I'm sure many of you have seen the new Automobile magazine... CIVIL WAR! hahaha, great title.
Anyways, they've got a sweet video on their site, just a quick run around a track in each of the cars. i won't spoil the ending....

I must be a genius, i guessed who would win before I watched it and i was right. I am surprised at how close that was though, less than a second apart. I thought the GT would take the other two to the cleaners.

Yeah, hard to beat the value of the Z06, but in the GT's defense, its not a volume production car with a gozillion hours of development time behind it. Course they need to give the GT about a 100 hp shot in the arm as production winds down so it can swat those pesky Z06's

i've heard the GT's engine can take considerably higher boost levels, so perhaps owners should swap out pulleys!

Ford GT barely edges out the Z06 at the track, but the overall winner is the Z06. I'd probably take the GT over the Z06 for a collectors car, but for driving, definetly the Z06.
