99frc i agree all but on the interior. i think an interior really wraps a car up, you cant sit on uncomfortable ass vinyl seats and have full plastic shit on the inside and be happy with it. And the fact the production numbers do mean SOMETHING. not that they matter to me. id take a c6 zo6 or a c6zr1 over a GT anyday as well. But i said like four times now, in that price range of $150000 a F430 is tits
It’s your prerogative to own a C5Z over a Supra and you have let that be known in 75% of your threads as if you need to defend your purchase.
I would not call it offense. I’ve owned both platforms is question, and I get a chuckle hearing why the Supra is a ‘better car’ from people that have never driven, or owned either car. They can only argue from what they see, so production numbers and interior often come up.
Agreed, but letting the world know that my cock is bent is of much higher importance.
People compare the C6Z a lot more to the old ass import than the C5Z. I don’t even think the interior on the C6Z is even that bad. You can get with NAV, etc. They make CF kits as well. It’s a seriously stout car.
Before anyone makes the fanboy arguments, I’m a car guy by heart. Domestic/Import whatever, I like performance. I don’t care what the emblem says.
Yea, I can do without that thanks.
My tone is offensive because I hate it when people compare cars using opinions. You can’t argue opinions because there is no right and wrong. If you want to compare cars, you need to compare what they are capable of.
Now how pretty an interior looks because what you may think looks awesome, I may think looks like garbage.
If you want to compare cars, compare the objects not the subjects. A good comparison would be:
A stock C6Z does xxx.xx around the ring racing a stock Ford GT. You are actually arguing points that are proven, they are factual.
A bad comparison is:
A Corvette interior is garbage compared to a GT500.
I completely disagree, but there are people who agree. You can’t argue it. Its dumb.
heres a couple pictures i took of a Ford GT at Hotrods Top Speed Challenge in Maxton,NC a few weeks ago. dumpy for sure.
That black GT is perfection
The ‘american muscle’ sticker only ruins the entire car. Did they make him put it on or something?
thats a bad ass car mk4 , and that black car boost creep posted is SEXY!
It’s hot as fuck for sure
Get up close to one. The craftsmanship is 100% Ford and if it’s going to be worth $100k+, it better have the fit and finish of the other $100k+ cars. Making a low-slung monocoque and added a blown F150 motor does not a supercar make TO ME. Keywords, TO ME. The C6 Vettes are more sophisticated than FGTs and cheaper too.
And the bottom end being capable of 1000bhp stock just means its more ham-fisted American lazy ‘engineering’. If it can take all that power, that means they could’ve designed it to make the stock 550hp (or whatever) and be significantly lighter, higher revving, etc. Just like…Supras! :eek Which is just dandy in $35k cars sold to John Everyman, but it’s pretty weak in America’s flagship supercar that’s supposed to compete with Ferrari.
$.02. Move along, nothing to see here.
based on the 230mph=1400WHP
266mph = 2187 WHP (+787HP)
Just for reference.

Fair enough, I concur with you on that. You can’t argue opinions. I wasn’t sure if you were directing that towards me? I don’t recall comparing the cars with their respective interiors.
No not towards you at all. Towards everybody else comparing two cars they have never owned much less driven so all they have to argue with is looks and he said she said.
These threads are pointless.
Ive been up close to one, and even got to ride in one up at LG a few years back for a few minutes. The craftsmanship is not bad by any means, and the body looks just fine, no retarded gaps etc. Maybe the one you saw the rear hatch was popped lol.
How do you come about that?
I have to agree with Oscar as well, although I sometimes question why he still has US residency. :lol
Why is this pointless? I wanted to talk about the GT. It’s a remarkable car and Ford hasn’t been doing much but moving in the right direction lately.
If this thread is stupid, we might as well just delete every post on this forum ( and every other one) and just talk about how the lot sucks, there is no scene around here anymore, bla bla waa waa.
The main reason I made this thread was because I stopped on ebay motors and these cars used, 5 years later are still selling at MSRP. (In this economy).
