lets put it this way... i looked for a c5 z06, couldnt afford car or insurance, so i looked for a base c5, couldnt afford insurance, looked at a cobra, couldnt afford insurance, ended up w/ a slow GT...

Z06 is another class of car, the only GM car i would take over it is a Vauxhall VX220 just because i come from a background of Fiero's and the VX220 is like the new fiero but w/ a 2.2 turbo

oh and in stock trim the mustang is a pig at turning... fiero > mustang well it did untill i put my big tires in the back haha

but a Z06 is 600+lbs lighter, handles much better, and brakes much better. it's just a superior platform for a performance car. power is but one aspect.


i'd go with the Z06.

+100

Cobras make easier hp, but Vettes don't need as much power to put to the ground. It's not uncommon for a zo6 to beat a Cobra that is making nearly 100 more rwhp.

I would probably go with the ZO6, just an all round sweet car, style power and prestige.
