ngnear Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Ok guys...don't flame me too bad but I had to do it. I had to take a trip down the "Dark Side" :o A friend of mine let me drive his 2008 Z06 (505 hp) yesterday and all I can say is that this is one fast car with great acceleration. It made me want the SC even more. I would like to hear from those who have the SC on their SGT (or even those with a GT500). How does your SGT/SC compare in acceleration and power to the Z06? Can I expect similar feelings with an SC? I know that HP is HP...but that feeling of being pressed into the seat as you accelerate was incredable. I have always been a diehard Ford guy that bleeds Ford blue. But I need more power from my SGT. Do you think that I will happy with a SC on my car? Any constructive information would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig-It Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I won't get into the "apples versus oranges" debate of a Z06 and a SGT/SC, but if you love your SGT and you want that extra thrust that sets you back into the seat cushion, a supercharger is the way to go. Though you probably won't feel it as much as in the Corvette, you'll be happy. I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azmartin Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Have you added any items, such as 4:11 gears, intake, programming, cams, etc..? I have a freind with a 2010 also, I do like the outside looks. Inside I think is cheap, and how do they see out of that boat? Lots of power, but heavy. The rear sways all over when you are driving. I have a few things done to my SGT, I don't think it feels any different, power wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have 495 RWHP with my Whipple 550 and it is more power than you need on the street for sure. I have not driven the new Z06, but I would imagine it is similar, less Power but also less weight. I debated the Vette, could not do it. At the end of the day I like to be original. The Vette IMO looks wise is not even close to the Shelby GT. I would say if you are going Vette the LS3 is a better bang for the buck than the Z06. I would not buy either, I would go Porsche 911 for my next Toy, still have to pay this one off first because I do not plan to sell it, wifes rule is can not get another toy until the other is paid off.

SHELBYBRO Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I am sure that a 500 RWHP SGT can eat up a Z06. Yes it has to do with weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I am sure that a 500 RWHP SGT can eat up a Z06. Yes it has to do with weight. I don't know that you'll "eat up" a Z06. I do know that mine will take my friends 06 LS3 with the Z51 pkg, headers, CAI cams and exhaust making 430 RWHP. No disrespect to the Vette. They are nice cars. It's apples to oranges. SGT is muscle car, Vette is sports car. I consider the SGT/SC "meat and potatoes" as opposed to the space shuttle with the HUD and different driving modes all computer controlled. I like the cue-ball hurst shifter in hand and the no-nonsense gauges and the growl of my 281ci +/-500rwhp sweety! Just my .02. If you are on the fence, you will NOT be sorry if you SC this car! Like I told Roger at SAI after my 1st test drive, "HOLY S*&T!!!!! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngnear Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks guys...I just need to find someone around here that has the SC. You do not see too many SGT's in Omaha, NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbstang Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I have the edlebrock E-Force Supercharger, I do not know how I was able to wait so long without it! The SGT was fast but man when I was accelerating through a light a few days after the install, I decided to nail it doing about 35mph, well lets just say when the wheels broke loose and I did the ole sideways dance, yeah the word came from my lips too "Holy $%it" Then there was the Dude with a skyline GTR who ran me down the freeway, his words "Man your car is so much faster than mine" Yeah, love the power, love the compliments! GO Fer it! unless yer skeeered!! GNB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hey you want a hard G pull try the jeep with the 6.1 hemi in it!!! I got to drive one off the start all wheel drive on the truck took off so hard all traction that if my seatbelt wasn't on. I would have flown out the back window you'll want that one too, I did but then you look at your mustang and say F that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSBYT Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I have always been a diehard Ford guy that bleeds Ford blue. People who bleed Ford Blue for one do NOT sit in Z06's much less drive them! And secondly, they don't even consider these kinds of thoughts! I'm kidding! Resist the temptation to compare Obama Motors to FORD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
