Maybe its time for a TT Mustang. Or they could bring back the GT somehow and TT that badboy instead, or both.

And if Grandma had *****, she's be Grandpa. 
I know you and I would buy one, but generaly the type of consumer that can drop $100,000+ on a car will be looking for more than performance. There are people that buy cars that cost well over $100,000 that don't perform as well as a C6, let alone the Z06. Take the Ferrari F430 as an example. Only 490 hp in that bad boy.
I just think it would benefit GM if it wasn't viewed by upper class society as a "Corvette". That's not a knock on the car. This car isn't designed for you and me.

If I had a 100k, Id buy one in a second.

I hope they spruce up the interior a bit.

Well, Dodge is suppossedly making the new "Diamondback" or "Coppermouth" or sometime of high performing Viper. 600+ponies for them, too. And Ford might be making something, they did have all those concepts, Shelby Roadster, GR1, and the like...

How can you even post this when people are lined up to pay 70k for a 40k Mustang.

That's a Shelby and some people view it as a collector's piece. And $70k is not $100,000+. Don't get so defensive, GMLegHumper.

you said anally violate

but i agree, looks wise i love the new gt500, but all it is is a modded GT. given, heavily modded, but none the less. and if it were available at the $40K price it would be a damn bargain - but not $70K. @ $70K its a dog.
I think ford needs to take a hint from GM and build a lighter more powerful cobra - even if there are two. The cobra and the cobra R or something. i dont know. now a days its a mustang v corvette world(till the camaro comes out) and you get what you pay for. We pay $20s for our stangs and they pay $40s for their vettes and we get stomped on(stock). if fords wants to build a $70K Cobra to compete with the Z06 i completely think they could do it. They just havnt. The GT500 is a competitor to the regualr vette, not the Z06, IMO.
you know what, im ranting, all i want from ford are unbreakable blocks, 6 spd trannies, and more displacement!!! if i got that, i would be a happy man!
