dogboystoy Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 also..i think this Z06 compares very well to the ford GT for less than half the price. the gt weighs more..has only 50 more horsepower, and is BARELY faster in a 1/4 mile..within a few tenths tops. not sure about top speeds etc. 315017[/snapback] Think... That is like adding a stock banshee to the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 chances are if you have enough loot to buy one of these cars, your gonna have some loot to drop into it if you want to. You put 30 grand into a cobra engine, your gonna start running out of things to do to it.....sure it will beat a stock vette, but what happens when the stock vette owner gets beat by this little pony and drops a couple bucks? 315045[/snapback] For one I was talking about the next Cobra which isn't out yet but I can't believe they will jump the price too much and they will be more powerfull. Secondly it really depends on what you want to do with your car if it's straightline anything will do it when money is added if it's a road course companies like Porsche and Subaru really shine.

01bansheeke Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I think that is where GM was headed with the corvette. I'm not sure how well it handles, i'm sure its no slouch. Not many people have got there hands on them yet. 500 hp..3100 lbs is sure to be a killer combo if you can put it to the ground, and keep it on the ground. Every car has there problems. And if they are indeed releasing a new cobra, im sure it will have its problems too. When they first came out, they were blowing the trannies to pieces. It is also my understanding that every single one of the new gt's was recalled, because the wheels werer literraly falling off of them. Vette has had there problems too. Also, something you guys may be interested in, according to the lightning owner assoctiation and a few other places, there may NEVER be another lightning. And the cobra is going to be pushed back to 07/08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I NEED one of those. Maybe if I say it enough times with the emphasis on NEED, my wife will start to see it my way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrolman808 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 From what I hear, the Cobra isn't coming out. That's the reason the Lightning got scrapped, b/c they were gonna share alot of the same engine components, so no Cobra..no Lightning.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 How do you think this would compare to the new Z06? Granted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01bansheeke Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Carrol shelby actually has one on the road now i believe. Pretty sick car. v-10(?) i'm pretty sure th magazine article i read said it had in it. Would be a pretty kick ass car for sure. but i'm willing to bet money the price range won't compare.

sam97 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 A little FIY. I went to the Detroit auto show and saw the new Z06. It is very bad ass. The barbie doll that was talking about it said that with the 500hp, it will run the quarter in the 11.7s. That is hella fast, but then she also stated that these cars don't have announced pricing. I have also heard from other sources besides here that the tag will be around 65k. It is fitting for a car of this caliber, and because it is the fastest car chevy has ever made. I currently own an older Mustang, and am pretty sure I don't want to run one of these things when I find one on the street. Then again, no one my age will be able to afford one anyway.

Ricers suck. My 2 friends are so god damn stupid, and they dont like anything but jap vehicles even trucks!!! They say that there is no point in having a truck as big as american companies make them blablablabla. And go about the bull shit about them being so reliable. Every Jap car ive been in feels like a tin can!!!! on a side note an other thing i like about this new vette is that the engines are hand assembled. If i had the money id get one.
