FIND OUT WHO WINDS, ZO6 OR GT500KR: We’re looking at the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR and 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, but we’re imagining a ‘68 Shelby GT500KR staging next to a Corvette with one of the 427-cubic-inch V8s on the Connecting Highway in Queens, New York, probably sometime during the Nixon administration. We don’t know how the cars are tuned or which driver has the better hole-shot technique, but we’re calling our street race in favor of the Vette. You see, there’s ……
