Give me a mint 1967 427 stingray convertible over the ZR1 any day of the week.
I would take a Ford GT over a ZR1, but I would also have to bump the boost to get more than the 500 hp it comes from the factory with. The ZR1 at about 100 grand though is a deal and it is a monster straight off the showroom floor. I went to the auto show here in San Diego a month ago or so, and the ZR1 was the most impressive car there IMO.

I agree with you on the classic Vettes. My father owned a 69 with a 427, and I wish I had that car in my garage today.
