I think it's pretty darn amazing what Ford has done with the 13 GT500. 662 hp is insane, especially for the price. No doubt it will likely defeat the ZL1 in the 1/4. But remember, the ZL1 is posting sub 12 second runs BONE stock and it has only been out a month. In addition, it is an all out track warrior and will be a much more comfortable DD. With PTM, magneto suspension and all the track coolers, the ZL1 is a much better all around GT car. Yes the GT500 will probably be a little faster in the 1/4, but the few 1/10's seconds faster is not worth giving up the looks, comfort, all around performance, and engineering marvel of the ZL1.
