Edit: maybe "crush" is a little harsh. We are only talking about a couple seconds on a 7ish minute lap...lol.
lol but seconds is still alot. Both are great cars, looks wise, sound wise, id go ACR hands down

Agree, ACR is badass

Now I could not afford a ZR1 or a new Z06 when I was looking to buy a new car, I did look at the Grand Sport and the GT500, I chose a GT500 I come from the GM camp though and have always had SBC powered 2nd gen 1970-1972 Z28's, those are the cars I grew up on.

The new GT500 is like an old muscle car in many ways just put on Van Halen II and light up the rear tires .

Down the road I will have a Z06 I no longer just shop one brand I like many different cars and a ZR1 would be an awesome machine to own, sans the fact to plate that car here in Jefferson county Colorado would cost with taxes around 13K.

We should all be grateful we live in an era with 600 plus HP showroom cars whether they be GM, Ford or Dodge.
Couldnt have said it better myself man, its a great time to be a Gearhead!
