Too bad the balancer is 26 lbs, and the snout of the crank can snap. [Frown]

I thought the balancer weighed 50 #'s which is 26 #'s heavier than the ford GT? [Confused]

How much is the car going to weigh? yeah 500hp with a blower but is it going to compete with the NA decently light Zo6?

yeah um 3100ish lbs Z06 505/500 against a 500/480 3900lb fat pig...I mean don't get me wrong it'll be a nice car with a hefty powerplant, but dont expect it to kill stock Z06's.

you're on the right board to be a Z06 fan.

WOW I didn't know 3900 [Eek!] [Eek!] What is Ford thinking????? Thats heavy!!! Thats pretty hard on parts too. Tough for the tranny and rest of the drivetrain to be lugging around 4000+ with passengers. Oh well. I am sure it will still be pretty quick and there is always the whipple or KB upgrade [burnout]

dude.. iim love with the cobra.. but stock vs stock the z06 is out of reach... now if you talk about modded cars then it'll be up to whoever has deeper pockets.

has nothing to do with being a z06 fan.. just gotto respect the new Z06. they are two different cars so it's difficult to compare but both should be respected. [Wink]

It kills me that they are putting that killer powerplant in such a whale.

Surely 4000+ lbs won't do well in the turns. No 4000 lbs car will for that matter.

I don't know what they hell they did to make it so heavy, but take it out!

GT500 = weighs at least 500 pounds more than the competition.

OMFG [Eek!] I wonder how much it will cost to insure that thing. Sux that the production numbers will be limited. I think Ford is making a big mistake there.

I beg to differ! My SRT handles very well and most rags tested it around .88-.90g's in the skid pad. The GT will be fine!

now I know 'handling' means different things to different people, but lateral grip is really but one of the components that make a car a 'decent handler'

generally speaking, muscle cars are not great handlers even if they have a lot of grip IMHO

Stock for stock the edge will go to the chebby but the past alway's repeat's itself and with a different pulley and a few little trick's the cobra will own. Iknw the next thing You are thinking is what if the C6 does upgrades? Well they will be a hell of alot more expensive than upgrading the cobra. Not to mention the cobra is a 4 seater which is a plus in most peoples book's. Bottom line is what is it going to cost to get one of these bad boy's compared to the vette?
