It doesn't matter as people will compare anything they choose to compare because there are Ford guys and Chevy guys. Here is a link to a Chevy Guy and a Supercar Build. What should we compare it too?

Isn't the GT500 more like 3800 pounds? Also there is a LOT more to a comparison than simply weight. You are comparing a 2 seat dedicated sports car, to a 4 seat sports coupe.
