Although a Pony man(notice I didn't say ford!), the Z06 is a monster of a machine, performance wise anyway. It is quite unfair to put these two in the ring with the vette' being a "super heavywieght" and the Shelby being a "heavywieght." Come to think of it, the GT is completely out the Vette's class also...so as you can see, chevy smartly backed out of the pony wars and went another direction. Do not get me off, I loved the war between Cam's and Stang's, but due to serious crappy marketing on chevy's part, the old rivalary went the way of the Do-Do. To bad, because I really think Chevy has a winner under the hood of that GTO-LS2. Now that I'm through with politeness, I must honestly say that the Shelby has WAY MORE potential than the 500 h.p. beast in the way of "Boost
". I owned an 04 cobra and put close to 6 grand in it to an unbelievable tune 587 rwhp
!! Needless to say, I found the half shaft limit at a 4500 launch..
. I had no IDEA what that amount of power could do. It didn't last, though, as an idiot blew a redlight and took off the whole front end..
.I only had a brief amount of time with my baby, but relish the memory. Was about to buy an 05 last fall when ran across this beutiful "5.4" Shelby. Now, I am waiting for the ford dealer to accept my dwn pymnt on the first one. Can U imagine the POTENTIAL of this engine??
....No disrespect to the Z06, but it's ON
!!
SEE YA AT THE FINISH LINE...i'll be waiting
