Default C7 Z06 Takes on Procharged Shelby GT350



Corvette’s 154-mph run not enough to beat Shelby GT350 Mustang on California airstrip.

What next, Farm Truck with two stages of nitrous out-accelerates the Z06?

If nothing else, it held its own vs a 1000hp car until the top of 3rd. Nothing too shabby about that.

Not sure what all the hype is about. The Shelby is probably making a good 350 rwhp more and that's the end result? The Z06 kept up pretty well in my opinion.

You guys totally missed the point. The GT was only $100K after dealer mark up and another $20K in upgrades.

But I've long believed comparing modified cars to stock proves very little. Give me a '81 TransAm and $100K I can do better.

Heck, I already built the motor, only $90K left to spend on trans, rear end, and suspension. I think I can do it! :-)
