3:39 ....Alright, don't like Vettes anymore. I want something fast but I want it to be a car not a tupperware container. That is just sickening for a car over $2k let alone $100k. Unacceptable.
Won't find weak spots like that on a Stang. If I have to stick to slower but sure, I will. Junkvettes, sheesh!
@deanml116 its made lieght weight using lightest materials to go faster its not a fuckin regular everyday car. it meant to go fast and thats it not to be super tough if you know anything about cars you would know that.
@TheLS1GTO Yeah but I mean, they could of reinforced it a little. Older Corvettes weren't built like that. I can't believe GM would think it would be alright to build a car with cheap materials like that
Who here agrees Mustang should get rid of the V6 and only make the 5.0 but go in the direction the corvette has gone in with, light weight, and great handling. The 5.0 could keep up with the vette, the gt500 could keep up with the Z06, and the new Boss Mustang could keep up with the ZR1........just sayn...
@grove1104 Buddy I hate to break it to you, but there is no way the Boss would keep up with a ZR1... What you're talking about is changing the Mustang from a muscle car into a sports car. Which they would never do. Thats what the Ford GT is for.
I have yet to see a zr1 on the road. Ima get one real soon. Not a head turner like a Porsche viper or ferrari. But that's good. I park my zr1 next to a Porsche an someone might break in to the Porsche first. Lol.
dodge viper srt10 convertible roadster is better faster and stronger than this plastic because dodge viper srt10 is the greatest american supercar ever made with its 8.4 l v10 600 hp 560 flb of torque
One thing I dont get is the rear end in plastic....in a crash the car wouldn't stand a chance....and the driver....well...he / she can kiss his / her ass bye bye...... cant they do anything about it...not only it isn't safe...it looks shitty too....nevertheless...I get a boner everytime I see a ZR1.....
the u.s. Got big highways so of course we care about goin straight dummies but when this car started to outcorner shit the whole world started to cry like a bitch
i'm watching this video for the zr1 only when i hear GT-R ... what got do to with the car
btw all the video for zr1 its not even a test its showing off the GT-R eats zr1 alive in corners i'm not a hater but that video is just for showing off
american car test are so boring, let germans, englishmen or japanese dudes test american cars, they can test much better, and are more funny's and know more about racing, and make professional on circuit with professional driver comparisons. and ps. fuck the quarter mile, no one cares about it
@2008C6Vette i don't think they talk shit, when a japanese says a camaro sucks because it simply wont corner without under of oversteering,when jeremy says the ZR1 sucks because the tupperware interiour breaks off in a simple track race,or when a german says the gt40 sucks because it has an insanely bad mpg rate.they are al right.they do critical tests and judge all aspects of the car. Americans just say the car sounds great and it does the quater mile in half a second and stamp it as a supercar
@2008C6Vette autocar is the worst at that, I think. they had to go out of there way to get a gt2 to out run a zr1 in a drag race, even shifting the zr1 at like 5500rpm, and even then it was really close. either someone at autocar doesn't know how to shift a corvette or even drive the damned thing, or they were trying really, really hard to prove how superior their car is to a lowly american sports car.
Bottom line the SSC is built to be a diver's car. The Veyron was built for rich people to impress other rich people. I'm sure it they threw in 2 more cylinders and 4 more turbos and 3 more radiators that made the car 20 mph faster than the SSC, added a gold plated dash and seats made from endangered baby seal hide and charged 6 million bucks for the thing people like you'd still be defending the damned thing as superior to everything else on the road.
@GTPTaylor Best of the best you say? You're calling a plastic car made by rednecks the Best of THE Best? Yes its has a HUGE engine, sounds alright and goes quickly In a straight line, but I'm afraid to say that if this car was made by Europeans the Supercharged 6.2 would have 1000 Horsepower rather than 600, would be made out of proper materials like Aluminium Yes, that is the proper way to say it, and wouldn't handle as if it had wooden wheels. Sorry, but maybe next time. Let the hatred ensue
@SanctuaryShred Hm.... 6.2l made by Europeans would have 1000 hp?
Interesting...Bugatti Veyron = 8.0 QUAD turbocharged W16 = 1,001 hp?? SSC Aero Ultimate = 6.35l TWIN turbo V8 = 1,287 hp.Please....don't start a war you can't win :( !
.And yes the Europe exotics stands no chance against the ZR1.Hell..the only brand capable of giving the ZR1 a run for it's money is Porsche.Get an education about cars please.
