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 own a 09 c6 z06,it's a monster in stock form, add an aftermarket cam,headers,cai,mild ported heads and there stupid fast.
And all the coolers on it for a mild track car.
Best bang for the buck

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.
Orange peel makes your car faster.
It's works like the dimples on a golf ball.
All true, I wouldn't lie.

I like the GT, but it doesn't even stand any chance against a Stingray. A comparison to a Z06 is just downright useless and any situation where the GT holds up it boils down to absolutely clueless drivers or faked results

I watched something on Youtub with a FerrarI SF90 and some Lambo racing a ZR1. Not knowing what a ZR1 was my gob was thoroughly smacked when the Corvette gapped both.
Then I heard about the 1064HP.
That's a ton of horsies though just the rear tyres.
