Here are the facts and dyno's for that car...

http://mustanglife.tenmagazines.com/articles.asp?page=tenarticle&aid=3308

Remember that this power was made on C16. KB themselves will tell you it is only possible to be in the 600 range on pump gas. When you get in the big PSI range, octane becomes uber important with ANY kind of FI on ANY motor.

692rwhp is awfully close to 700rwhp(on Ca's 91 octane), a tune and some racing fuel and you're at 800rwhp, so what makes it seem the 800 is impossible to obtain? Besides, what F.I.'d car making over 700rwhp doesn't run racing fuel for added safety????? Actually no where on this thread did "pump" fuel come into the conversation and no claims about the 800rwhp being obtained on pump fuel were discussed. As to the prices of Vipers, we're talking "brand new" cars, not a demo or used example, for $55-65K, I'd rather have a "new" GT500 than a "used" Viper(besides Vipers and 'Vettes  aren't my cup of tea, I'd consider a 911 Turbo-much better made and will retain it's value better and being F.I.'d will respond to mods more readily, hey, I'm dreaming here, okay?).

Damn that GT500 looks amazing slammed to the ground. I wish I could justify having mine sit like that but with speed bumps and driveways I like the ability to be carefree.

Is every discussion on the Shelby forum going to turn into how a GT500 isn't worth what people are paying for? I think that one has gotten a bit old!
I love the GT500, wouldn't buy one at this point -- but I get whiplash every time I see one, and am envious of those who have one.

I wanted a convertible, and I don't even want to know what people are paying for GT500 verts!

Bravo to those who got one. They shouldn't have to defend their purchase every time they log in...

Yeah I hear that, I have offcial permission from the wife to trade in my GT for the GT-500 next year in September, hopefully prices will be a little bit more reasonable by then.

you may pay a little more for the GT500 and it might not be faster than a C6z06 but the torque curve, blower noise, and best sounding exhaust make it worth it. there are a lot of corvettes out there not many GT500s
