Shelby GT500 vs Corvette Z06 vs Viper SRT10
A pretty good comparo on these three cars from MT. How MT placed ranked them would be exactly my buying preference.

The competition was quite lame. The zo6 is simply the best bang for the buck among the 3. I knew the answer to #1 even before reading the article.....

I don't entirely agree. With the Shelby being $28k less than the Z06, I think it is an equally good bang for your buck. Either way, both cars perform incredibly well for their respective prices.

The GT500 looks like a pickup truck compared to the other two in that pic. I'd gladly take any of the three.

I think I'd buy an '04 Cobra for $25k and put $10k into it and blow the doors off all 3 cars in the comparison.

~10 grand market addendum here in AZ. So I hear anyway; haven't confirmed... haven't been interested. Cool car, but I'd rather have a Corvette.

The Gt500's around here are going for 65 big ones. The Chevy dealers are selling z06's at msrp.
