Thought this might make for some interesting conversation. What type of impact do you believe the new GT500 Mustang will have on the C6 Z06? I'm sure that most everyone here will agree that the new Z06 will be a better all-around performer than the GT500, but will it be worth the extra $25-30k (assuming the new Z06 rings in at $65-70k)???
I think it will be very interesting to track the customer base for the new GT500. I would expect to see quite a few C5 Z owners look at the grass on Ford's side of the fence after facing such a substantial price increase above the C5 Z and a relatively underwhelming appearance (quite subjective opinion here).
I also wonder if the GT500 will have much impact on the MSRP of the new Z06. I really can't believe that GM didn't begin the design of the C6 Z06 without having a base price in mind, but some speculate that the price hasn't been set yet. If the price hasn't been set internally (doubtful) do you think there will be any changes made?
As automotive enthusiasts, I think that we're all enjoying a truly phenomenal run of new cars hitting the market. The performance numbers are just outstanding, and the competition is only going to produce better and better vehicles from every manufacturer. God Bless America!!!
