We thought the 07 SVT Cobra would surpass the Z06 in performance..With 500HP on tap, it sounded like reality, but apperently those darn GM people have decided to build one of the quickest production cars available, and at only 62,000.
Got this from someone else who got this from another site. LOL...<---Make any sense?

More and more info is being leaked from GM as the production delivery date for the C6 gets closer. The C6 Z06 is not expected to be available until fall 2005.
The basics... the Z06 will not be built on the same frame used for the C6 coupes and convertibles. It will be getting the LS7 3-valve 6.3L 500 hp engine. 95 horsepower more than the standard C6. The C6 Z06 is going to be even more different structurally to include many more aluminum and carbonfiber components. Expect to see times around 3 second 0-60, less than 90 feet 60-0, over 1.05g lateral acceleration, around 2,900 lb. curb weight, wider wheels (10" / 12", or better), larger engine and trans. oil coolers, bigger and perhaps different composition (are we talking ceramic???) brakes
2006 Z06 MSRP $62K....average.

Z06 specs sound like 480-500HP, 3000LBS at 60K+. They are still tinkering with it. GM auctioned off a chance to drive the new Z06 two weeks ago. It had to be done late at night and the person who won can't say anything. The person paid around 4-5 grand. They are out there!
Blue Devil is going to have 600 HP, unknown weight, only 500 will be built at around 100K. They are sharing the motor with a limited "500" build performance version of the Caddy to save costs. There are pictures on the internet of the engine getting tested in the Caddy. It has a hood scoop on it.

Exactly...See I thought it was going to be like this...I was expecting a 500HP Z06, but also weighing 3100lbs. I figured the Underrated 500HP Cobra would probably hang withit although a bit slower. But I was thinking the V-10 Shelby would blow the Vette off the map..But the Vette weighs only 2900lbs!!!
SO, heres the deal, the GT 500 needs to weigh 3100lbs MINIMUM...And it needs to ahve 4V heads on that V-10...Lets go for 650HP, but also increase the torque!! LIke 600TQ.
:worship: That would be sweet.

No V10 in a Mustang, dammit.
That Z06 is going to be all kinds of $%&#ing awesome. Once again, the Cobra should try to beat out the base Corvette before it even dreams of taking on a Z06. To be frank, they shouldn't be trying to compete anyway since the Mustang is a backeat-having pony car and the Corvette is a pure sports car/GT.

NO V-10 in a Mustang? Says who KNOW ALL? It is highly unlikely a V-10 would be in a Cobra or a Boss or something of that nature, but the higher up Shelby models? I'm sure one will receive a V-10.
OH and the Corvette is in NO WAY a GT car.
Google it up...find out what a real GT car is.
