@slurpy911 the driver wasnt flooring it here AND its on salt flats. Believe me if he floored that son of a bitch the zr1 would top 205-206 in alot less than 3 miles on pavement
Anybody arguing fake statistics about cars they'll never own should shut the fuck up. Ford... Chevy... BUGATTI (learn how to spell it) or freakin' Henessy Viper (Chevy engine + Lotus body) it doesn't matter. Chances are good that you don't own one and know nothing about its real-world performance. All you know is the same shit everyone else has read and its likely that your memory (or the memory of the writer of the article you read) is FAIL. So if you know so much, post a video of you driving.
I realize this is dirt and slippery but it makes me respect the cars that do the standing mile at 250 plus even more, cause this car is an animal.....
might hit a higher speed if you had a smaller driver. this guys 200 pound ass definitely limits the cars abilities compared to a 130lb driver. i feel the difference in my car with a 150lb person in the passenger seat. i dont drive a ZR1..but im sure it matters when your going for 200mph.
@aintnopity weight matters in every aspect of performance which is why the bugatti needs so much HP to hit its top speed. if the bugatti weighed as much as the ZR1 it would be doing 280-290mph. i dont think we'll ever have a car doing 300mph since a 5mph wind would put you into a wall going that fast. atleast i think it would. a hayabusa might could
@250honda yeah it matters but not that much, it is just a small aspect, and even if the Bugatty would weigh half it would not be that much faster, because mass is inertia, so it only takes longer to reach high speed but the speed itself is not much higher
@250honda Yes, weight matters. As in, ballast in the right places on the car. At these speeds, aerodynamics are everything. You need a low amount of frontal area, and a low coefficient of drag. A Bugatti doesn't need a diet to hit 290mph, it needs at least 500-600 more hp. The Veyron is very aerodynamic. I'm sure the drag coefficient is among the lowest of all cars.
@LarryChipVT hell yeah, i live in fort lauderdale, i know all about that... i rented a base c6 from avis and went 190 at 12pm on i27 and was doing like 140 down i95 for like 5 miles...
@slurpy911 i wouldnt call that a fail u idiot . dont you see this is not street pavement!! are you fucken blind you son of a bitch!
i think this is good considering this is salt flats ... also wat u mean fail he could of have been going 190 from the beginning or middle. but just think about it this is not ordinary land u fucktard cmon
@shjesus dont be mad cuz ur piece of shit dream car sucks ballz. Corvettes are made out of plastic try pushing in the back end with a finger and watch the son of a bitch bend the whole body panel. Ur the idiot for liking a overpriced piece of plastic with a fast motor ya fat fuck. And chevy sucks ballz its not even in the competition. Its between dodge and ford ya cum guzzler
@slurpy911 actually a ZR1 is mostly carbon fiber you fucking idiot and all cars use plastic, it is LIGHTER therefor making the car faster, and how is it over priced roughly $120,000 for a supercar that can compete with just about everything yeah thats so overpriced, if you dont like Corvette, the TRUE, american sports car. then DO NOT watch a Corvette video you fuck, go watch something else there are other car videos on youtube incase you havent noticed
@shjesus shut up u fatass mcdonald eating american shit head u aint know shit. :) keep wishing that covettes are the best cuz it aint hapenning anytime soon.
@skater4life2360 Yeah, except the production of those cars was very limited, and they both cost around 5x a ZR1. Put 150 grand into aftermarket performance on a ZR1 (still less than half the price of either the Aero or the S7), and you will leave either car in your dust.
@slurpy911 It's 190mph straight into the 15mph winds on dirt rather then asphalt. For a Ford it's not surprising you're that stupid. The Ford GT maxed out at 195 by the way...the ZR1 does 206 and that's only because it's computer governed.
@TiKondaRoga and the ford gt also holds the world record for the texas mile BITCH! over 260 mph.... in 1 mile... i dont think a vette cud ever do that.
@slurpy911 omg, you made sense for once. It's actually a Heffner GT 1955WHP. Which is funny cause there are cars producing half the horse power that are just a couple seconds behind the GT.
@slurpy911 Your right...a production corvette could never do 260mph just like a ford cant either. but if you put 200 thousand dollars toward your top speed...its easy. just like that one henessy viper spinning tires at like 160mph
Looks like he was struggling to put the power down until 140mph or so. Took about 30 seconds just to hit 100mph. That alone is going to kill any top speed run with less than 3 miles to work with. I can't believe all the stupid comments on here. Youtubers never fail to disappoint!
@wdtiger they have to gradually reach high speed because in the salt flats you will just spin around if you blast a high power car with rear wheel drive
@americanman911 hey man i have been to the salt falts with my supercharged 01 camaro ss and with my buddy and his 07 zo6, i reved it to 3000 rpm, poped the clutch and left tire marks, that salt is hard as a fucking black top
no i didnt mean bs like a top speed thing stock on a c6 .yes i know thats true 190 i think or a little less and a z06 does alittle below 200 or barely 200 mph.
But what i meant is that BS on the street like whatever u said like I95 or whatever u said .
cus i know no one can actually go that fast on a street legal freeway or whatever .
there wud have to be no cars to get in ur way or something.
Nice video! It's going to be hard to hit 200 MPH with a bone stock ZR1 on a dry lake bed due to tire spin and higher rolling resistance. I think you'd have to run on pavement to see the max top end capability of the car. The ZR1 is a monster ... no doubt.
Huh?!? Poor fella. :-(
