NO, like everyone they have their own drama. They constantly talk about how the LS7 makes too much power to be reliable and that engines are failing and then we find out there may have been an aftermarket cam involved and...

Anyway, other than the C7, I know what I need to know right now about the Z06. The GT"600" still interests me if they fix some problems, though. Love the interior. Same with the Z if they update the powerplant.

I don't think there is a single forum out there that doesn't fanboy up their cars. At least we aren't Camaro5!

As long as the car I drive puts a smile on my face, I don't need to be worrying about what makes other people smile. I love all the vehicles on the road xD

Anyways! I saw a baby blue gt500 at a dealership and my goodness was it awesome <3
The interior was so comfy and the quality wasn't bad!

I wouldn't bet on it being called the GT600. GT500 and GT350 are both historical names that don't always correspond to HP. The latest ford Shelby was 550 and it was still the GT500

Ford has made amazing improvements in quality in the last decade.

I'll have one please... good looking car.

Gunzero · 06-13-2011, 01:16 AM

Indeed they have

Especially with their current lineup

I will admit that just having the car in my sig. and drawing "Oh he's overly proud and has a small **** blah blah blah" from it does make me feel pretty damn good. It means that people are hating, and I love it. I used to say stuff like that about people with corvette's and Viper's, too. Now I say it about 599 and GT2 owners, lmao!.

the thing is you have to remember where you are... you are an outsider, and a troll for the most part. you only garnered the small penis comment, because you are like

to the mighty LSX you newbie Z owners.. on a Z site.. take that **** somewhere else... you seem somewhat knowledgable about cars, and then sometimes you go over the top... You know you are a troll, and you tool about... im not the 1st person to tell you so.. but I have to wonder if you have any social skills in real life... because if you are irl as you are here, i would doubt that you have ever seen the inside of a woman without paying for her...

However, it WAS at least on topic.

I daily drive a 145bhp car and love it. Does that mean my **** is 12" on work-days?

Of course I won't sway these people. Most of them have cars making around 280whp and complain about wheelspin and not being able to "control all that power". 600bhp is just good discussion material for 'em. Not something they actually are contemplating.

I never said none of it was fact... but a good portion of it is your opinion, and honestly thats great. but you don't offer it as such, you offer it as tho, your word was law. and it's laughable at best. I daily drive a chevy.. and old at 190bhp v6... lol and I love it. again, you only were taunted with the penis comment, because your trolling is old and played out... you wanna discuss how superior the LSX is, goto the corvette/camaro/chevy forums.

If I felt the need to brag about conquests on the internet I would agree with you, lol. As to "seeing" the inside of a woman, wtf are you doing? You should be FEELING! (unless your a gynecologist)

We are discussing the GT"600" in this post. My Z06 was mentioned once..."I wonder how they would like me working for Ford and pulling up in it."

From there, you guys grabbed the ball and ran. I honestly think you care more about my car than I do. I haven't cranked it in a week or two or something. I'm off playing with other toys or at work or hanging out with friends.

Hell, I'm already planning on who I'm going to sell it to when I go for the next toy.

Live, love, and have fun. To me, that means running my keyboard a little when I get bored, too!

That is the current GT500. Supposedly the YM'13 GT500 will have slight revisions to the exterior (maybe different fascia/LED DRL or something, who knows?) and maybe another up-tick in the interior.

Have you sat in the Recaro's in the '12 GT500? They are sex. Interior on the car is already awesome, just need to fix the center console imo, but maybe my forearm is just the right length where my elbow bumps the latch, YMMV.

My elbow bumps the latch on my Z and 5.0. You get used to it after a while and learn to rest your arm in a different position.

Anyways, the GT500 in the pictures has a solid axle. You can clearly see the lower control arms in the side profile pics... not sure why the mag people didn't pick up on that.

m4a1mustang · 06-13-2011, 09:19 AM

The biggest differences I see are the brakes. The rear rotors are considerably larger and the fronts are bigger as well. There are some better shots elsewhere of this car and another one (black w/ blue stripes) and you can clearly see the fronts are at least a 14.5" 2 piece and the rears are 13"+.

Not sure why they didn't pick up on the fact that the 2012 is already out and they are catching '13 test mules. That article is junk in my opinion because of the IRS being hinted at (BS as we both noted), and they don't even know what year test mule they are observing.

The console is a minor thing, you're right, I could adjust, but the interior is just so damn nice that it was the only thing I could nit-pick at aside from the wasted space behind the driver/passenger seats!
