The Cd of the Z06 is .34, frontal area 22.3 sqft. The Cd of the Gt3 is .29, frontal area is 21.9 sqft. At 200kph (124mph) the Z06 needs 110.2hp to overcome drag, GT3 needs 94.7 hp to overcome drag. At 300kph (186mph) the Z06 needs 354.4 hp to overcome drag, GT3 needs 302.2 hp to overcome drag. You can see how the higher the speeds, the smaller the Z06 hp advantage becomes. The Z06 is 6-7 seconds faster still from 0-186 than the Gt3.

I agree that the Gt3 cannot catch the Z06, but disagree that the drag between the 2 is insignificant. If the LS7 was put in the regular Corvette body (Cd 0.28) you would see that car accelerating to 186 mph in FGT or CGT times.

IMO I wont mess w/ a Mustang. I have had two GT's and a modded Cobra back in the day. It is simply a hierchy issue. I wont bring myself down to the level of the basic baseball hat backward, crappy music blasting, MOROSO bumper sticker , sterotype guy mustang owner. When I was in high school , different story.
The pos ford is fast, big deal. A kid down my street has an old 5.0 LX Notchback that puts out god knows what hp, do I want it ? uhh no.
The Porsche TT's /Lambos/F cars rule the road. Then you have the
2 nd tier cars like the ///M's/AMG/RS4's /Z06
Then various VW's STI/EVOs/C6
Bottom feeders are the mustangs, eclipse, civics, etc
It doesnt matter how you slice it, that is the way it is.
Congrats on your kill bro, now its time for you to head back to the trailer park to dazzle the rest of your white trash, budweiser swilling hicks before heading back to work tomarrow at some stamping factory or rendering plant.
