ZR1

Not only is it psychotically fast, but by all accounts, even Jeremy Clarkson, is a docile and livable GT.

Stock for stock I think I'd take the ZR1. If I could mod, I'd probably take the Ford GT, but rules are rules

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

I had to go for the Viper.

GT is the best looking, but it's slow. it get walked my a z06 much less a Zr1.

ZR1 Definately the most advanced and fastest in a straight line, but the polycarbonate window is too cheesy for me. Also, at 638 hp GM needs to come with much more agressive rubber.

ACR fastest around anything with corners. Least refined, but it I was looking for refinement I'd buy a mercedes.

I agree, it is the best looking. I love the GT. If I could turbo the GT my vote would totally change

The window is definitely a bit cheesy, unnecessarry, and probably adds quite a bit of production cost, but it's not thaaat bad IMO. You can change your own rubber so to speak, if you need something a bit stickier. The ZR1 puts up very stout numbers with its DD rubber. And finally, if I were going for refinement, a whole lot of things would come before a Merc.
