Anyway, I fail to see how two differently modified cars has much to do with a discussion about the stock performance of either (which is what the original discussion was about).
Stock for stock, the GT was barely ahead of the Z06 and 500 hp Viper. It isn't really a contest against the newer ZR1 or ACR Viper.

You ever seen what happens when they line up? I had the chance to be in each car (F430, 360, Ford GT, Z06, Gallardo, CGT Flying Spur (teh slow) and bolt on Mas Gran Sport, the last of which is my fathers) during at least one pull each from anywhere from 30-60mph onward and every single time the GT pulled all the way through. Now, I can't say this will happen every time because it is close enough to be somewhat of a drivers race, but the owner of the z drove and the GT switched off for a few pulls and the results were still in favor of the GT. With equal drivers it's no contest, the gt is the faster car. Now when the zr1 comes into play, the GT pails in comparison. I got a nice solid view of who was pulling from the Maserati since we were so far out back LOL, but it's all in good fun. Can't expect to run with 130 trap cars in a 115 trap car. If only Ford had continued the GT so we could have some competition! Having said all this, the GT is a completely different animal than the zr1 or z06. I love me some z06 and I've never driven a zr1, but I have sat in one...the GT just feels like a far more "exotic" car.
