I just got the Newest car and driver today....then new LS7 vette is a 500hp, 475lb-ft monster.
Manufactures' perfomrances ratings 0-60: 3.8 sec 0-100: 7.7 sec 1/4 mile: 11.7 sec@127 mph Projected Fuel Economy (C/D est.) EPA City: 16mpg EPA Highway: 22mpg Bigger Brakes, wheels, tires, diry-sump lubrication system, various cooling upgrades, and a big bore exhaust. It also has carbon fiber front fenders instead of the fiberglass, they weight 2.8 lbs apiece, instead of the 9.2 of the previous ones. The total weight is 3130 pounds. I just thought I would share this after I was done drooling over the magazine, but forgive me if this has already been posted. -Just something i thought should be posted... |

2005 Ford GT
$140,000 - $150,000 (depending on options) 550 bhp @ 6500 RPM 500 lb-ft @ 4,500 0-60 3.3 sec 1/4 Mile 11.6 sec @ 128 mph Top Speed 205 Differences Price: Unknown Horsepower:50 bhp Torque: 25 lb-ft 0-60: 0.5 sec 1/4 Mile: 0.1 sec @ 1 mph Top Speed: Unknown If this thing stays around its $50,000 mark then I say Chevy really hit the nail on the head with this one.

The latest Motor Trend has it covered pretty good. Looks like a totally different car than the C6. Aluminum frame by Dana.

Re: 2006 Z06, 427 LS7 -500hp
The Z06 is priced at $75,000
I think that it is the best sports car for the money. The only one i could see that would be close would be the new 2006 Viper coupe that brings back the old white on blue Viper theme that everyone loved. The Vette is still cooler and probably faster though.

Re: 2006 Z06, 427 LS7 -500hp
heh.... and where have you seen this? The Viper has ALWAYS been quicker/faster than the Z06....
the new Z06 should finally beat the Viper though... unless Chysler bumps up the power in the Viper..... Quote:

Re: 2006 Z06, 427 LS7 -500hp
The viper isnt going to stand a chance ever.The z06 has been around its stood the test of time.The corvette design has been through just about everything you can put a car through simply by the test of time.They didnt make no cool ass viper 50 years ago.Are they going to make 50 cool ass vipers in a row for 50 years consecutivley>?.Not without that stupid dodge grill that killed the new charger.Go look at a new charger and think"the new dodge has 40 more HP than the new Mustangs 300hp does".Then walk over and look at the new Z06 and see it has 50 HP less than the new ford GT BUT its not supercharged as of yet.The new ford GT is cool but its all she wrote 550hp 4.6 litre 4.6 supercharged.The new Z06 is a 427SBC 500hp not supercharged.
At first i thought the new GT was stealing some of the Z06 big 50 but now i dont feel like that its the land of potential with the suspension to back it up. |

The ZO6 was a much better buy when it came out but Chevy never seemed to raise the bar on it. Finally they're pushing it and the ZO6 is once again the better buy here. Quote:

Re: 2006 Z06, 427 LS7 -500hp
Aren't they making 20% of all C6's Z06s? Thats going to be tough at $75k. I was at a dealership yesterday and the dude told me $65k. I've heard everything from $58k to $75k. Truth is no one knows.
If they are $75k GM will be discounting them heavily within 2 years. I'll just pick up a used one after the first owner gets drilled by depreciation.
