LOL@the Ford GT, please. It's a 6 figure POS. It's less of a car than the current Z06 is just about every fashion.

The fact is the ZR1 has catapulted the 'vette into the supercar category. You can say "oh it only goes 7 mph more" but it's not just about top speed. The car has more technology, more body enhancements, RIDICULOUS brakes. But I guess since it only goes 7mph more it's some kind of ripoff

It may be a poor man's Porsche as you say but it smokes it 6 ways from Sunday for a lot less. To hell with "status", if you're serious about performance(which it doesn't seem you are) then you're not going to find a better bang for the buck with the C6, Z06, and now the Zr1(if you're looking for a supercar). The American car companies never had a NEED to build a 200mph car but let's face it, what American competition is there for the Corvette? The Viper is comparable to the Z06 but that's about it. GM decided to go Euro hunting on a high level, hence the ZR1. You can focus on the top speed but that just shows you lack of information, the ZR1 is more of a car than the already bad ass Z06..but then again I'm just some biased, pompous 'vette guy