@xabipp The SSC Ultimate Aero is also the ugliest car known to man kind. It "Was" the fastest car in the world for about five minutes until that same 8.0 QUAD turbocharged W16 that you just bashed, took the kane out of the cupboard and proceeded to whip your SSC's ass with the supersport. I however, do not hate american sports cars because they ARE relatively fun and one might even say value for what they cost. But don't go about saying your budget supercar is the best of the best... Its not.
@SanctuaryShred The Veyron didn't whip anything. It edged the SSC out by about 12 mph at a price difference of $1,340,000. (2,000,000 Veyron vs 650,000 SSC) so you are literally paying $111,667 per mph for that 12 mph difference...oh and alot of fancy electronic stuff and a really nice dash and seats. I guess 1.3 million dollars is worth it (uncomfortable pause) ...or something.
@Warblade118 Look... I'm going to put this so that anybody can understand: When you drive a Veyron Supersport you sleep with multiple supermodels every night. When you drive a SSC Ultimate Vulgar, you sleep with multiple blow up dolls at night..... If you are rich enough to even consider buying either of those cars $1.3 million is the small change you find lying under your couch. It makes no diff financially and all the diff quality wise. Go figure.
@SanctuaryShred I'm talking about performance vs cost you're talking about expensive prostitutes and blow up dolls. Anything you'd like to confess?
What are you trying to say, that just because there are people willing to spend an insane amount of money for a car that is slightly faster...what, we're supposed to be impressed? I'm talking about the cars not the people who buy them. And I don't give 2 shits that the Veyron has a better dash. Its not worth the 1.3 million dollar price difference!
@Warblade118 No, I am saying that anybody clever enough to have made themselves rich enough to be able to afford either of these cars is also going to be smart enough to appreciate the difference between a big plastic vulgar mobile and a hand crafted masterpiece that is also the faster beast. 1.3 million or no 1.3 million, the fact is its a much better car technically, physically and aesthetically.
@SanctuaryShred Again, what's important here is the CARS not the people buying them.
You keep giving the Veyron credit for how it looks. Appearance is subjective and therefore of only minor importance. (I think both car's are butt ugly btw.)
So the Veyron is just a better car. Okay, then why in a head to head comparison of performance dose the SSC trump the Veyron is just about every category less a 12 mph top speed difference?
I respect your opinion, but; 1.3 MILLION dollars, 16 CYLINDERS and FOUR turbos later, and ONLY 1000 HP?
That SUCKS, there people building 4,6, and 8 Cylinders with well over 1500 HP for 10% of that price, and for another 2% of that price you can add hand stitched leather and all that other shit.
If you really like SPORTS cars for what they are ( sport, racing) ..
Hand stitched leather isn't shit when you're going 180 MPH +
@Roger0416 I was talking about the price difference between the Veyron and the SSC. Its about 1.3million dollars difference. I just don't see 1.3 million dollars more car there, you know? I'm sure the seats and dash and everything is nicer than what the SSC has, but not 1.3 million dollars better.
The difference between many built 1000HP 4,6,8 clys or whatever and the Veyron is what those engines can do for a few seconds to minutes the Veyron can presumably do until it runs out of gas.
I Agree I agree, but come on, trust me you can build a VERY reliable 1000 HP car for about 100k... And do you really think the Veyron is never gonna have issues? Come 4 Turbos and 16 Cylinders sounds like a hell of problems to me. But anyways yes I agree with you, I dotn see the 1.3 MILL diff either
@Roger0416 I honestly don't know how durable the Veyron's engine is. It's 8L and 1000HP distributed over 16 cyls. I'd say, just like any car, alot depends on how it's driven and maintained. Most people who'd own a 2 million dollar car are going to take good car of it and probably never ever use all or even half of 1000HP so I'd imagine it wouldn't ever have any major issues. The same could be said for a 1000HP 8L V8 mill too. It just depends.
I do think 16clys and 4 turbos is a bit much though.
@pissedpookie Ouch. Knew there was a reason I'd never buy a supercar. For what it cost to buy a Veyron and apparently the upkeep I could probably build and maintain a fleet of 9 second cars for a small town.
@Roger0416 The Veyron is the fastest thing ever. As much as I'd like to write it off as another overpriced European sports car, it is indeed a hypercar.
It's amazing. Absolutely amazing.
I'm not sure how the Veyron will handle laps (in fact, I'm pretty sure I've read that it doesn't handle laps well, at least in earlier iterations), but it's about the fastest thing around on a long strip.
