You are taking the lesser performance model in the company's lineup and comparing it to the flagship performance model of the other company.
Sure they serve different purposes in the sense on vette = coupe GT500 = 2+2. But that is Fords TOP model performance car. That is why I compare them. This whole tread is pointless anyway. For the money that is in the GT500 you could take practically any car on the road and make it faster after market. Nothing is truely ever comparable once you allow the "after market" argument to come in.

Then why not also compare the GT500 to the CTS-V? I mean, the Shelby and the Caddy have more in common than the GT500 and the Corvette do. Is the CTS-V not the top GM machine that sports four seats? Heck, even the weight differential between the CTS-V and the GT500 is only about 200lbs versus the 600lb difference between the GT500 and the Corvette.

Yeah, let's bring a car that is 2 model years old into the equation.

That is a good deal. However, to use the point made many, many times on this board but in a different way, I could buy the 2010 GT500 for $48K, spend $7K for a KB blower and a set of drag radials, run mid-to-low 10's in the quarter and have spent $13K less than you did to get into your Z06.
