[QUOTE="PaulVincent, post: 2654234, member: 28166"] Well, if a magazine wants to use horsepower figures that support its thesis, why should it bother to use accurate horsepower figures that disprove its thesis? Besides, aren't we all being just a bit foolish even caring if the 2006 Z06 is a better track car than the 2005 Ford GT? After all, the GT was based on a forty year endurance race car and made larger and heavier to be more practical in the twenty-first century (than the LeMans race winning Ford GT of the sixties was). Really, the argument shouldn't be, "The Z06 is a better car as it has posted a quicker time at the "Ring" than could the GT." Rather it should be, "If the C6 Z06 doesn't dominate the 2005 Ford GT in every possible performance category - both on the track and the street, than how would it perform against a non-retro 21st century Ford two door sports car that had set the goal of besting the C6 Z06 as its target?" Right? [/QUOTE]