@pissedpookie So what your saying is the Veyron is more or less only really fast in a straight line? A euro supercar, the single most expensive production car on the face of the planet no less, is only fast in a straight line? huh...strange that I haven't heard the torrent of criticism from all the people abroad looking to tear down any american car because it doesn't handle like a porshe or a ferrari (even when it's not supposed to) Tad bit hypocritical I think, but what do I know...
"I respect your opinion, but; 1.3 MILLION dollars, 16 CYLINDERS and FOUR turbos later, and ONLY 1000 HP?"
try using your fucking brain. the veyron is a car built with no compromise. if they need to spend 50k to save 20 pounds, they'll do it. with that mindset, OF COURSE its not gonna be as much bang for the buck as a zr1. you're a retard for even bothering to throw price into the equation when it comes to a veyron.
@xabipp YOU FAIL....Us "Europeans" as you love to call us, can get around 1,200bhp from 1.5 litre 4 cylinder engines, and we managed to do so nearly 30 years ago when Formula One went turbo-charged in the early 80's. Your use of prehistoric OHV V8s just lower cylinder compression and therefore power. The Bugatti Veyron's engine is large for the sole reason of increasing reliability and durability, it's designed to last 10-20 years before a full overhaul.
@Ideology252 lol when a euro engine is big and heavy it's for reliability. When an american engine is big and heavy it's inefficiency, primitive, etc.
I learned something today.
(If you guys could only hear yourselves)
btw OHC isn't anything new. It's been around since like the 1920's. OHV is only about 10 years or so older than that. If you're going to call OHV engines primitive so are OHC engines.
@SanctuaryShred The ZR1 can corner well to a certain degree, because of the characteristics of the torque from the engine, with good dampers etc. However they failed epically when they fitted it with leaf-spring suspension which effectively means the wheels are connected together with a girder, which then means what one wheel does the other does: like a skateboard. So on a road at high speed if you hit a bump its either going to hurt like hell, or unbalance the car completely.
@Ideology252 Oh no doubt... I have personally experiences the ZR1's cornering and it IS better than something like a Mustang. But it can't compete with European Sports cars. It just can't. The Leaf-spring thing was an epic fail, and I think made this car worse than it could have been...
@SanctuaryShred Of course the ZR1 handles better than a Mustang. The Mustang is not in the same class. It's a pony car not a sports car. As far the ZR1 handling is concerned it's still handles better than any rear drive sports car in the 100.000 price range. Sorry but you won't be able to find a RWD sports car from Europe that can beat it for a 100.000.
@fitz207 I can see your point but I have to disagree. A BMW M3 handles far better than the ZR1 and is half the price. Not in the same class maybe, but in terms of pure handling much better... Then we have the Lotus Exige... Handles even better.
"Sorry but you won't be able to find a RWD sports car from Europe that can beat it for a 100.000"
do you even realize domestic cars are always cheaper? its almost as if you're actually retarded enough to think everyone lives in the US. typical self-centered american.
in europe the ZR1 costs roughly the same as a 911 turbo. ouch. you know what the results of a survey on this would be.
Again, I can't understand why some people on YT have such inferiority complexes to feel the need to go to a Corvette video and talk crap. Obviously something about the ZR1 has caught their attention or they would be posting their rhetoric on other videos. If you don't like Corvettes then find another video to troll or get some professional help.
@supdog2112, yeah some videos on youtube are dumb(usually reviewed by americans) by comparing a zr1 to top cars when it had 100 extra over the gtr35 and other super cars.
OUTDATED video. The 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S PDK runs 2.6 0-60 and 10.7 1/4 mile on a slippery airstrip. The 2012 GTR smashes the ZR1 also with a 2.7 0-60 and 10.9 1/4 mile on an a slippery Japanese airstrip. It could do better once temperatures warmup. The 2012 GTR Spec-V should come out soon and perhaps even beat the Porsche numbers.
I don't mind a gtr but since I like horsepower I'd go with the zr1. The gtr is also an amazing car but when I've been in love with my corvette. The gtr is the only nice thing that comes from Nissan. I don't care about the leaf but hey it's full electric.
LMAO!. What kind of LOGICAL response do my Vette fanboys have to say about 2012 GT-R manhandling ZR1's Nurburgring time and even beat the 1 MIL+ US Dollar Ferrari Enzo. Z06 Carbon/Handling version (12 GTR's rightful GM competitor) is a JOKE to a R35 in engineering and a host of other aspects of the car other than just subjective looks. R35 > C6 Vette.
