Top speed of a Corvette ZR1: 205 mph, Made in 2010.
Top speed of a Ford GT40: 210 mph, made in 1964.
Sorry for the confusion, I was talking Camaros and Challengers/Chargers. I didn't intend to bring Vettes into the mix.
Also, last time I checked the Ford GT still had the record of 278.2 MPH on the Texas Mile, something that any Corvette or Camaro has yet to do.

So in your terms, and by your definition, if Ferd took a stockpile of rusty 1982 Ferd Escorts and replaced their 16 horsepower 1.75 cylinder rubber band snapping a hamster in the butt engines with surplus JATO rocket boosters, making their new
SUPERSCORTTM capable of 500 miles per hour in the measured mile.... they'd have the most awesome baddazzed sports car ever.
Gotcha.

Top speed ain't jack shat on a road course. From the factory, ZR1 devours Ford GT and any factory spec Mustang ever made on a race track. The only thing made by the Big 3 with the sack enough to run with the Vette on a
real race track is the Viper ACR, and even then that thing can't be bought or really even driven on the street.
Look, I'm all about what Mr. Ford did in the '60's, putting the pimp hand up side old Enzo's head on his home turf. But you're letting your craziness make you look silly.
edit: oh, and

at you quoting the top end speed of a full blown race car from the '60's in a comparison of street cars from the present.
