Here are some comparison numbers between the Z06, Viper, and GT:

Z06 0-100 in 7.9
GT 0-100 in 8.6
Viper 0-100 in 9.6

Z06 0-150 in 17
GT 0-150 in 19.5
Viper 0-150 in 24.1

Here is a little blurb from MT:

"The most entertaining part of the Nurburgring F1 track is the high-speed kink called Hatzenbach Bogen. While F1 cars car routinely see 180 mph and 2g lateral loads, the Z06 - without the aid of thousands of pounds of downforce - managed a respectable 120 mph while delivering a 1.0g force, sustained for a second and a half. It's that combination of unflappable grip and seemingly endless grunt the Z06 manages so well. Nothing seems too great a task, and only your instinct for self-perservation gets in the way of attempting the impossible."

The Z06 some AMAZING! Bravo Chevy!

 

thats utterly amazing... the cheaper car whooped the self-proclaimed supercars in almost every category, and in the MOST important category of all Price!

its a good day to be the general, now lets work those magic fingers on the F5 and the general will officially be back in black!

 

At a second glance i have to make another comment, the GT's numbers in respect to its $150,000 price tag are humiliating. Ford just needs to stop trying for top spot, its already taken.

 

That is F*ckin SICK!!!!

 

What's a Z05?

 

that sums it up the best it can be sumed

 

The numbers for the z06 are impressive, but in all fairness, I think it would be worth waiting until it is put up directly against th other cars in a shootout or something, instead of cross referencing times from different situations. That is the best way to eliminate all of the variables, and the speculation that follows. Until that time, I will refrain from making a judgement on which one is the fastest, although it is obvious the z06 is definetly in their league.

 

if someone wasnt concious about cracking into there $70,000 car, i bet with some easy mods we are looking at a 10 second Z06.

The king is back

 

Beg to differ.

The Z06 is essentially an in house performance job on an existing car.

The Ford GT was made from the 1st bolt as a supercar.

You'd need at least an intersection's distance to spot a Z06.

You'd spot a Ford GT almost from the other side of town.

I'm not slamming the Z06 in any way. Those acceleration numbers are downright sick (to borrow someone else's term ), and it no doubt holds it's own with anything on the planet.

But the mission of the Z06 is to offer supercar performance on the cheap (relatively speaking, of course), while the Ford GT is a showcase American exotic car, also on the cheap ($150K is still alot cheaper than comparable rides from Europe) that already has star collector status.

The loser in all this is the Dodge Viper. But then again, the Viper suddenly ends of the cheaper of the 3 now.

 

Very true, they definitely need a side by side comparison (and they should sell tickets to it ). The Z06 is definitely in their league, that in itself says a lot considering the price differences .

How is it the cheapest of the 3 now? It still MSRPs higher than a new z06. I hope Dodge does something with the Viper soon, because I like that car, and I don't want to see Chrysler do something dumb and pull the plug on it.

 

I knew there was some reaason I was a Chevy guy!

 

Ofc you do

What do you call the cobra and other stangs of past and present? I beleive the GT-40 is being built in Saleen plants, atleast this is what my friends who work there tell me, but it is essentially an in house build. Cobra R comes to mind atm

This isnt helping why there numbers are worse then a slightly tuned corvette with a 50% price tag.

Maybe you do , whenever i see a vette i can quickly hound down if its a Z06 or not, and usually one who knows what to look for can tell simply from a glance. GT-40 is a ringer from .5 miles away 6 lanes over, but thats what it was meant to be.

Yes but i would be arguing with myself if it was a "New GT-40" or an old one (i know a little unrealistic ) because ford kept it as close as possible without just pulling the sheet metal out of storage, for Nestalgia purpose's and Eye catcher factor. At the same time the New Z06 stylings will make it stick out like a sore thumb to.

Yep, it sure does. And if the numbers stands true, it beats anything in its price bracket hands down, and 90% of those streetable out of its price bracket by $70,000 - $400,000...

In the begining the Viper was built to be an exotic as well, or atleast thats the way dodge sold it to the public, and now its unarguably the slowiest in the pack. $150,000 is alot cheaper then alot of EU's offerings, but IMO i would rather spend another $25,000 and get a ferarri. There isnt a ford on the planet worth $150,000. (Classics Exempt ). I would swoop 2 Z06s for that price

(yes this is info i looked up, but last 05' Viper i seen had 77,000 on the windshield.)

Viper: $74236 - $81495
Z06: Est (which im sure will be close): $70,000

Viper isnt only overpriced, its also optioned car. The Z06 comes loaded off the lot. Still pulling Mid-Low 11's while yanking: Leather seats, CD Premium Sound, AC and alot of nice included things.

So the viper cant hide behind price, and the GT couldnt dream of doing so. Not in the performance world.

 

Z06: Est (which im sure will be close): $70,000

I think its 66K on the Chevy website.

 

That in itself, brings those cars worlds crashing down.

GT-40 is a stripper being pushed by a blown V8, i have no clue what luxurys its missing, but im sure the z06 is a hell of alot more plush inside.

The Viper is pushing 500+ CID V-10... Come on now, there shouldnt be an excuse.

Im not sure if this is | was one of chevys logos or another of the big three, but it applys here.
