Video: World's Greatest Drag Race!

they would pick a Z06 over a ZR1 for a "bang for the buck" drag race, especially since they have a couple quarter million dollar cars racing... there's no way Motortrend could let an American car win... especially a GM

 

they could at least have put a gallardo in there somewhere

Wow, think about the company that GM and Ford kept up with, at $0.30/ to the $1 sales price! Wonder what the ZR-1 does the 1/4 mile in, and at what speed?:patriot:

 

Motortrend did a similar drag race, ZR1 vs. Nissan GT-R vs. Ferrari 599 vs. Porsche GT2

Those are such BS comparisons, depends on who pays the most in advertising. Z06 def. puts better times than that, and yes, where's the ZR1?

 

What year was this? I know of multiple Vipers running 10.8s off the dealer lots. Car and Track and Motor Trend are completely biased.

 

Fun video though!

No, 10.80. You're thinking the old Gen III Vipers (505hp) running 11.80. Stock GenIV (600hp) will run 10s with a good driver. ZR1 shouldn't be far off. Both of which, stock, are faster than the Nissan. Nissan has a ton of aftermarket potential.

 

 

Look up two guys: Ranger and Jamie Furman. They used to be down at MIR all the time.

Okay, gotcha.

 

I agree with your comment about Godzilla and it's potential after the fact.... and they handle like they're on rails.
