Corvette ZR1

[barthoedemaker]

How come the handling is so fucking shit? 

[enjoi543]

at 0:21 i thought the zr1 was toast

[randomdude5640]

GM said they were gonna overhaul the interior if I remember correct for the C7. Either way I wouldn't mind paying an extra 1 grand for a better looking one.

[evxdaddy]

Jealous.... :(

[p10ghost]

The interior isnt that bad, everyone just goes off of what they hear. The interior is exactly what it should be for what it is. It is a $100,000 Chevy super car, you aren't going to get a car with huge brakes shared with an Enzo, 638hp, 20mpg highway, and still get an interior made of gold for just $100,000. Just because top gear said it's shit doesn't mean you should believe everything. Make your own opinions.

[rabihz24]

@p10ghost WELL SAID...

[TheAwesumfulOne]

the exhaust note is enough to move mountains!

[SageRader2525]

The sound of a corvette at a range is so beautiful. If there was a camera that stood 1/4 of a mile behind a corvette zr1 following it. I would save that to my favorites or make it my homepage. Just because the corvette has such a deep Roar.

[Porscheman508]

this driver is a pussy he doesnt even rev it up all the way

[Kiraina]

@Porscheman508 I don't think not reving out a 640hp car that you payed 100,000 euros for, that is in limited availability in your country, with another life on board, qualifies you as a pussy.

[Porscheman508]

@Kiraina hes on a track thats where your supposed to have fun with your car

[tastychips1]

@Porscheman508 640 hp to the rear wheels going around corners obviously u don't know a thing about track racing a zr1 is good at handling but if he would floor it around that track it would pretty much drift or he would spin out and those tires are pricey too

[Porscheman508]

@tastychips1 if he can afford the car he can afford the tires trust me

[acharris2005]

flat out in a straight line the zr1 is a gtr killer though dude

[alucaard87]

Corvette ZR1 is the best sport car! Its performance is TOP and the price is only the half of the other sport cars with same performance. Well it's not luxurious as the Lambo or Ferarri but its not important in a super car which only purpose is to go realy fast.

[OtherSelf99]

ZR1 FTW!!!

[tgamirov]

Germans are the best car-makers in the world, yet they totally dig the thrill of ZR1.

[elchicoboy]

@tgamirov its because its one of the top of lines from America you idiot. If you don't like american cars, then its your decision don't try us to change our beliefs. I think corvette is the best v8 america has given birth to.

[FrostyCoug]

@elchicoboy Now read my comment again. If you are not an idiot, you should be able to see that you got it all wrong.

[Rawr454]

Wow, just hearing those butterfly valves open at 0:22 is a precursor to the beast that the Zr-1 is. It's a killer too, Ferrari's, Porsche's, Gt-R's, the whole lot!

[sw1000xg]

@Rawr454

Just remember that the GTR posted a faster time on this track so no it's not a GTR killer.

GTR = 1:30.95

ZR1 = 1:31.14

ZR1 is an amazing car but just not as good as America seems to point out!

[rmf09020]

on a windy road gtr has advantage over the zr1 only cause awd thats it, the gtr has nothing but awd other than that its nothing

[19thaman79]

@sw1000xg Bottom line is the GTR gets its ass kicked by the ZR1 hands down!!

[sw1000xg]

@19thaman79 Bottom line is the Noble M600 kicks the ZR1 ass hahahah!!!

[19thaman79]

@sw1000xg Bottom line is the Noble isn't a production car. Its imported in pieces and its up to the BUILDER to decide the powerplant that is used. FYI, NOBODY said anything about a KIT car!!!

[sw1000xg]

@19thaman79 Not a production car hahahaha pieces hahahahah you don't know a thing about cars hahahaha!!! got look it up...

[19thaman79]

@sw1000xg The Noble ISN'T a production car. Its imported to the U.S without a powertrane and needs to be hand assembled by the purchaser as well as a self supplied powertrane. You GOT look it up!!!

[mantas11101]

Dodge Viper ACR owns the ZR1 at the ring and would probably own it in this track also.

[cotneygray]

Eh. I wouldn't say it owns the ZR1 in the Ring. Jan Magnusson ran a 7:22.4 in a stock ZR1, but unfortunately that's remained unconfirmed. The Viper had the optional "Hard Core Package" as well as suspension and aerodynamic adjustments. It's tires are practically slicks too. Should just give them both to The Stig in completely stock condition and see what time he posts.

[StuRaz]

@cotneygray

It's not even unofficial. Jan Magnussen even denied that it ever happened.

[Sherwin930]

well the viper acr isn't stock lol =]

[mantas11101]

How is it not stock? If you buy ACR from straight from the dealer. You might as well say ZR1 is not stock also.

