GT 350 just got crushed by the C8

Incorrect. Value is both objective and subjective, not simply objective as you portray it.

I stand corrected you are right. I just bought a C5 Z06 which I have been looking for for over a year. I paid more for it than I should have but to me it was worth it as the condition is pristine and miles very low. Best example I could find. I do not have a problem with a 350 at all it is just not worth the money to me for what you get and that has been made even worse with the GT500 and C8 in my opinion. My problem is when a 350 advocate tries to make his subjective value fact. If you have one or like them that is great to you it may be a super car to me they are overpriced for what you get. I can respect your subjective value and you should be able to respect mine instead of constantly being defensive or attacking. I am not referring to you personally just in general. This last weekend I switched cars with a friend of mine who has a 350. We drove back from a show about 20 miles. I said to him It sounds nice, Handles well but can't get out of it's own way and my knee is killing me( I have severe knee arthritis ) and he said yeah well your car steers like a boat but goes like a motherf__ker and we are still friends I do not want his car and he does not want mine. I will say maybe not on a closed course with prof drivers but on the road the C5 Z06 will give a 350 a hell of a fight. just my opinion after driving both.

In the end its C8 Z51 is going to beat the GT350r in every test....
For the same money

The Mustang and vette aren't in the same class of car, try again.

Makes perfect sense best criteria to evaluate 60k + performance cars is their sound. Very SOUND advice. Oh yeah you betcha ya

Are you mentally challenged? Mustang and vette are not in the same class

That really is just your opinion. Another person ready to spend 60K+ might think otherwise. Your opinion is only definitive to you.

Nope just common sense, it take 80hp easy just too drive the blower, Ford shouldve gone turbo like the Z06 or ZR1 will
The GT500 will not be 760RW

I agree the gt500 should have been twin turbo. They missed out on labeling it an ecoboost. Don't get that one.

I would argue that based on pricing they are a lot closer than they used to be. Times have changed and while you don't consider them competitors, I am sure plenty of people do. Just food for thought

In all fairness I have seen quite a few threads on horrible things that happen to that engine, just like there are plenty of good ones. End of the day it's a Ford engine. V8's all tend to sound good. Yes this one sounds better than the coyote or the Chevy small blocks and revs higher. However, Italian exotics sound immensely better than the gt350 motor and rev just as high or higher.

Point is who cares. The motor is one part of the equation. I'll give you the motor of the gt350 might be better than the lt2, but I'd still rather have a mid engine set up with the lower weight of the c8.

It's been Mustang vs camaro vs challenger.

Me buying a C5 has nothing to do with a voodoo engine. I bought the car for my daughter because that is what she wanted because her grandfather had one. It does not matter what the name of the motor is the performance is what it is. I am not impressed. I do not need everybody telling me how great it is I've driven many and am not impressed. If you love them buy one and shut up.

Really, a 70K 350R vs a 66K C8 Z51?

This whole thread is dumb. Your posts are down right retarded...

Put the two and a track, how does the C8 crush the GT350..? Even when they are not in the same class.
