The 08 Z51 will run head to head with the Z06.

A little denial can get it lowered though...Face it, the LS3 appears to be a Beast!.....
I'm inclined to agree with this. I certainly wish I had an LS3 under my hood. Time will tell how this engine will truly prove. I'm eager to hear more reports and actual 1/4 mile times.

I'm loving the 08 Vette more and more! Ford is pissing me off with the STUPID 5K-30K Dealer mark ups on the GT 500.

I just have very good information! I don't post BS!

Just get the 08 C6 and be done with it!

At the end of the day, the GT500 is still just a gussied up Mustang! As quick as it might be, and as nice a car it really is, it's still not in the same category as the C6.

Yeah, no kidding - it's not even in the same category as a C5.

I hear ya!

Right now, I'm really glad I decided on a 08 Vette instead of the Roush or GT Mustang. The LS3 is some kinda monster.
