Default stang vs. '03 Z06 Vet

just a word here on how sweet the 5.0 is.

Gave an '03 Z06 Vet a little run the other day.

Didn't beat him by any means but kept up with
him enough, that when we both got out at the
same parking-lot he walked over and said
" that little stangs pretty damn quick"


I LOVE IT !!!!!

5.0's Rock !!!
Cant wait till I get some serious power in her!

I really hope your joking
03 Z06= high 12's in the 1/4
89LX vert = high 14's-low 15's
The Z06 would utterly destroy you. Sorry to burst your bubble but we like to be realistic here at Mustang Forums. Oh yea there was also no such thing as a Z06 Vert, they only made them in a FRC (fixed roof coupe) and all were 6 speeds. So even if you ran a regular auto 03 Vette, it's still a low 13 car to your high 14 low 15 car.

doesnt matter. it would have to be some pretty extreme circumstances for a 89 vert to keep up with even an auto Z06.

It was a Z06
I sat at the light next to him for couple mins.
and stopped and talked to him for about 10 mins afterwards also
Clearly labled on front fender wheel
Z06 408 hp - Black coupe. ( i said Vet not vert )

and anyway, i just said i was quick enough to impress him a little.
that was the point i was going for.

Geez, ill keep my mouth shut unless just flog a Ferrari someday

Yea sorry I see that you said Vet not vert. Still there was never an auto Z06. I did not mean to bash you, it's just that your post reads like you kept up with him, and maybe you did in this one instance but that does not mean anything. I am not trying to be a jerk it's that sometimes we get members here who are a bit unrealistic when it comes to the capibility if thier cars. I meant no harm or insult.
