GT500 has improved brakes that still don't seem quite as good as the ZL1.
Now what we need is a same track/day comparison between ZL1 and GT500 to see what happens on the track. Repeat with different types of tracks. When this happens remember the price of the GT500 with performance pack and the GG tax is moot.
Clearly the GT500 wins on the drag strip in most cases. What will happen at the road course and on the street (not drag racing, comfort and driveability) is not as black and white.
Both great cars, neither is perfect. Both will appeal to people differently. No clear winner will be crowned. And you don't have to buy either - many other options out there including the SLP cars.
I'd bet no matter what GM will respond in some degree with the ZL1 after 2013 and if that happens Ford may decide to do the same.

One can always make a call to Hennessey and ask for the HENNESSEY TWIN TURBO HPE 1000 , then what ?
