You just went from a 50 - 100 k purchase to a 350k purchase. Most guys with that amount of money don't cross shop, they just buy.

Yeah, weight really is the factor here. A ZR1 would walk the Cobra.

I can't believe that the ZR1 and the GT500 are being compare again. Two different animals with different price tags. The ZR1 will win on the strip or the track.

You know what would be fun?? And no, I'm not trying start a war, I'm just saying it would create another great rivalry...

It would be fun if Ford dusted-off the old Ford GT tooling, and plopped the new 5.8 into it, say with improved intake and free-er flowing exhaust tuned to 700hp even..

Now THEN you'd have a comparison between two REAL sports cars, and maybe Chevy would step up the power a bit on the ZR to do battle...

That would be neat, but as a Ford fan, I'm happy letting GMs ZR1 fight the European supercars.

I couldn't ever afford one anyways, so I'm not really too worried that Ford doesn't make a competitor.

So, go ZR1 (and soon again) SRT Viper

that'll be fun, no doubt, go tag team the GT-R and come back smiling

Significant weight difference between the two cars.
Don't forget that at these speeds drag coefficients, frontal areas, and net down force of each car also start coming into play giving the ZR1 an even bigger advantage.
