I have an '01 C5 as a weekend car and it's a great car (has a bit more road manners)...but I also enjoy my Stang a heck of a lot!!
did I say anything about the Z06? NO! Read what I posted before you start making yerself look like a fool.:Zip2:$uperstang said:Dude you must be nutz! The new Zo6 will walk all over the GT500. Look at the numbers: Z06 - 11.5-12.2 in the 1/4 STOCK that I have seen run
Best time I have seen a GT500 run is 12.7 - 12.9 STOCK! They are HEAVY ASS PIGS!!
I am a MUSTANG OWNER FOR LIFE and always have been but do not under-estimate the power of the C6's they are simply POWERFULL!!!!
BY THE WAY I LOVE THE CONVERSION!! GREAT JOB!!!
DarkFireGT said:Again, it look nice. What I would do, if I were to do what you did with the badging and everthing, is put "Tribute Edition" or something similar. That way it's obvious you're not trying to pass it off as a GT500. I think we all believe (or at least most) that you are not trying to drive around passing it off as a GT500, but as stated, the average Joe is going to see that and think it's a GT500. Tribute edition would eliminate that. I mean, while I'm sure you get compliments, it's gotta be annoying to have to answer the question if it's a real GT500, and then when you answer, here them say "oh".. Just a thought. In any event, it was done well. It looks clean.

The Ford Vehicle you are looking at is actually a Mustang GT and is only modified to look similar to the GT500. I appologize to any Mustang fans who are butt hurt by said modifications, but this is my vehicle. If you would like to make my car payments for me, I would consider possibly reverting some of the modifications back to stock appearance so that you will not be so upset, but reserve the right to tell you to kiss my rear bumper.

cowtown said:See the problem here is he's using C6 and Z06 interchangibly and that is of course completely incorrect.

06RubyGT said:Give the "pigs" monicker a rest! Every version of the S-197 Mustang was designed as a road car, with all the amenities to make driving fun, safe, and comfortable for its occupants. If all you care about is the dragstrip, stick a 700hp engine in a tube frame and have at it! What exactly would YOU cut out of these cars to lose weight? I guarantee that whatever YOU choose to eliminate or cheapen is one of the things that gives actual car buyers (you know, people who actually buy a Mustang as a mode of transportation) a reason to buy. If a change that reduces weight also reduces comfort, safety, or durability (I for one plan on keeping mine for at least the next 15 years), then it is a bad trade-off for the vast majority of purchasers.

that makes sense right there.RetiredGeneral said:I couldn't make it through 3 pages of flames, I gave up after the 1st page, so I don't know where this thread ended, but the car looks sick. Keep the Shelby emblems. I don't know why everyone get's all offended when people make clones. Go to any car show and count the number of fiberglass A/C Cobras there are... I guess they are posers too. There have been clone COPO cars selling for rediculous amounts on Barret-Jackson (Take that for what it's worth), so there is a market for clones. Don't listen to the haters, get a supercharger, and have a little fun.
