[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 2588544, member: 19833"] I though this had been clarified and agreed upon. There will be no "destroying" when comparing the Ford GT and the Z06. One will win some categories, the other will win the remaining categories. Neither will "destroy" the other in any of the categories. So far (the key here) these appear to be two competetive cars in terms of performance. The major difference is that the GT is more exotic and unique, while the Z06 is MUCH cheaper and more economical (no gas guzzler tax). The Z06 is the best combination of performance, cost and likely reliability (based on 24hrs of lemans and past generation). It is a car you will see out on the road often and a car many can afford. However, the GT is one of the most unique American supercars ever made and thus a car you are more likley to see sitting in someone's personal collection. If they performed identical, not saying they do (just a hypothetical here), and I had the money, I would take the GT over the Z anyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Why? Because it is more rare and one amazing looking car! But back on Earth, maybe one day I will be able to buy a Z and have that kind of perfomance; I'm not sure I will ever be able to buy a GT. I think that captures the essence of the Z. It is a supercar competitor that many people will be able to own, not just a picture in a magazine that many people will talk about and only a lucky few will get to own. [/QUOTE]
