LOL. Everyone knows the Z06 is superior in every way. Let the nuttswingers swing and we will keep the truth to ourselves. ---

I don’t even see how you could be shopping for both vehicles, Muscle vs sports cars. ---

Backseat? It comes down to perception. A new mustang GT shops very well against a 135, and I don’t really see why they shouldn’t be held in the same category, but it comes down to perception which can be subjective. I know I have seen a ZO6 run Laguna at 1:39, and probably faster, but obviously the new Mustang GT chassis is capable of keeping up with, if not beating some serious cars. The R8, Z06, M3. Obviously you buy an R8 for specific reasons, but that doesn’t mean you can’t compare or consider cars below it. A lot of people bought ZO6’s and GTR’s because they performed as well as European cars that cost significantly more. That goes for people who could afford the Euro cars too. ---

Most people don’t put a GT500 up against a Z06 so they know which vehicle is better for them at track days. lol. Since all of maybe 3 of you have ever done a single lap in a single race in your cars. Do lap times really fucking matter? When I was shopping for a vehicle, I was all over the board. When I felt like buying something, I bought what appealed to me most, that day. ---
