I love how you misinterpreted my question to refer to the past. As I said, both Ford & Chevy have always had a back and forth as far as the "faster" car, and that's gone on for years.
My comment did not say "When Ford MADE something faster than the Corvette, then maybe I'll be impressed.."
Yes, the GT was faster at one time...just like the Camaro was faster until the Shelby GT500 was faster. And, as I said...it is unlikely that Chevy will ever build something more powerful and faster than their flagship in the Camaro since they don't want to outdo their flagship product, the Corvette.
Even so, the Camaro ZL1 is faster (and better suited) to road courses without modifications, considering the brake fade that's been reported in so many tests in the Shelby after just one or two laps.
The Shelby has more power because there are no limits to the power since that is Fords flagship. We can go into the live axle and other problems with lack of technology in the Shelby as well if you want. You can put lipstick (power) on a pig, but it's still a pig. Until Ford does something with those things, they will still be second best in my book.
Again, when Ford makes something faster than the Corvette, I'll be impressed.
