Its a different feeling in those cars. My friend has a 71 Pantera (currently well over 500whp) and when I rode in it, we did 130 drama free, it felt like 80 in my mustang. The thing was unflappable.

Yea Ford GT for me. Probably just because I think I'm gonna be more impressed by seein' a ford GT on the road than I am if I see a vette. They're a common sighting compared to the GT.

No doubt. Those guys were eating chips and just casually "chatting" at 150. I would have been stone-cold and white-knuckled.

I think that's why I found this vid so surreal. I mean, on top of the fact that they were doing 140+mph thru heavy traffic[:@]

Good Lord, that was crazy. I think that was from one of those Gumball, cross country races. There always seems to be some really rich Europeans that come here for that and they bring their crazy fast supercars. The cars usually have the stickers on them for those races, and it looked like the Z06 had one on it's hood. this is what I'm talking about, or something similar

Id DEFINETY take the GT over the Z06. The Z06 might be as fast, but the GT looks better, and plus, its a FORD.

I owuld take the Vette. I couldnt stand to garage queen her and thats what the GT is compared to the Z06. It has almost NO ground clearance. have you seen one in person? I do think its awesome appearance wise though, no argument there at all.

RE: The Big Chase
I was doing 130 on a empty bridge today.. wanted to see how powerful my car really was 
... and it felt like i wasb arely doing 100... but most people would rather the GT because of the "it" factor... Like I said in other posts.. 2 parking lots, 1 with a z06, other with a GT.. most people will go look at the GT, because to most people the vette looks like every other vette they see...
