Did GM announce pricing on the Z06 yet?

I can't wait for the C6 Z06 time on their track. I hope they end up with a HUGE foot in their mouth.

Go GM

You and me both. I read the MT test of the Ferrarri 430 vs. the Ford GT on a plane trip last week and the Z06 has a better power-weight ratio than either of them. I think it stands a real chance of knocking BOTH cars out.

About those power-to-weights.....might want to compare RWHP to weight vice rated HP to weight. It will likely be a bit more accurate.

Just a thought.

I would but...I can never find an actualy dyno sheet of a Ford GT. I've seen all the net rumors etc...that say the things put out like 525-540 or so to the wheels which would put the whole power to weight thing to rest fairly harshly but with no solid proof...no point in saying it.

Also since we don't have a dyno sheet for a Z06 yet...same thing.

I agree that you can't do it now (especially given that the Z06 doesn't exist in production form). I was just stating that when you can, it will be more accurate. That's all.
