The GT is just a tiny bit slower than the Enzo and I don't think anybody is going to put the Corvette in the category of the Enzo. |

Motortrend has the 05 Mustang at 267 bhp @ 5275rpm and 283 lb-fts @ 4350, which is pretty close to a LT1 dyno with a T-56 that's in excellent condition. Compare an 05 Stang to a C6 Vette that makes 347.9 BHP with 349.5 ft-lbs, that Corvette is going to run circles around it, however if you want some serious bang for your buck get an 03 Cobra. They run high 12's all day long and come with T-56's which is a transmission that I know and love. Dump a few grand into an 03 Cobra and you'll hit mid/high 11's with out blinking an eye and still maintain awesome daily driven manners. I'd go with a C6 if you've got a dailydriver, not that a C6 can't be daily driven, it's a two seater with out much of storage. While a 03 Cobra has a back seat, even though it's small and decent trunk space.

I heard the Z06 will have Supercharged engine that will put out a easy 650 HP at the rear wheels, that would kill the GT |

The Z06 has been pretty much set in stone spy pics of the engine and the car are already popping up. So 500 horses at the crank yes and for around 50k that's a helluva powerful car considering the cheapest way you could get that power would be in the 80k Viper. But the new Z06 unless it's HELLA light won't be sniffing the GT. The Vette you are thinking about is the Blue Devil which may or may not be built. I've heard anything from a supercharged LS7(7.0 liter Z06 engine) to twin turboed LS2. But nobody is sure what they are going to do and how much it's going to cost. Most do think if it's made it'll be around Viper money aka 80k. |

For the moment, The Vette has my vote. The C6 is a much more refined car with superior handling than the normal straight-line-only junk Chevy produced. It represents a giant leap forward for the company, but I'd still like to see someone test it on a track with a few other sports cars and then check what it'll do, not only in terms of track time, but also the car's composure.

Even though I hate GM, and think the new Vette is nothing more than a fake ass Ferrari wanna-be. I'd still take it over that big fat clunky lookin Mustang. I really loved the new Stang at first, but after I acually got to see them in person I think they're ugly. The ass end is too fat, and the rest of the car is just too plain and square for me.

Obviously, the Vette beats the Mustang in every way except the price/performance ratio. If I had less than $50,000 to spend, I'd get the Mustang and upgrade it to the point a stock Vette couldn't touch it. If I had more cash than that, then I'd get the Vette.
On second thought, I could just get two Mustang GTs for the price of one Vette.
