Living in Michigan, I'll take AWD any day of the year. (But a ZO6 may be in the plans!!)

The Brits, they will never give American cars there props without a little bit of Snob.
Thats cause C5R's and C6R's have dominated GT 1 for how long now. I could care less what they say about us they still haven't figured out how even to do decent electrical wiring in a car since my dads day.

But that show is so frickin funny.
Did you see the EVO FQ-320 actually put up a quicker lap with the STIG than the C6?
BTW, I would have killed that pre-pubescent boy if he did that to my car! LOL
And then he asked about his BIKE that got run over LOL!!

Jeremy Clarkson loved the base C6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp_S6NLooYU
Clarkson: "I love the noise, I love everything"
Fifth Gear also liked the Z06 - they gave the "Car of The Year" award.
Here is their review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9bByWD4Oxs
I'd say the Brits can't really deny the 'Vette.

The only advantages the Shelby has over the Evo is the ability to go extremely fast for a low dollar, but look at the "entry fee." The other advantage is that it will probably undoubtedly be a collectible, and worth 10x's more than an Evo will ever be worth in the future.

I guess that's a matter of opinion. I'm not a big Corvette fan, but I love the Z06. I think the Z06 looks lightyears better than a standard Corvette, despite the subtle changes. In the case of the Corvette, less is more. They're both hot looking, but in totally different ways.

if u're into stupid straight-line power ONLY, i guess do it.
keep in mind if u keep ur Evo u don't have to take the loss on the trade-in for the gt500, then u an use the money u would have lost if u did the trade in, get a big turbo, and have a car that has 2 more doors, great handling, and good power.
my point if the gt500 can trap 500mph with $5000 in mods, its still 4000lbs, and a 4000lbs car just....disappoints... who knows, maybe u like AMGs, this might suit u then

Anyway, like the last guy said, if you want stupid-fast straight-line speed, go for the Shelby. At 4000 lbs, they're just like AMGs, as he also mentioned....just a land barge that will haul *** in a straight line. 4000 lb vehicles don't make for good cornering.

Ford will atleast cover stuff under warranty. Mits... well there is no warranty on the Evo. One big plus for the Shelby is its an attention getter from everyone kids to old people love the car. The police were the only ones who like evos. They see the wing and follow you cause they know you must be speeding or just about to.
