What track are you running them on?
the AA Ford GT is a modern car - Carrera the 60s version
AA motors are rated to run at 12v - Carrera 18v
Carrera cars are heavier
detail level is comparable - AA may have slight edge

Wood.
I realize the cars are designed to run on different voltages.

I have put 12v motors into my Carrera cars - I have an AA Porsche and a Carrera Aston Martin DBR9 - for the AA car I put metal wheels on the rear with foam tyres (plafit) and I changed the guide to a parma type - the car runs quite well now.
The Aston feels heavy to drive compared to the Porsche. I haven't changed the tyres on it but will need to - they don't give great grip with out a magnet.
