Right now I cannot make a judgment about handling... Can't wait for some comparisons.

When is the Z06 coming out?
Yes but the GT is 300 lbs heavier 3100 vs 3400. So take 30hp off the GT for weight penalty.

Now you are looking at 505 RATED HP, remember nobody's put a Z06 on a dyno yet, vs 550 Rated GT Hp which everybody says is more like 580, minus 30hp for weight penalty and you are looking at 505 vs 550.

If the Z06 is even 3% underrated then you are looking at a 520hp car.

All the sudden its not looking like such a clear win for the GT is it?

I predict a barely-by-the-skin-of-your-teeth world-shocking win by the Z06 on the 1/4 mile and a more solid but still narrown Z06 win on the road course.

I believe the GT will take it in the quarter mile by a bit.

And I don't give a crap. The new Z06 is teh sweetness.

I don't think so. It will be really close either way.

..................Still waiting for someone to think of a car that offers this performance that is anywhere near the ZO6..................................
