What would you rather?

[WidowrRacing]

I’m feeling the winter blahs so I thought I would start a fun poll to see what you guys think car vs car.
I tried to pick these cars in the same price range.
Obviously all the other cars would be stock/used with low kms however the 19 GT could be ordered brand new just the way you want it to make it sorta fair.

[Minaccia]

I would take a 19 GT and mod it my way.

[WidowrRacing]

Nice Lou.....that’s why I added that option vs the others.

[RedSN]

Z06

I’ve seen what these can do at Mosport. Yes please!

[Scrape]

So you are the one that was the one vote Don. :dejection:

[Scrape]

Oh my vote would be a used GT350 if it was on the list.

[RedSN]

^^^yeah, 350 was NOT on the list, so I voted Z06, LOL

[WidowrRacing]

I tried to go back into the poll and add more cars but I couldn’t....my bad.

Also it should be mentioned they only produced approximately 1800 Z28’s and that thing kicks @ss on a road course if that’s your thing.
It would have been my 2nd choice.

And.....only approximately 1500 Boss Laguna Seca’s were produced for those considering that rare car with the code name “Roadrunner” engine.

[hammerhead]

well thought out poll -I have to think about it more...

[Darkhorse]

The Camaro should have been a ZL1, I think the Z28 is mega coin.

I've not owned a 13/14 GT500 and maybe one day I'll circle back, but the 2019 GT is your greatest bang for the buck. Even N/A they are a weapon!!

[WidowrRacing]

[QUOTE=Darkhorse;284189]The Camaro should have been a ZL1, I think the Z28 is mega coin.

$60gs can buy you a Z28 putting it in the same price range.
It’s a wicked car with 505hp, ceramic brakes, incredible suspension tech and 305 tires on all 4 corners!

For the Z/28, Boss and 13/14 GT500 I tried to play on the 2yr run for them and low production numbers.

In saying that I recently read somewhere Ford only produced ONE 2014 GT500 in gotta have it green. This explains it.

[Mustang4]

Love my 2018 GT so a fully loaded 2019 Gt is a no brainer. Great cars.

[ZR]

Vette got my vote as well.

[55 HD]

I went Vette. Had the 2007 Model when it just came out,but it wasn't the Z06

[WidowrRacing]

Couple of rollin pics of these two awesome cars in action:

[Laffs]

Vette followed closely by the Gt500. The looks of the vette and how she responds to bolt on, coupled with current price point makes it dunk for me.

[WidowrRacing]

No denying the Z06 is a rocket and great looking car.

[Blackmare]

Had to vote Z06. Would love to try one someday.

[Nsty04SVT]

Z06 for me as well....I would have ticked the GT350 box if there was one

[WTF]

I think I'd be happy with a Boss

[Gr8Stang]

No love for the Boss LS!?

[Screw]

Toss up went Shelby on my vote

[WidowrRacing]

Since I’ve added pics of the other rides:

This would be my colour combo for my pick.

[WidowrRacing]

I started a similar thread on the LS1 tech forum and I’m curious how it will look vs ours.
The only change I made was I substituted the 2019 GT for a 2019 Camaro SS.

Like I said I have the winter blahs and have sweet cars on the brain.

[Screw]

I’m surprised the fox ahmmm coyote is neck n neck with a Shelby

You would have a blast driving with that 10 speed automatic. So versatile for any driving style.

[Stephen06GT]

BOSS for me, and it wouldn't even have to be the LS. Actually I'd prefer it not be. In grabber blue please.

[WidowrRacing]

Interesting results so far I must say!

I’m kinda surprised no love for the Z/28 from the road course guys with it being equipped arguably with the best brakes and suspension out of all the choices above.

[Minaccia]

Buddyyyyy it's a Mustang club how can you be surprised by the outcome, I'm surprised the Vette received the votes it did but it is more of an older mans car so it would explain it.

As for the Camaro I personally would only own up to a gen 3, since owning this auto Coyote Mustang my views on what cars I want to own have changed big time and I no longer care for any other car but an auto Mustang GT and I don't even have interest in the Italian sports cars any more except maybe to have one on a weekend but not to own one.

Buddddyyyy.....I’m surprised that the Z06 is doing so well on a Mustang site also....but it’s a beast with the power to weight ratio and a great looking car so I get it.
It’s definitely not an old man car anymore.

[Darkhorse]

Fab is selling his mint mint mint Grabber Blue Boss for all you Boss fans.

[mavrrrick]

I'd have to go GT500

[ON BOOST]

My choice for a nice track (the kind that involves turns) weapon/driver is the Z06. However, if there had been a gt350 option in the poll it would of had my vote

Having owned and tracked a 2012 Boss, I'd love to take a spin in the Z/28 to see how it compares. The Boss was awesome and confidence inspiring around Mosport....

