Hell This happened last time before Ford upgraded the GT500 with an extra 10 ponies.

Actually, the GT500 did win that particular comparison, regardless of your denial.
"After the dust had settled, the Ford Shelby GT500 came out as the winner."
BTW, the numbers above are apparently from previous year GT500s? Car and Driver ran the 2011 GT500, and ran 12.4@117.... so much for the effin numbers

At the test track, we recorded 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, 0 to 100 in 9.1 seconds, and the standing quarter-mile in
12.4 seconds at 117 mph. Our last 2010 test car ran those sprints in 4.5, 9.6, and 12.7 seconds, respectively. The 70-to-0 braking took 151 feet, an improvement from 165. Grip came in at an impressive 1.00 g, with far less understeer than the last car’s 0.91-g effort. Those numbers are right up with a Corvette Grand Sport’s and better overall than the last BMW M3 we tested.
