Handling... No By those stats the GT is giving up a lot of handling to the Z06. To the ZL1, handling looks closer but edge ZL1. Would come down to driver on that one.

Straight up handling the zl1 will definitely hold the advantage, but with the HUGE acceleration difference and the obvious braking advantage, I have a hard time swallowing that the zl1 is going to win on most tracks. The ZL1 is going to carry more speed through the turn, but the gt500 can accelerate way faster and maintain that speed longer before turn-in with better braking.

11.8 @ 123 is about the slowest you can make a z06 run.

Over on SVTPerformance, they are making the new GT500 out to be a ZR1 competitor. Apparently the Z06 isn't enough.

I think the only comparisons have been in the HP department. Everyone over there knows that mid/high 10's beats mid/high 11's every day. |

It's true that a few of the brighter ones got after the idiots who stated such things, but they still seriously said such things. ZR1 Here... Quote:

The new GT500 is competition on a drag strip for a Z06. Not on a road course, but I think it will be a drivers race on the drag strip. It's already trapped @ 129 MPH which is indeed Z06 territory.
It can be compared to the ZR1 though, as it's a 200+ MPH car. If you're looking to hit that mark, there's nothing even close to the price of a GT500 that can get you there. For 55K you get a 200 mph showroom stock Mustang. That's pretty insane guys, I don't think there's any rebuttal to that. |

I think the GT500 and the Zr1 are tight competition.. based off of numbers of course.
I just hope the GT500 holds a better value than the Zr1. Its really upsetting to see those $120,000 corvettes going for $75,000 2 years later. |