[erickiller214]

the ACR is a modded version of the Viper there for its not stock..the ZR1 is a factory car there for its stock..ACR=modded..ZR1=stock

[mantas11101]

Well if you look at it that way I guess z6 z06 is modded compared to regular c6..... you make no sense. If you buy it that way from the dealer it is not a modded car idiot. If you get pulled over for exhaust on acr you think you are going to get a ticket because it is modded? no! it came from the factory that way therefore it is not modded.

[ws6transam1971]

@mantas11101 lol the viper acr may have ran 7:22 but try to run the acr on the street and see how far you get, or how far you want to go. The c6r and c5r have dominated the viper.

the zr1 also ran a 7:22 time and doesnt need a fan boy wing on the back or a rock hard race suspension.

the acr is basically a racecar that you can drive to the track, but no way your going to drive that car for fun on the road.

the zr1 is a fast as fuck comfortable touring car.

[mantas11101]

ZR1 ran all day to get 7:26 at the ring so I do not know where u are coming up with 7:22. People do drive ACR on the street not everyone is a panzi. If your talking about comfortable then might as well get automatic c6 I bet they ride even more comforatable then ZR1. Both the ACR and ZR1 are built to be on the track but ACR does it better. Love both cars but give credit where it is due.

[rmf09020]

acr has one thing that gives it a advantage is a wing that generates 1000 pounds of downforce at 150 and the viper is lucky to hit 150 with wing so you take it off the the zr1 WILL kill the acr thats it

[mantas11101]

@rmf09020

Yea I guess the 1000 pound of downforce is constantly generated.... no at higher speeds it does come into play. The ring consist of more then high speed turns. With your ideas I guess the bigger the wing the better handling the car is then. Sorry to burst your bubble but the ACR handles well because of other reasons then just the wing.

[TVRnGTR]

i hate the shoddy interior plus in australia we have something caled the HSV Superclubsport that uses the same engine but could run rings around this car

[ph00ny1]

there isn't a single car in HSV aresenal that has achieved similar peformance level as the zr1. Also which model uses LS9?

[TVRnGTR]

@ph00ny1 there was a prototype that never made production which was a remake of the gtr which was going to have 540 kw

[ph00ny1]

so it really doesn't exist. What about my other question? Which car runs rings around the zr1?

Also shoddy interior compared to holdens? have you seen the inside of a monaro or commodore

[zedosix]

sure mate we believe you

[nicholaskangas]

a zr1 1 would smoke any gtr the hennesy zr1 dude come on

[toreto5000]

Does the ZR1 come with airbags?

If they removed those red bits it would be the ultimate supercar because of its price and power

[StuRaz]

...why?

[toreto5000]

no it's nothing I just want know that's all

[toreto5000]

I just want to know

[kieferngarten]

great car great power I love it

[71getitdone]

ZR1 is Badass !!!!!!!

[SChaconJr]

"The ZR1 is an incredible machine by any measure. There's simply no other vehicle in the world that does a better job of balancing performance, price and fuel economy." ...BTW, the racetrack isnt the only place where the ZR1 trumps its super-car competitors--it beats them at the gas pump, too! >>Summary: $103,300 affords you a 638 horsepower supercar that's at the top of the heap.

[DeScRuN]

You all say $100.000 but in Europe is 170.000€ (about $200.000) and I don't know in other places but GT-R costs less than 100.000€ in everywhere.

[DeScRuN]

P.S: I still love both of them they just have different better things

[SinistrChevy]

Maybe you should move to America

[ransisua]

what? I've seen it's 120,000€ in German

[badman1997]

more than 138,000€ in gremany

[ransisua]

ouch. I see. O well, at least it's still cheaper than GT2. CMIIW

[praetorian2150]

i love how the only piece of ammo vette haters have is the interior

[Corveette]

All of you haters just shut it. You're paying for the performance. If you want to upgrade your interior, pay $30,000 for full leather and buckets from Callaway Corvettes. If you're going to do it, do it right. Its a Vette. Nuff said.

[ClumzyThief666]

exactly, who cares about interior, thats why its called a sports car and not a luxury car... it is a very amazing car... i rented a base model vette and raced a sl 55 amg and beat it... both of us used paddle shifters... he even got a head start the one run and i still caught him

[ralph3nuis]

LOL WTF ? Does it even matter what I drive ? Not a 200 thousand euro car, that's for sure. If I'm ever able to spend that kind of money on a car, then I don't want to same interior as a 10 year old Chrysler Sebring.

