rwhp. not too shabby if you ask me.

all with the stock motor and some tuning.

as for the new 08 gt500kr getting the gt motor. I think i will beat ford to it when i get the gt motor that i have installed into my 86 merc capri. My friends shop is going to be doing the install and body work. we are going to restore the car but mimic the trans-am capri's that kicked butt in the day.

[MG0427]

They are all great, The only GM car I love and will own is the 07 Z06(I don't think the Blue Devil is all that, I think people will be disappointed), its a monster, the GT is another level. As for the GT500, well its also a great car and I plan buying a convertible closer to the end of the run and hopefully at MSRP. I don't pay over MSRP. All my cars have been at MSRP. Either way great cars, you can' go wrong.

Do you think the main down fall for the Blue Devil will be it's weight? I hadn't heard anything negative about it, but I don't know much about the anticipated differences from the Z06 to Blue Devil. Got any links to good info on it? I'm not planning on buying one, just want to get up to speed on it...
