[MegaMan]

Interesting comparison between the GT and Z06, quick video/read - the GT holds up pretty darn well, impressive!!

Did you read the part where the Mustang was either modded or the Corvette owner couldn't drive?

The Z06 is quicker than the GT500...It's a ten second car from the factory.

Those roll racing events are stupid.

@MegaMan ......and the best part is, at the end of the day we get to drive off in a Mustang EB/GT/DH .....and the other guy is driving away in a corvette .....a knock-off wanna be euro car.

From experience,

I am modded with simple performance mod (i.e steeda cold air intake plus 90mm dark horse throttle body and H-pipe exhaust) and some more circuit track focus mods to the suspension and I still lost to a stock C8 with a 6.2L (runtime 12.1sec to his 11.9sec) Maybe it’s me as a driver, but I’ve been eyeballing the 5.5L corvettes for awhile and would love to experience one on track.

could be driver, could be car. I got a wake up call when I first got into road racing.....got beat regularly by Miata's. they handled the twisties better than me being so light.

I went to a few track events with DriveNASA and TurnOne. When I had an instructor with me, I pick their brain and took every bit of knowledge they gave me. I still don’t think I’m fast but I’m learning.

I have both a C8 and a DH and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt the C8 is faster in every metric possible. Heck if you want I can make a video of my wife’s Ford Edge beating my DH in a race.

Weelllll, anyone can say what they want but I had a C5 Z06 that would out run my new 2025, I'm pretty sure. It pulled ungodly hard from dead stop or rolling. It had a catback and minor edit that's all. It was rated at a stock 405hp and was about 700 to 800 pounds lighter than a GT which makes a LOT of difference. Chevrolet advertised a top end of 171 mph due to gearing (stock 350hp had a higher top end) and it would get there quick. It was tracked at Road Atlanta, Barber Motorsports, and Little Talledega so it and me had some experience.

That said, I got rid of it because it was a POS except for the engine and paint job. The paint job was a light year ahead of my race red GT sitting in my garage. Yep, Chevrolet did a good paint job back in the day. Ford has orange peel down to a fine art..... FWIW.

.....yeah sure. Friend has a C8. Will is beat my GT - of course, but then he drives a clown car that looks like s child's transformer toy only with $hitttier characteristics. Couldn't care less about it's (C8's) performance, it's still a clown car. Cheap copy of crap euro fluff. No matter what they do the C8 still sounds like what it is - a tinny/raspy sounding, ugly clown car. Anyway why are we talking about crap cars on a Mustang forum.....there must be some rule against that on this forum?

Stay with it. Takes time. I didn't become competitive till after about 4 years progressing through the different levels and even then I continued to learn about the car and the driver. Set a realistic goal each year/season, that'll help motivate you to give it your best.

I know the feeling

I've owned two C7 Z06's. There is no comparison between the Mustang GT and the Z06. The Z06's were without a doubt the best bang for the buck cars I've ever owned.

I'm not sure I can take anything you say seriously after these two comments.
