gt500 vs c6 wtf???
has anyone read the article in car and driver on the gt500 c6 comparison?
I unfortunately did yesterday and after getting to the drag tests threw the magazine in the garbage, where did these morons learn to drive, in the c6 they ran a 12.8 @ 113 and in the gt500 they got a 12.9 @ 112 thats about what my 325hp trans am runs stock, just a little higher in the mph. come on the c6 has about 75-80 whp over a stock f-body and weighs 300 lbs less and the cobra has 500 f'in hp and is still under 4000lbs and all they can get is high 12's.

MM&FF tests at the track...and Evan Smith is an excellent driver. So is Rainman, but
that's a different story. Car & Driver doesn't test at a track. They use real world
conditions...which is basically an unprepped street and stop watches.

Couldn't dissagree more, people used to call the 03 Cobras a dissappointment when they ran 13.0-12.8s stock, now look around. I got my 03 deep in the 10s and still haven't touched the motor. 07s will be the same +80 CI..........the aftermarket will find a way

And for the price they are selling for now I wouldn't buy one. Abd when the price comes down I would still have to really think about it. I am a Ford man, but I am not going to bragging about the GT500 until I see some numbers. Hopefully they are better.
