ZR1 or Ford GT40

If you had the chance to get either one of these two cars which one would you take.. assuming "Both Are Brand New" or on the Ford less than 200 miles...

gt40 all the way.. the old one or the new one! Hat to say it, but honestly the gt40 just looks so much better. 99% of the world sees a zr1 as just another corvette.

I don't buy my vehicles for 99% of the population, but for myself. ZR1 all the way.

Granted the GT40 is more unique, but better looking no way.

GT40, no question. Exclusivity. A ZR1 can be purchased any day of the week.

ZR1 totally: The Ford GT is a collector. granted a very nice car but undrivable for street use compared to the ZR1.

It doesn't matter that the ZR1 is far more practical supercar. The GT is so much more unique.

This whole poll is disqualified, there hasn't been a Ford GT 40 produced in decades, Ford sold the rights to the name GT40 and would not pay what the current rights holders of the name wanted for it, so they named their supercar Ford GT. Just some trivia for those that did not know.
What would I take?
Well, I missed a nice Ford GT by about 4 hours, so I said screw it and bought a Lingenfelter upgraded ZR1.
So I guess my answer is Ford GT...no, ZR1...no, both....
