uhhhh...mustang and corvette comparisons on every single board I visit.....so irratating...
is the GT500 too heavy?! hell yes
should it be compared to a sports car?! hell no
Would I buy a new z06?! hell yes
Would I buy a gt500? depends on markup.....at 42k hell yes....with 20k dealer markup...thats a BIG HELL NO!
a 12.25 isn't horrible for a car that weighs what it weighs though

But I also heard the Road n Track magazine had the Shelby doing a 13.1....I will wait to see what Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords can do with it!
Regardless the Shelby is a fat pig and needs to go on a serious diet.....it looks like so far the 03/04 Cobra is still the KING!!!!!!

hmmmm.....that is coming directly from SVT.....I'll wait to see some more independent tests....not saying the tests aren't accurate, just to see what that fat pig can do for real. I think Muscle Mustangs should be doing a test next month or so we'll see!
"I'm surprised how ford managed to build a 500 HP car that can't break away from mid to high 12's......"
I hope it's not another 1999 Cobra debacle!!!!!
