You know do love the new Mustang, but I'd still rather have a GM car (thought not a vette  ::)).   ;D

Bah! It does not look as comfortable as my C6 (w/Z51)! Nor does it look as sleek and fast!

Looks like a nice car Chomp, but to be honest I'm not really liking the C6 vette-it looks to much like a Dodge Viper for my tastes.  I think I like the C5 better, but since the C6 is new-maybe it will grow on me.

I don't like the retractable headlights on the C5... I've heard they are costly to maintain...

Ok then, what are the specs on the Z06?  You don't know  do you?  Because its not out yet.  So shut up, and accept it that the pony will be the fastest(even if it beats GM for 15 minutes)

I have heard the same thing about their lights-but I still like the design.

here are some 2006 z06 stats for you (btw, personally i would rather own the cobra)

The engine is the LS7 7.0-liter/427-cubic-inch Gen IV making 500 bhp @ 6200 rpm and 475 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm with a 7000 rpm redline. the car weighs 3130 lbs and with its 6-speed (connected to an LSD) it can go 0-60mph in 3.9 and complete the quarter in 11.9 sec @ 120 mph. although the new engine is a 427 it is still of a small block design. the differences between the LS2 and the LS7 are: different cylinder block casting, wider bores, front cover, oil pan, exhaust manifolds and cylinder heads. the engine has 11.0:1 compression with a cam that has .591 inch lift and 104.8 mm bores with 101.6 mm of stroke. the car has 18 x 9.5-inch wheels in the front (with 275/35ZR18 goodyear rubber) and out back it has 19 x 12's (with 325/30ZR19 rubber).

Fine just make me look like an ass!  Does the Z06 look any better than the C6?

It amazes me that the Pony gets 50hp less with 1.6L less.  More efficient engine+supercharger?  Not as efficient as my new patented Urine-Powered car though!!!
