But, these types of cars are NOT meant to duke it out at redlights. They don't really care about that ****. These cars are like the Lambo or Ferrari of the American car group. Although they don't do anything as good as the European counter-parts. But, like it or not, its the American way: "Excess, even when it doesn't make much sense." It should become our new country slogan.

It won't really be a contest for the ZR1. It'll still have less power, and weigh 500lbs more. And it will have more power than the Z06, but weight almost 800lbs more. So it might be close, but I still give the edge to the Z06.

This car is Ford's way of saying..."because we can". They are the top right now and whats wrong with some good old bragging? Is 800HP too much? Could be, Is it bad ***? Definitively. Would I like to own one? Who wouldnt!

This car is actually a tuner package from Shelby, not from Ford.

That's true. Of course, without the Ford car it uses, there would be no Super Snake at this time. Gotta love the engine that withstands this abuse and is still daily capable. I'd never drive one daily myself, but the manners are unreal, especially for the Code Red.

Good to see some companies still care about pushing the performance bar.
