The new Z06 will be right on the heels of the Ford GT. It weighs over 200 lbs less, only 50 less hp, 25 less lbft of TQ, Has a better weight distribution, and has allready provne in the C6 models, that it handles remarkable.

The only thing the GT500 will be competing with will be the new GTO.

Just wait till GM puts FI on the C6 Z06

05 GT is about 3,400lbs vette is around 3200 or so. But then again the vette was aerodynamically built for racing where as the GT was not completely designed for that purpose hence the weight differences.

The Z06 is 3030 specifically, and has more HP and TQ. Most places I have been reading have said the curb weight of the Gt500 is around 3600 lbs.

HERE IS ONE OF THEM

They are NO WHERE in the same league, especially in the handling department.

[Pony_Racer]

[Pony_Racer]

also price of the GT500 will be around 40k.
Z06 is estimated 50-70k.......
