The new GT500 is either quicker or is on par with the C5 Z06 actually. I say on par beccause there have been cases where a real good driver was able to pull off a 3.9 0-60 time as well as a high 11 sec 1/4 using a stock Z06. But around bends, that is a differnet story...Corvette owns

I think he is talking about the C6 ZO6 and not the C5. Those are magazine times. I would bet money that the Shelby is faster than that. They said the '03 Cobra was 4.9 to 60 and 13.2 1/4. We all know those are faster than that. I sure that the Shelby will be capable of high 11s in actuality.

RE: car and driver GT500
When I was reading that article, I was checking out the specs and noticed it had an eaton mr112 blower on it. Isn't that eaton a roots style supercharger? I heard it was going to have a twin-screw supercharger. If it comes 500 ponies with that weak eaton, think of what a supercharger swap will do to that 5.4
