GM, Nissan, and Toyota, Oh My? Possible Merger?

GM pulled out of racing Jan. 18, 1963 and got back into racing in the early 80s.

Its funny people bashing ford products here on a ford site. Shouldn't you GM faithfull be on a GM site?

No doubt.......

I dont like to compare and make a big deal out of the Z06 being slightly faster than the GT. Its awsome that theres a car as affordable as the new Z06 that can beat a $150,000 car, but that makes is faster than a few ferarri's and lamborghini's too, but no one seems to care about that, its all about the S7 and GT. I also dont think its very fair to compair the GT500 to anything at this point because there havn't been any real performance tests done on this car yet, especially to a car like the Z06 which isn't even in the same class.

IMO that kinda wiegth is rediculous,should be closer to 3400lbs to be decent (the GT500).

my thoughts exactly. sell your msuatng then and hold onto your camaro. How much does the new zo6 cost? how much does the new gt500? i don't know about the zo6 but i am sure it is more than 41k

It's not so much as Fords can or can't, but they just don't. The GT500 is still a Mustang when it comes down to it, and as a sports car, it doesn't compare to the Z06. So the GT500's motor lacks, power and poweband, in a heavy car. You'll need the pulley and a few other mods just to catch up. Ford is just trying to bring back old glory by digging up old car ideas, while GM is beyond that.

but still not doing good.

Yeah but point blank.......the Mustang sells. Period. Why did the mighty f-body die.....it wasn't selling.....hummm......

The GT500 doesn't lack because it cant compare to a Z06 because its not supposed to be compared with the Z06. Can the Z06 haul 4 people? No. The Z06 = $80k, GT500=$45k.

Does the fact that these 2 cars are in differen't classes and are not meant to be direct competion for each other mean anything to you?

But doesnt the new Z06 fall under the price of the Ford GT(40)?

Well the offical price,not the dealer inflated price...

http://www.corvetteforums.com/ There you go pal. Have a ball. :SNSign:

maybe he already went

Not even close. Theres almost a $100k base price difference between the 2.

Now that is probally the best argument. The mustang is a car, while the corvette is just a performance machine. Maby not suposed to compare, but those compare the anyways. The Z06 base price is in the mid-high $60's BTW.

Yes,thats what Im saying,the Z06 isnt as much as the Ford GT so thats why it will be pitted against the GT500.
