bring out a mustang that will have more hp.............but still handle like s***.

I figured they'd go F/I. That's all they had left on the table to get over 600HP without a monster motor that wouldn't keep them within CAFE rules.

Trying to figure out why they are still using transverse leaf springs front and rear on it.

i think the ZR1 is in a whole other league than the GTR..
the z06 is faster than a 911 turbo around a track stock v stock (and supposedly the GTR appx = 911 turbo)

the ZR1 should blow both the 911 turbo and the GTR away (and pretty much most other cars too)
last time i was at thunderhill i saw a shelby GT500 and the C6 z06 lapping at the same itme, and it could have been driver difference but the GT500 was getting spanked.

i was thinking of the same thing since i noticed that '04 Z06 with 15k miles can be purchased for only $32k USD
during my research here is something i found

seems like z06 vettes are just absolutely bad ass if you can get over the typical image of corvette owners

What are you trying to say about Corveete owners? I own a 1990 and my old man is trying to get one of these ZR1's pre-ordered at a local dealership. I know a few Camaro owners and i'd rather ride with Vette owners any day.
