Your pick: Ford GT, Viper SRT-10 ACR, ZR1

Year's_End · 01-19-2011, 09:52 PM

So I'm subscribed to DuPont on FB (not a big fan of the mag but the page poses interesting questions) and one of their questions was "Take your pick: Dodge Viper ACR vs. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vs. Ford GT".

Seriously, is this even a question? Ford GT all day everyday. Fuck the ACR, I'm not near a track and I'd like to drive the car on the street as well. The ZR1 is mighty fine, but there's no way around its base C6 relevance. The GT is a stand out, mid-engined beast of an exotic. Even if it sacrifices a trivial amount of performance, there's no way I'd pass it up for the other two.

Some people call it outdated; if by "outdated" they mean "classic as fuck", then yeah, I agree.

Not a fair photo but I had to throw it in.

hard to pick between the ZR1 and the Ford GT, but ZR1 for me! I guess it would be a good problem to have!

EpicE90 · 01-19-2011, 10:48 PM

Ford GT. Fewest made,will hold its value, and most unique. Ive driven one and there is NOTHING like it. The sound, feel, and absolute mayhem that car makes when you punch it is insane!

DisGuy · 01-19-2011, 10:51 PM

havent driven either cars but id pick the ZR1.

ben14142001 · 01-19-2011, 10:57 PM

GT, I've loved that car since it came out.

TheAcAvenger · 01-19-2011, 11:09 PM

Seeing as no one above 6' can fit in a ford gt, i'll take the vette

TK-421 · 01-20-2011, 12:26 AM

GT

Also, is there any possible way to order a ZR-1 without that homo hood? That "engine display" is one of the dumbest things I've seen on any modern production car.

If you want to cough up the cash for a Z06 carbon you can have ZR1 looks (and suspension/brakes) without the LS9. It looks so much better with the same bulged out hood sans the gimmicky plastic window.

Nutballa · 01-20-2011, 01:25 AM

ZR1

There was one of those at the Tampa auto show a little while back. I molested the carbon brakes.

GT is arguably one of the all time best looking cars ever made plus very few made where as ZR1 is a hairy chested beast under the same old run of the mill skin

Bcube · 01-20-2011, 10:32 AM

Viper SRT-10 ACR

The other two are too civilized to terrorize the neighborhood. The GT is too pretty, would live a pampered life, and only driven to car shows. The ZRI makes a great DD and grocery getter - a Z06 with the carbon package, in my eyes, would be more interesting to own.

RedBarron · 01-20-2011, 10:41 AM

Ford GT Hands down!

JoosyJoos · 01-20-2011, 10:52 AM

I'd take the Viper. Been a fan ever since I was like 10 years old. It'll be interesting to see what the next Viper ends up looking like.

immiketoo · 01-20-2011, 11:49 AM

Ford GT in Gulf racing livery please...

Boost Gomez · 01-20-2011, 12:56 PM

Went with the ZR1 but the Ford GT is one of my favorite cars. By the way, the GT is not much more "streetable" than the ACR.

HPFREAK · 01-20-2011, 01:27 PM

Well if you buy the GT you cant park it in any parking lot next any cars or hope that no one parks next to you. You will never get in the car. You can also not see out the back of the car at all. I had a ride in one a few years ago. Loved it, but it is a special occasion car at most. It is less practical than the ACR by far. I would take the ZR1 no questions asked above the others. I love the GT, but it is about as practical of a daily car as 40DD are on midget.

The ZR1 rides nice and gets way better gas mileage than the other two. It is also faster stock and can be upgraded to well over 700hp just as easy as the GT can be.

However if you have the money to buy the GT then you likely have the money to get one or both of the other two, so that is what I would do. The ZR1 for daily use, and the GT for the fun runs, and head turning outings.

majin ssj eric · 01-20-2011, 01:34 PM

This one's easy. Ford GT all the way. Is it the best or fastest of the three? Probably not. But it is the one I would most enjoy walking out to the parking lot to get in every day after work....

Ford GT > ACR > ZR1
