The issue of "just another Vette" is due to the shear numbers. The ZR1 and Z06 look amazingly similar to the generic Corvettes, of which there are tens of thousands. The Ford GT, while technologically inferior, has the 'gotcha' factor, and is quite rare due to the limited (and later halted) production. I love Corvettes, but next to the 427 Cobra, the Ford GT MKII is my favorite all-time car. Also to consider is the ZR1 (and Z06) will depreciate severely in the near future, but the Ford GT will probably not.
All costs and depreciation considered, I would pick a well constructed GT40 MKII Replica with an aluminum 427 FE over both of the above.
