I wont argue about the Z06's price/performance value, its probably the best bang for your buck ever and Id have one if I could afford it. But face it, its still a Vette that can and will be mistaken for an LS2 C6 by your average Joe. People who can afford supercars are buying the exclusivness. If the GT's a joke, I guess all the cars it outperforms that cost twice as much are a joke too. Its a wonder Ferrari and Lambo keep making cars.
It is a 150k Ford, that the front A-arms fall off of. End of story.

Not everyone buys supercars for the exclusiveness, either way though, you are a Ford fan I am a Corvette fan. We could go back and forth forever.

BTW Ferrari and Lambo still makes cars so ugly rich people can get laid.

I wasn't correcting you. But it isn't really 2 V8s fused together, it is a lil more complicated then that.

You're right, we could go on all night and Im sure you nor I want to. I like Vettes too. All I want you to look at is this: http://www.topgear.com/content/tgonb...times/thestig/

Not bad considering they worked with a motor designed over 10 years ago. God I hope they do something like the GT with the new Hurricane motor.

Just seems everytime Ford one-ups GM, the nut-huggers always use the age old fall-back, "It's still a Ford".

I like a lot of Ford's cars, but I will never pay 150k for one.

That's cool, just came off that way. There's no real way to read the tone of someone's post online. But the simplest, most dumbed down explanation is that it's two W8's sharing the same crankshaft.

It's like when people payed $75K+ for a VW Phaeton. What happened to the days of $12K GTI's?

True, but I'd rather have the Audi A8. Similar in price and essentially the same car, plus you get to say you drive an Audi and not a VW.

We all know about the Veyron. Hell, I sing it's praises almost daily. But I like the Koenigsegg better. And the Veyron isn't rare. It's ****** priceless!
