Grubrunner Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Who won? The greatest bang-for-bucks vehicle available on the market today.... like I've said on these boards before. Enjoy. <iframe width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uDP7Pty8Qnw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z71_Denali Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Tegeler Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 yeah they could have picked a lot better cars for sure, but it was still cool to see lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motortrend did a similar drag race, ZR1 vs. Nissan GT-R vs. Ferrari 599 vs. Porsche GT2 <iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OZlGMX8G3B4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric@thompsonracing.us Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubrunner Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 You meant 11.8, correct? Maybe.... There's no way a Viper will run 10.8 off the dealer's lot bone stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric@thompsonracing.us Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 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. 10-second stock C6 Corvette Z06 on run flats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your comment about Godzilla and it's potential after the fact.... and they handle like they're on rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
