I suppose that a new GT2 would be similar but I've never been in one. I will get to drive this ZR-1 and also a new Ferrari 599 this weekend, which I've heard is also an angry beast.

I think it was "top gear" that did a flying mile comparison test between the GT2 and the ZR1 'Vette...from a standing start, the GT2 won because of it's all wheel traction off the line. From a rolling start, the 'Vette was faster...but hell, either car is faster than I'd care to drive...
