RE: who would win

I think the Ford GT is in another class. Not performance class but luxary/exotic class. The Ford GT is a great car but I would not buy one just becasue its rare and exotic. I want the whole package. Comfort, Gas milage, ridiculously fast, and price. So going by those specifications. I ended up buying a Z06. It has nothing to do with the GT.
As for a side note, there is one person here that I think is a fanboy. No need for names because you already know who.

Price is not it. When I look at the Ford GT I look at a piece of performance art. When I look at a Z06, I see a Corvette with a more powerful engine. Don't get me wrong, the Corvette and the Z06 are great cars and the performace for the money is unbeatable. My brother's C6 has outrun some Porsche's on the highway. That doesn't make it a finer vehicle, just like the Z06's almost equal performance numbers don't make it a finer vehicle that the GT.
I posted 4 or 5 car that the Z06 outperforms: Ferrari's, Porsches, and a Lambo. I see those cars as a different class than the Z06. They are not just cars, but exotic vehicles. I don't see the Z06 in that way. What can I say? You guys are quick to call people Ford fanboys here, but many of you GM guys are just as stubborn
BTW, I found the video of that Ford GT. Nothing exciting, but here it is: http://www.senescenceusa.com/Ford%20GT%20Final.wmv

the GT ate the Z06 on a road course, 2 plus seconds in a lap

I can only beleive that the 07 Z06 is better. Probably pretty close.

I thought the Z06 got a better time on the Nurburgring than the GT. I guess I could be wrong, though.

EDIT: Insert 'S218E' in place of 'GT500', then you have a race.

They are almost identical in price; both sticker at 65k. Some magazine stuff will be out soon, but the new S281E will run mid 11 1/4's. (just like the Vette) Probably a driver's race.