[sarometal]

the interior is ok - not perfekt but ok.

if you drive such a car how it should be driven - you won´t have the time to look at the interior. ;)

[Airox2009]

The ZR1 is such a great car that the interior doesn`t even bother me.

[bessniak]

@ralph3nuis you cant find a better car with 110 000 $ with this performance 6.2 v8 supercharged ,topspeed ,acceleration and many many other things this is the best supercar for money value the interior isnt from the best one but anyway this is a sport car not luxury car ....cheers

[ralph3nuis]

Nice interior for a sports car, I really like the plastic. LMAO.

[jcobaltss2005]

prissy bitch

[ralph3nuis]

Truth hurts huh. If I'm paying anywhere near that ammount of money (the zr1 is about two to three times more expensive over here than it is in the US), I want a decent interior.

[stevechaconjr]

The ZR1 "does" have a decent interior! What's all the fuss about drama-queens?Be happy, this is a real sports car, that rips. Yet it has navigation, heated seats, a heads-up display...I mean what the hell. Little pansys. How sissy and unmanly. Grow some nuts!

[praetorian2150]

dont worry bout them. their like trapped rats

[jrs89]

It has a decent interior from a Malibu. It's not that it's literally crap. It's just that it's crap for a six figure priced super car. If I were to get a ZR1, I know for sure I would not spec it with the hideous red interior color. It's just a shame because the CTS-V interior looks great. GM is capable of a good interior. It doesn't have to be super fancy. It just shouldn't look "sporty" or "corvette". Keep it simple

Interior aside, it's a fantastic car. I would still buy one regardless.

[JCKCPA]

Buy a Japanese Car. And get an engine

that can't be rebuilt 40 50 or 60 years later because the "thing" will be in the graveyard of junk.

[enzostuk]

your an idiot,un-american,mud person. People who no nothing about how things work in the real world make me sick. If you even have a car im sure you do no work to it your self, you probly go to some ''shop'' to have them put the electric turbo in you sentra cuz you culdn't handle doing it your self.

[JHatch65]

And you drive what???? A piece of crap I'm sure!

[jrs89]

It doesn't matter what he drives. It's what he can afford. If we were designing the ZR1, we all would redesign the interior. You know the ZR1 deserves a classier interior and you know it.

[JHatch65]

You have a point for sure. But let me re-state mine. Nit-picking about such things on the best super-car value on the market is not fair. There is so much that GM has done right with this car. Whining that a $100,000 super-car doesn't have the interior of a $300.000 super car is ridiculous. Seriously, can you name another sports car anywhere that delivers as much performance and value as the ZR1? I would love a better interior - as many of us would - but at what cost?

[jrs89]

I'm not expecting 60k on an italian interior. Have you been inside the CTS-V? It's an excellent interior. It's almost has nice as an Aston DBS. You can get the CTS-V with recaro seats. For that, I would rather have one over a Z06 because it's more comfortable. GM is capable of putting a good interior in their car. The standard Corvette should have a nicer interior and the ZR1's interior would not cost significantly more. The ZR1 does not suck and I would still buy one regardless.

[jrs89]

ZR1 is an amazing car, but this guy has a point: there is no excuse for such an amazing car to have such a mediocre interior. Have you guys been inside of a CTS-V (same interior as the CTS)? That car is well rounded. It's interior is comparable to it's amazing power.

[DeScRuN]

That's why you can also take the GT-R for 90000€ (91000 with cobb tunning 570 HP)

[jrs89]

I'm not exactly a fan of the GTR's interior either. Have you ever seen the HVAC control panel below the multifunctional display on the console? There is no layers or depth to it. It's literally a flat plank with sparsely placed knobs. The ZR1 has a good center console design. It just needs to make itself look more classy. There are too many awkward swoops and dimensions. It also needs some Recarro seats. They should have had Cadillac's consultants do the design.

[JCKCPA]

Please buy Japanese.

Please go....... run to the souped up

junk.

[JCKCPA]

Get an Nissa Altima with a Supercharger.

Or a Sentra with a Twin Turbo.

Or some other 4 cylinder or 6 to break down... sooner.

Do you know anything about engines

Do you just read magazines? And watch

Top Gear or something.

Don't tell me. I already know.

Wake up .... go to an engine rebuild store

ask a tech about the makes.

[navs35]

see heres the thing,normally when smart people talk about cars,they go by stock,cause generally if you have enough money,you can make hondas shine. not saying youd want to,just that you can lol

[quikagc5]

Sehr Gut! Very nice.

[ransisua]

what did he say? I can't understand. lol

[kieferngarten]

he said he has more power than the ZO6, many thanks for the experience

[mickvk]

It's nice to see somebody DRIVE one!!

[Tofuman924]

beautiful car man
