The FGT is a great (and will be a classic just because of it's limited production) but to live with one is a different matter. Parking: unless you can find a wide spot, or take two, you my find yourself on all fours getting out or in. Don't even think of going on a road trip (unless you Fedx you luggage) there isn't enough room in the trunk for two pair of golf (driving shoes). Yet it's a very comfortable long distances driver. And yes it's not a car for the shy.

The ZR-1 on the other hand address all the short comings of the FGT for real Grand Touring traveling. and yet it's still not for the shy ether, yet it does have a blend in factor (and that's not really a bad thing).

Both have about the same real world driving dynamics (more hp and grip) then you could ever use safely on public roads.

My third choice: Audi R8, not as fast, cause about the same excitement at a gas station, and it's got four wheel drive, more room for socks when traveling, but is slower or should I say less powerful then the other two.

I base all this on the fact that I have lived with all three: OK its a Z06, but I do have some seat time in the new ZR1.

What do I really want? A Cobra roadster, white, black guts. Its all about the basic Sports Car.

Mark.
