[REAL 1]

I wouldn't exactly say that a ZR1 would wipe the floor with a stock FGT based on the numbers posted above. Putting the slight performance edge a new ZR1 may have over the FGT aside (simply rectified by installing the Heffner Tune) it will never have the character or soul found in a Ford GT.

There will undoubtedly be cars that will come along that will exceed the performance of the Ford GT (now at least 3 years old) but few cars ever come along that set bench marks in design, perfermance, character, soul, stir the soul and clearly become automotive icons themselves and spring from world icons and automotive heros like the Ford GT. The Cobra is another example of an automotive icon. I don't consider the Corvette an automotive icon on the level of the FGT, GT40, Cobra and others. But hey thats just me.
