The only Z06 you are describing is a C6 model. A 2004 or older Z06 does not just get out and run low 12's at the track. Hell, go to any big Vette gathering at the drag strip and I bet you see way more 13 second Vettes than you do 12 sec ones.
Yes the C6 Z06 is a strong SOB no doubt and unless I sprayed I would have a hard time running with one from a roll on the highway. But the C5's are nowhere near as strong.
What does going 190mph have to do with beating a Z06? There's a lot more to it than top speed.
I promise you I will not be backing down to any C6 Z06, nevermind C5s.
If you want to outrun that Z06 you'll actually have to run in excess of 198. Pure and simple. I guess if you wanted to put exotic mods on 302 engines and mod this and mod that you may come close to keeping up with one in the quarter mile but once that quarter mile is gone the Z06 is gonna walk the dog on you. You guys sound like a bunch of Honda Civic guys trying to catch up to a notch 5.0.
few vettes I found in this video.
believe the stang has tfs upper kit, with some spray.

hope im alound to put that up there? if not can delete.
SO WHAT? I dont know about everyone else but after 1/4 mile I could give a rat's ass if he can outrun me. ANd the 500hp corvettes are not in a class of their own. I am not sure but I do know that a GT-40 comes with more power (550 hp) and OMG yeah I bet the new z06s are fast. I mean look how much you pay for them. I will make a deal with anyone in this world. Go buy a 50k corvette or even the NEW z06s and give me the same amount of money you bought that car for. I will go buy a $2000 5.0 mustang and spend 20k on it and WILL WALK AWAY FROM ANY STOCK CORVETTE LIKE IT WAS TIED TO A TREE!!! So if any idiot wants to pay 80K for a car with 500 hp when they can buy ALOT cheaper car and go FASTER ( yeah I said faster) than any corvette be my guest as someone has already said in this thread " I will stick with my 5.0 and go faster cheaper"
And as far as the corvettes on drag radials or std's. It doesnt matter a type of tire is like any other upgrade. I mean I think it is a fair trade me on slicks and the corvette having more HP. A tire is a tire just like heads are heads and cams are cams.:Track:
I just do not think many realize how difficult it is to get a FOX to run high 127-128 mph, run with great A/C, and get mid 20 mpg, and drive similar to Benz
A stock longblock with a turbo, is not going to be cutting 130 mph without something going, bye bye...
Its been my experience that, if its a Chevrolet Corvette, you want to race it 5 times. Doesn't matter what your car does. On one of those runs, the vette breaks. Anyone remember that Marine motor they touted so heavily, and charged up the ying yang for a few years back? Recalled for locking up said big time motor? Junk. Wanna drop that kind of cash, get a Porsche.

must be nice to be such a genius are you like 15 years old?
hey lets compare a 20 year old car with mods to a brand new car that is bone stock and has to meet standards!!!
how about you compare apples to apples dumbass. mod for mod the corvette will walk away from you, plain and simple.
the corvette is arguably the best car you can buy for the money. out of the box it is a true ALL AROUND sports car that can compete with some of the nicest cars in the world. sorry, but you can't say that about a fox mustang.
i LOVE my mustang, It is the best car i've owned and it is a blast to drive, but I'd love to own a vette Z06 as well. my dad has an 01 Z06 with an intercooled procharger. that car is amazing. not to mention it is probably one of the best looking cars i've ever seen.
You said I am dumb....where did you learn to read dumb ****.... BEST CAR FOR THE MONEY HAHAHAHA what a joke you are. I tell you what....bring you dads POS prochargered corvette a friend of mine has a 306 on gas that will walk away from it LMAO you are such a little kid. Look dumb **** I will say it again for the retards out there. If you spend 50K on a corvette and you dump 20k in it that =70K right? now give me 70K. 5.0 mustang=2K that leaves me 68K ( am I going too fast for you, typical you like corvettes....lol) ok now I will build the 5.0 mustang with every penny of that 68K and I wonder who be faster, BUT we spent the same amount of money on both cars....damn they shouldnt let little kids in here that doesnt know what they are talking about!!!!
Have you ever ridden in a vette? I assume not, they are a ROUGH ride with their stiff ass susp., no where near like a benz....
