Rep Power: 262 5hp less then the z06 yet over a second slower and no where near the grip in the corners. And for $47k, I'd much rather pay the extra to get a z06 or something like an evo or sti.

Rep Power: 0 for 47 grand your looking at just the c6 vette not the z06 but for that you would get something just (or almost) as fast as the gt500 in the 1/4 mile but better handling. I would much rather shelby have focused on weight reduction rather than power for the gt500 but with the current mustang weight that might be impossible or useless.

Rep Power: 262 I know the z06 isn't 47k...I was saying I would rather just spend the extra 20k to for a z06 if I wanted the performance. But I'd MUCH rather have the coupe for $45k if I was actually gonna spend the money.
