Your list is good, but you left out the original Ford GT that beat Ferrari at LeMans four years in a row in the late '60s.
You could also add the ZR-1 Corvette series (the King of the Hill) 1990...
"the C6 runs 0-60 in 3.4 secs, and 0-100 in 9.9 secs which is a little disappointing, but still a very good time. "

I don't know what you are smoking, but it...
This is a well reasoned post about a complex subject.
There is a vast range of cars available to buyers. I saw posts here by someone that bought a Ford Excort and was disappointed because it...
Mine is also the Corvette. I'm older and drove a 63 split window. Now my daily driver is a 2000 C5 Coupe. 0-60 in 4.8 and smooth as silk in traffic. Had it at 165 and can take 90 degree corners at...
DING!

Is someone keeping score?
Bingo. Americans are large people. They don't easily fit into Japanese cars. It's not just the Japansese cars, Porsche builds cars that are too small for the upper 50% of Americans based on size....
I'm surprised that no one here has a thread on the Ford GT. Maybe I just had a senior moment and missed it.
The remake of Henry Ford III's "beat Enzo" car from the 60's is a fearsome performer.

Am I correct that these are "Owner's Manuals", not Service Manuals?
I posted a link to digital corvettes where that and more information could be found. If all you want to see is information supporting what I have stated then here's your link:

I hope that you noticed the last (or the prior two) American Lemans races. In the last, the Saleen S7 fought off the Lambo to take third. This was possible because there were only two Corvettes...
[QUOTE=MrVette83]I've talked with Dave Hill(The father of the current Corvette and the C6) and seen many of his seminars in Bowling Green, KY at the National Corvette Museum and he has stated that...
IF the C6 Z06 does materialize with the 500 HP motor and the aircraft aluminum hydro-formed frame at 2800+ lbs and a fifties - sixties price, YOU GOT IT!
Otherwise, the Ford GT at $150,000 is THE...
The Z06 handles better than a V8 Ferrari. The Mustang, being a Mustang, goes in the woods.
A previous post mentioned Borla. Borla stainless is good.
Not too racy and loud is a very personal thing. I decided not to do this thing on my C5 because the most performance inprovement came...
The C3 is a split personality series. The early C3's with the big block (427 or 454) had way more power than they could put on the pavement. According to Chevy, they had less actual power than the...
Panoz builds cars in North Georgia. I live on an island off the Georgia coast. I've seen their stuff at Road Atlanta. Their road car (coupe whatever) is a $90,000 failure to best the stock...
A stock C5 Vette would trash this piece of junk.
Americans build their own crazy trucks for much less money and with much more power. Check out the Dodge truck with the Viper V-10 engine, 500 HP;...
I agree. Ferrari has always been about the racing. Back in 63-64, Ford almost closed a deal to buy Ferrari. Henry Ford III met with Enzo in Italy to finalize the sale. Enzo agreed with all the...
:cool:
Units must be specified. In the US the F1 car weighs 1320 lbs and still has only 900 hp. Or at hp per ton, practically every vehicle produced today has more HP than tons of weight - even...
You may be quite correct. Your rumor may be more correct than my rumor. GM surely has a good thing in the OHV engines. The LS1 in my C5 has great "power density". That's power divided by engine...
You have forgotten that this thread topic is about value. This probably happens to you often, doesn't it? Trouble keeping focus?
But, if what "big stars" do is your current focus, you are now...
Let's see
{Second, the person who claimed to have reachde over 200mph in their M5, also said that it wasnt stock, that infact it had a G Power upgrade, whatever that is.}
You seem to have no...
The Viper is barbarian transportation. It's very fast and very crude. Car & Driver tested it within the past year and cooked breakfast on the door sill. They published a picture of a sunny-side up...
A bear and a rabbit meet in the woods. "Do you mind when shit sticks to your fur?" the bear asks the rabbit.
"No", says the rabbit.
"Good" says the bear, who picks up the rabbit and uses him...
