I thought I was keeping my car for a while longer. It now has an expiration date.

I have to agree the Z06 and 500 are very different. The 500 to me is much more grand tourer and the Z06 is a track weapon. I always root for Team Corvette in ALMS and international endurance races. I was a fvcking hardcore Corvette guy for a long time but I would drive this over a Z06 because GM has disappointed me with the interior every year, and their culture makes me sick. It's really sad. My dad had a 67 GT500 with a 427 (along with a few vintage Vettes) when I was little, so I've always loved Shelbys. If the Z had a cleaner interior and Caravaggio seats my opinion would change.

If it gets over 55k I am out. So many things I'd rather have at that price point, and I could probably wait a bit longer and get something even cooler.

Boss > Shelby. NA all day and every day. The new stripe on the Boss is lame.

Very true. Both the Ultimate Aero and Koenigsegg are pumping out 1000+ bhp from their V8s.

They probably mean on "regular" production cars.

I believe a certain quota of units built/sold has to be met.
