No doubt the ZR1 is the faster and better car for many things, but I would take the Ford GT in a heartbeat. And I do like Corvettes so it isn't a Ford/Chevy thing with me.

JWD,

The only fair way to do this would be to post the same poll on a Corvette forum and combine the results. To do it only on a Ford based forum is ridiculous.

Jim

And to post a similar poll on a Corvette Forum wouldn't be as ridiculous. Why not post them on a MOPAR Forum and see who wins?

Ron

Well I posted a poll on a SRT/10 forum I belong to, so we will see what the MOPAR guys have to say.

It's also in the Offensive Forum. If you are easily offended, you may not want to go there. We get to really speak our minds there.

I don't think you would need a pulley on the FGT not to get "smoked" by the ZR1. Stock, ZR1 may be slightly faster although 1/4 times are comparable. A Heffner tune (allows the engine to run the way it was meant to run) and an Ford Racing Exhaust puts you at about 600 hp without the pulley.

But then you tune the Vette and are ahead again. So you will have to call Whipple and get a bigger charger, then you do the same for the Vette, then you go back to Hef for the twin turbo kit, then you do the same with the Vette. Then my uncle beats up your uncle.

I would take the GT out of the two.

Jamo has thrown the best looking car made today in the mix. The dealers are also offering steep discounts on them. I could do with out his giant Italian watches though... my dainty wrists can't handle them.
