RE: Z06 or keep the GT?
the GT500 makes for a HORRIBLE track car. it was built for drag racing
It depends on how competitive you want to get here. The new ZO6 is very nice but if this is going to be a race car, I would look for a 2005 C6 Z51 car. It has the new body, 400hp (which is close to the 04 ZO6). And you can mod it to 500hp probably quite easily.

Well right now since I am young, I am just getting seat time. I usually go to Carolina Motorsports Park, Roebling, Road Atlanta, stuff like that. Most of the stuff that I do is just practice, or test and tune, not full out races or anything.
Later on when I get more experience, I can start to do actual races.

There is no such thing as a "daily driver/ Road race car".
Still have me confused...
You gonna do parking lot 'autocross kinda stuff'. If so just get a Mustang GT for street, and a couple year old latest generation Miata for developing your road course driving skills.

I know where you can get a immaculate 01 Z06 with 22k miles on it for 31,900. This car is so very nice, I almost bought it before I got my mustang. The lady who owned it before Paul was the president of theCorvette Society of Tulsa.Contact Paul Hodgson at Riverside Chevrolet in Tulsa, Ok. Their number is 918-446-2200. I have his cell number as well. If your interested you can pm me and I'll give it to you.

Hadthree C5s, last one was 02 Z06. The Z06 was a far better handling and responsive car than the other C5s and it was a 6 speed. I would go witha 02/03/04 C5Z06 (01 had 20 lesshp) overthe mustang for road racing, especially the almost 4000 pound GT500.

This is a Mustang forum if you want a car for roadracing this is not the place and you bought the wrong car to begin with!
Not trying to be an **** but that is the straight up truth of the matter.

You could always goto www.mpsautosalvage.com and pick up a 05 GT for under 8 and build it up for the track. Just my .02 .
