Interesting review, the ZL1 he seemed like he was bored to drive but couldn't get the smile off his face in the GT500. The ZL1 did beat the GT500 on that short course/auto cross track, that thing was hardly a road course.

Instead of arguing who's best, we should all be wanting one of each. These are some badass rides!

Exactly. I just can't get past the idea of spending $60,000 for a Ford. To be fair I wouldn't drop $60,000 on a current Buick, Toyota, Honda, Chrysler, Kia or Hyundai either. There's just so much more that I expect from a $60,000 car. Ford's fantastic engine just isn't enough to justify the price of the whole package (for me personally).

Chevy could have used forged internals, larger heat exchanger with shorter pulley and produced 630-640 HP. They chose not to, as Ford chose not to put in a correctly and sturdily designed watts link and an X brace(as with the Boss option) to further stabilize cornering and the effects of the fixed axel. For the price of what you are paying for these cars can you blame them? Buy a car with performance like this anywhere else in the world and you are talking $80k-150k or more.

Don't get me wrong, I think both are cars are awesome!
I was just adding to the debate, I prefer Chevy but I like Fords too (can u say Velociraptor!) and anyone that does't give respect to both isn't worth responding too.

I love them both.
I really like how well rounded the ZL1 is. It does everything well. For me personally handling and day to day driveability is more important than superior brute force. I base this off of all the reviews of course as I haven't driven anything other than the new V6 Mustangs and Camaros. That being said, I wouldn't entertain the idea of buying a GT500. It's just not my brand, honestly

Wow! Brand loyalty to the point where you would not want the other car in addition? I'd take both if I could!!!
