the zr1 is in a league of its own and is going to cost upwards of 100k after all is said and done. the current c6 Z06 has MORE hp and is lighter then the new GTR. those two cars are in direct competition...not the zr1. theres more than enough proof both thru NUMEROUS reviews and track tests that the GTR will have no problem handing the z06 its ass on the track...maybe not the drag strip, but at an actual road course.
the new GTR is a full 2 seconds faster than the c6z at the ring and thats the benchmark for a production car, and dont give me the bullshit that it wasnt running stock tires or was running some better tune or had the boost cranked up. thats an official number that has yet to be proven otherwise. i give credit where credit is due and the c6z is a fucking monster with enormous potential but hell, both cars are MORE than capable of producing great numbers and the fact of the matter is NONE OF US will ever have the chance to drive one to their full potential
end rant
oh and lets not forget that the new viper is quicker around a track than the c6z....surprised no one pissed a fit about that
How is the new ZR1 in a league of its own? Because no one can build anything for that price than can compete with it? Its funny we talk about the ZR1 but are there any 1/4 mile, track, or top speed stats out for it yet? We all just assume its going to out perform the current Z06.
Two seconds, I think that could easily be made up with a better Z06 driver or better weather conditions. Where are the other track tests besides the ring lap time? Because I haven't heard of any yet.
