How does a stock FGT stack up against the new Corvette ZR1 in performance?

Will a stock ZR1 smoke a stock FGT or is performance comparable?

The ZR1 did 205 stock when tested by Chevrolet....with enough room top speed is estimated at 215. It is an amazingly fast car.

I own one as well as a FGT it would be hard for me th choose which is faster. Let's just say they both are awsome supecars. :cheers

I've been meaning to ask you how much real estate you needed to hit 200MPH? Also, how was the braking from that speed? I wonder how many 200 mph runs would a set of pads have in them?

2 miles from a dead stop to hit 200 on GPS. i stayed in it for another mile after that but there was nothing left. a whipplecharged GT can hit 200 in 1 mile. the Texas mile has a 1/2 mile shutdown area......
