I think the gt500 looks more badass, but not having driven or even sat in or even been near, it sounds as though I’d enjoy the z06 to drive a little more. ---

Z06 Whos asking? Surely Mr Smith is not considering a domestic. Ford GTs are not in the ballpark, prices are still around 150K for one with no issues. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > Who cares? > > Unless your trying to use the car to make up for your little dick? Such a retarded comment. I didn’t even know people still say that. Why have a fast car? Are you trying to compensate yourself? Who gives a fuck if i rather be distinguished with a car few people see vs a fast straight line car. Worry about what you wanna build or buy and not about other dudes dick sizes. ---

uh jerk off the z06 isn’t even built to just be fast in a straight line :lol: You’re only reasoning for picking either car was based on looks and other peoples perception…fucking lame. I would rather pick a car with the best performance 🙂 But hey maybe chicks will dig you in the GT500 more so you should go that route ---

the only person considering a gt500 should be somebody who is collecting cars and wants a mustang in there somewhere. the C6 is obviously a better choice. ---

the fast in a straight line was directed at you wiener licker. I always choose my cars with performance in mind above all. I even said I’d take the z06 over a gt500. If you even knew me you’d know Im looking to sell my cobra to maybe get into a c6 z06 next year. I was simply stating the fact I hate how gt500s get grouped into being just a mustang and z06s just corvettes. They are not distinguished like how a viper has no basic see everyday car. ---

I’m sure everyone knows my vote. I can appreciate both but I prefer the styling of the Shelby. Plus, I see more Zs than GT500s cruising around. The '07-'10 won’t hang with the Z or the base C6 in the twisties. With the revisions in the 2011 MY, the GT500 handles far better than previous years. That said, the Z is sure to best it still.

Depends on how many people you want in the back seat. GT500 for actual practicality, and silly response to mods. C6 Z06 if you don’t ever plan on bringing anyone other than the old lady on a drive… Both cars will come with an AARP card. ---
