The reason you compare the GT500 to the Vette is it is the top machine from each company. There is no "vette" in the Ford lineup. The GT500 IS their vette. This to me is the same as comparing the Mustang GT to the Vette. You are taking the lesser performance model in the company's lineup and comparing it to the flagship performance model of the other company.

Sure they serve different purposes in the sense on vette = coupe GT500 = 2+2. But that is Fords TOP model performance car. That is why I compare them. This whole tread is pointless anyway. For the money that is in the GT500 you could take practically any car on the road and make it faster after market. Nothing is truely ever comparable once you allow the "after market" argument to come in.