Who is the person selling? Is there an add?

[Hutch]

I have always liked the C6 Z06’s. They are by far my favourite corvette. If I ever owned one it would immediately get cam’s!! One big issue I have with them is that to drive them you need to sit inside them. I think I would throw up in my mouth a little every time. Super ugly inside. Outside is amazing. I actually had a look and there are a few c6 z06 in the $30’s but then I’m stuck with a 2 seater which sucks when I have a family. I drove my Shelby a lot last summer and kids came with me a bunch. That’s big draw back for me with the Z06 also. I actually would really like a 11/12 Shelby PP car in dark blue. That car is perfect to me but I am very happy with my vista blue 08 and have been working hard at making it into what I want.

[WidowrRacing]

Yes the C6 Vette has taken a lot of heat for their interior but I think the looks and performance make up for it with most buyers. Swapping the H\C\I makes it that much better as they seem to make over 600hp easily.

Check this out... and make sure you watch up to the 2 min. mark. I'd say with equal driver skill...it would be close.

^^^that looked like the "ed factor".

[1BAD92LX]

Tough call on this on one. I think the 2019 Mustang GT with the right factory options should be king of the road course.

I'd pick a GT350 if it was an option

[Gr8Stang]

Can we add this one to the poll. :drool:

I watched that video recently and that Z/28 would have needed some sand removal after that one.

And that Cobra R is an extremely rare one and it will always be a cool car!

16-18 GT350.
Still the best looking Mustang built to date :D
And 16's can be had for a fully loaded 19 GT price now FYI ;)

I considered getting a 16 GT350, but after reading about a lot of engine replacements (oil consumption) over on svtperformance.com, decided against it. And there are owners of 17's with the same issue. If you go shopping for one of these bad boys, just make sure you check it out well and perhaps get an extended warranty on it if you can.....to be safe.

[RedSN]

...or just put the right oil in it

[Darkhorse]

Heard about a dealer in Alberta that had a few 17's sitting on the lot going for 59 or 61 or something. 0 miles, but two years old.

[G-ForceJunkie]

I picked the GT500 because that's what I WANT the most. In reality, if I had to own one, it would be the '19 GT, because that can actually replace something in my garage.

[WidowrRacing]

Watched a cool vid on Utube (head 2 head) for those that haven’t seen it I’ll share the link.

Z/28 vs GT350R

The sound of that GT350R at 8000+rpm is unbelievable.
Both very impressive cars!

Here are the poll results so far from the LS1tech site:

Winner GT350 R!!!! Can't wait to see the track times for the new GT500.....should up the ante even more.

[WidowrRacing]

Yes the GT350R was the winner...but that Z/28 would be a torque monster in comparison especially below 4000rpm.

I can remember talking to a guy who sold his GT500 for a GT350 and he loved the car but hated the power down low and driving it around town...He would drive in 1st gear mostly....he was installing a whipple last time we spoke and that seemed like a mod many were doing with those cars.

[Armen]

Surprised the Boss did so poorly. What a fantastic car that is.

[RedSN]

I can remember talking to a guy who sold his GT500 for a GT350 and he loved the car but hated the power down low and driving it around town.
Because it's supposed to be driven at 5000+ RPMs on the track.

And yet the 350R won the drag race as well? No doubt the 350/R are a different beast down low....but as RedSN said....they are meant to be running in the high RPMs on the track. And man does it ever sound great when you wind her up!

Yes
theres a reason why Ford went with the cross plane crank in the 2020 Shelby.The flat plane cranks do not like boost from what i understand.Yes they will make power but for how long ? whats the reliability when you start beating on it? i personally would keep that car N/A.

[FABMAN]

Since owning my S550 GT, I personally don’t think I would go back so for me it was an easy poll, 19 GT and then a very easy 2nd is the Z06...however I would prefer a 2011-2013 as they sorted the valve/lifter issues that affected some 08-10 c6 Z06. Also, not a huge fan of the vette interior but the LS7 makes up for that.

[Darkhorse]

Even regular 18+ GT's don't wake up until 4000 rpm. 4-6K is where it pulls hardest and that active exhaust sings.

[WidowrRacing]

I couldn’t imagine revving a 350R out until 8200rpm...it would be like riding a crotch rocket again.
The sport mode exhaust is just sick..I like how it’s been referred to as Chubaka gargling lol.

[5.4MarkVIII]

if we have to stick to the list would have to be the 2019 mustang or the z06. if it was cash in the bank and im gonna go buy a car it would be this

When I was in Utah at the Ford Adrenaline Academy we split track times with the GT350 crew and watching them hoon those bad boys for 2 days had me instantly convinced I must have one (some day). Even the stock exhaust is a thing of beauty under WOT. It's IMO the best mustang Ford has ever built. Some day ;)
