BF2S Forums Z06 video.

I like older sports cars, especially the A/C Cobra and GT40, not the newer cars with all the fancy bells and whistles and electronic management. There's something that seems barely tamed about older sports cars, kind of like they're always on the edge of losing control.

My favorite car of all time would have to be the Ferarri F40 and of course, every thread needs more 1964 904GTS:

i would love to see that Corvette go up against the 2000 Saleen S281!

Me too. It would smoke it.

The one deciding factor would be the road conditions.

The Corvette would stay planted, the Saleen would smoke some rubber once those hair dryers spool up, lol, even at 100 mph....

You're saying an Aston Martin can beat a Veyron, McLaren, or even a Vette?!?!  ROFL

No, but I'd take it over any of the other cars mentioned in this thread, whats the point of having a car that can go 200mph if it's as ugly as sin.

Anyway the speed limit over here is 70, go much over that and it won't matter if your driving a Veyron or a Mini.

I'm not sure if it's Aston Martin, might be TCR, but one of those companies has a car with a dozen cylanders... now that's a car worth getting!

That Saleen S281 is pumping 912rwhp the saleen wouldnt even have to try...

Could you post where you found those spec?  That's one heck of a Mustang and must be more heavily modified.  All the sites I looked at for a 2000 S281 rated it at half the numbers you posted.  Here's one:

http://www.maximum-cars.com/Cars/Car.php?carnumber=73

Year: 2000
Make: Saleen
Model: Mustang S-281
Base Price:  $28590 
¼ mile: 13.4 Seconds 
0 - 60 MPH:  4.8 Seconds
0 - 100 MPH:  11.9 Seconds
Position: Front Engine
Configuration: Supercharged V8
Valvetrain: SOHC 2 Valves / Cyl
Displacement: 281 CI / 4606 CC
Power: 365.0 BHP / 272.2 KW @ 5000 RPM
Torque: 400.00 FT LBS / 542 NM @ 3000 RPM
Redline: 6000

The supercharged S281 does 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and a quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds.
------------------------------------
Here's what the 06 Z06 can do. 

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/cou … vette_z06/

Engine  7.0 L/505 hp/470 lb-ft, OHV 3 valves/cyl V-8
Transmission 6-speed manual
Curb weight, F/R dist 3147 lb, 51/49%
Wheelbase  105.7 in
Length x Width x Height 175.6 x 75.9 x 49.0 in
0-60 mph 3.5 sec 
Quarter Mile  11.5 sec @ 127.1 mph 
Braking, 60-0 mph  104 ft
Lateral Acceleration 1.05 g avg
EPA City/Hwy Fuel Econ  19 / 28 mpg

So the Vette is already ahead by 1.2 sec in 1st gear.  And that's without a supercharger of any kind. 

I looked for solid numbers on the 06 Saleen and all they had was a guess of 4.3 on 0-60.  The 05 goes 4.5 on 0-60.  http://www.fast-autos.net/vehicles/Sale … 1_Extreme/  So far looks like another win for the Vette.  And that's the stock Z06.  The Lingenfelter would eat the Mustang for lunch.
