The fact of the matter is the base model Z06 is still 20k more than the base model GT500. For them to be even competitive down the strip is a pretty big achievement for Ford. I mean we are talking about GM's halo car platform (notice I said platform and I'm not comparing it to the ZR1). If by referring to the "old" Z06, then you must be implying the "new" Z06 as the Z06 with the performance package. Then no, the GT500 doesn't stand a chance. The Z06 w/PP is also $100K. Hell if I ever hit the money, I'd be getting a Z06 with the PP. I'd send it straight to Late Model Racecraft and that would be all she wrote. It's an insanely good car. However, when you look at bang for your buck performance, I don't think there's any doubt that the '13 GT500 is at the top of the list. |

The dyno numbers coming out for the gt500 need to be properly accounted for by ditching traditional drivetrain loss calculations. The carbon fiber drive shaft will take less hp to spin and this will become a linear function as rpms climb higher.
It's safe to assume that 15% loss is over calculated. It's likely closer to 12.5% loss because of this. I'd guesstimate the 5.8 is slightly underrated and makes an honest 685 fly wheel hp on an engine dyno fully dressed with tail pipes and accessories. That's factoring 610whp which some have gotten while others got 601, and 613.

The interesting thing is that current Z06 owners are selling their cars for the boss 302 that makes 60 less hp than the z06. Wonder why that is? |

I love mine. It's a hell of a lot more car than a Camaro. In content and price. Mustang has stayed the course, Camaro is still a new car, fresh from the grave.
