The 1.2 trillion handed out so far is only equal to $4,000 per person, sorry.

In 10 years the average car person will look at the corvette and ask Z01 or Z06 what is that?
In 10 years the same people will look at the ford and say WOW, a Ford GT.
I have had a Gt for a month, I can put an Exhaust / Pulley / Tune on it and get 150 more HP. What do I need it for? Went 145 this weekend on a lonely stretch of road and hadn't hit 6th gear yet. I will not be driving the "Ring" so could care less. To be honest, it has almost as much usable power now that you can put to the ground with street tires. If you care, Stock it is as quiet at 70 as my wifes Subaru Tribeca and rides 10 times more comfortably than my Silverado Pickup. It took me years to be able to buy this car. I have owned 12 different cars in the last 3 years alone. Traded in a 2008 Shelby GT500 (great car except for the terrible wheel hop), a CAV GT40 kit and a 2007 Saturn Sky. This will be the last fun car I will need to buy "ALL IN, ALL DONE" I use the GT for comfort and fast and the Lone Star Cobra for the LOUD, Not real comfortable, and fast car.
Too each his own!!!!

First of all it is a ZR1, not a Z01. I love the Ford GT, but I disagree. The ZR1 is a monster, and with the new vehicle CAFE standards might be one of the last true American super cars. Nobody knows what the future holds, but I suspect the CAFE standards as well as the economic conditions will greatly effect the new performance cars that are built. Just my.02 |

My sentiments stem from the fact I am clearly not a Vette guy but do have a soft spot for the classics. I admit to being biased but I still think Tugboat is dead on.
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. |
