I agree, except for the fact these particular cars are not street legal. Still, I love 'em.

For comparison - how's this:

LOL, yep.
What is the point?
I sold my Z06, crashed my GTO... but I need to convince the forum members that the GTO is a nice looking car.
I think it's hideous (in every incarnation posted), but whatever. Like it; buy another, drive it, mod it... enjoy.

Lol wut..what you talking about man.

This is closure for a chapter that will never be completed (I think the guy who bought the car parted it out...).

Unless you pick up the slack.

Agreed. Once we all finally figured out that a GTO was totaled and a Z06 was sold, we get to see random pictures of a BMW track car and Penske's old '67 Camaro.

Such naysayers holy s*** anyway the reason for the odd cars, is they are in the same class as the GTO. It's competitive. Unlike MANY other cars..

I have a feeling, one of these beats a stock Z06 left and right.

Edit: I forgot about the "Muscle Car" connection, easily the best reason cars like this thrive..

Did you just compare purpose-built track-only race cars to a stock C5Z06?

No, more specifically a properly setup, lightened, and Balanced GT Car. Not only street legal, but street driveable..

You're going to do a hell of a lot of work trying to prove it incorrect...

Purpose built? At what level...it would be close.

You are straying again with your odd posts. Stay focused. Dude, you showed these 2 pictures...




...then you said "I have a feeling, one of these beats a stock Z06 left and right."

Are you telling me neither of those cars is a track-only race car?

Sure I digress, however you are missing the point. The Z06 is a sports car, agreed.

As a GT Car, it can hold it's own...even with no back seat, low as f***, relatively harsh ride [stock], low vision, high insurance, higher theft/vandalism.

In either case, like I stated..both cars are only as fast as you want them to be..except, it should be close.

If I am missing the point, it is because I don't understand your posts. So much randomness and odd tangents. Oh, well, I'm out of this weird thread. LOL

Back on topic..a modified Z06 is another story. But then again, so is a heavily modified GTO...
