If you could have only one: Ford GT or Corvette ZR1

If I'm going to be a poser, I'd at least want to have an interesting car that people want to look at, even if I knew nothing about it.

Hey! I don't own a Vette jacket or anything else. Mine is my work car...delivering 24mpg during the entire 2008 year. The only mid-life crises I have that's associated with the Vette is figuring out how to get out of the sumb!tch when I really got to go bad.

That being said (and as I said earlier), it and the GT are both Hot Wheels cars IMO.

Sal-

I think the ZR1 is more than a run of the mill 'Vette!

Turk didn't give you the cool Corvette jacket?

I distinctly remember seeing it when we drove your car. It was black leather, with C5 embroidered on the back in red with a Corvette in the "C", really nice, looked like it was at least a $700 item.

He said it came with the car.

X2. On the way to work this morning I thoroughly enjoyed the freeway off ramp at 60+ that was labeled at 30. I think the driver of the car at the bottom (that I approached rather abruptly before the stock brakes stopped her with plenty of room to spare) shiaat in his pants.

Say what you will about 'Vettes. They make awesome daily drivers. Still would rather have a FGT, but I'm blessed with driving my 7 year old Chevy.