Search: New Nissan GT-R 2011 7:24:22 Nurburgring Lap
@stageman420 agreed, its all the homo jappo import faggots and incested hilbilly Ford owners that whine like babies because the ZR1 OWNs thewir asses in their POS cars. The ZR1 does evetyhing at an average better than any other car built could do. ( Handling, braking, acceleration, top speed, track performance, durability, everything)
too all vette fans here is the reality--- did you hear the news about gm had to stop production? gm car company had to stop its factory from production for a week because it couldn't parts from japan.high quality parts but one or more parts from Japan? so much for your #1 in your little world. there are good high chances that your gm car parts were probably from japan and if you don't like japan please rip your gm parts out from your car now
@thebestman that is only for certain models dipshit, the corvette has all american parts so do some fucking research before you try to validate ur argument!
@tuugfo.yeah that is the kinda of who cares attitude i would expect from lame vette fans...it's just "certain model" then later the vette fans find out it's just the vette made with all japan so it's not like you vette lovers would pull the parts that were from japan out because you guys are lame.gm make cheap car parts and it can't get lazy americans to make the parts for cheap labor anyway,so it import from japan. us get cartoons show from japan/now car parts/then maybe your underwear next.
@DeftonesFan867, you don't show much interest but go figure out from GM to know which parts did came from japan. otherwise, you vette fans are lame in the first place not knowing some parts were being imported, then asking like real idiots-- asking me which part specifically. it is not like you would rip the imported part out and tell gm to make american parts. pretty soon, gm might import all the car parts from japan--so vette retards don't have really figure out which part are imported.
@thebestman You're so knowledgeable so why don't you inform all of us? BTW GM just invested 131 million dollars into the KENTUCKY plant to build the new C7...
Alot of money to spend on an American plant supplied by parts from Japan...
too all vette fans here is the reality--- did you hear the news about gm had to stop production? gm car company had to stop its factory from production for a week because it couldn't parts from japan.high quality parts but one or more parts from Japan? so much for your #1 in your little world. there are good high chances that your gm car parts were probably from japan and if you don't like japan please rip your gm parts out from your car now

I have a Mazda protege 5 baby with 130 ponies that will smoke this ZR-1 and I can do it with four passengers too!!!! Zoom Zoom baby hahahahahahaha!!!!!!
@IHateOnPeopleHella I'm sorry but if you're paying $100k+ for a vehicle, you'd expect at least a modicum of fit and finish. Having a plastic bumper at this price is ludicrous. It would have been cheaper at least to make it of aluminium and that would have looked and felt better if anything. Just that you should have a finished product rather than these half-measures that GM does these days. That's not to say I don't like the ZR1. It is an absolutely awesome car. The handling & engine are superb.
@IHateOnPeopleHella lol it saves weight if you knew anything about a vett you would know that they have amazing power to weight ratio and that is key.
@misternormL Bro, I hate to tell you, but every Corvette since 1966 has had a plastic bumper. I drive a '77 Vette that is one of the most fun cars I've ever driven. Come on.
@tuugfo Hey buddy, the body is fiber glass. Do some research. The front bumper piece located underneath the headlights is plastic, as is the rear bumper piece that the taillights snap into.
Considering I drive one, and have spent the last 6 months restoring it, I'm pretty sure I would know.
Oh, and the fact that my family have been Corvette owners since I was near the age of 3 probably doesn't hurt either. Why do you feel the need to be a dick?
@amankins i drive on too fuck stick the zr1 is fiberglass and carbon fiber, the only plastic is the rear bumper, the front bumper is carbon fiber on the zr1 and plastic on the z06
@tuugfo Yeah. I'm clearly not disagreeing with you if you pay attention. You basically just restated what I said in my last comment. Good work. Oh, so you drive this so called ZR1, eh? Is your ignition key thicker or thinner than a standard house key? I'd love for you to be able to tell me without googling it.
@ldoloish I was referring to "those Germans" as to the ones who make Porsche, Mercedes, Audi & the rest! Not to the German people as a whole, just the German automakers u noodlehead!
It's funny how all theses British, Australian, Italian & Germans are all "hot & bothered" by the Corvette ZR1! Pitting it against cars that cost 3 to 10 times as much, is a compliment. The fact of the matter is if you spent $109,800.00 US at any of these "EXOTIC" car dealerships, you would only receive a chassis with no wheels & no drivetrain! Let's have a race, u go to the Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Noble, Mclaren or Bugatti dealership with $109,800.00 US & buy a car that you will race aga
Agreed , and to top it off ? the Corvette has a 5 year / 100,000 mile power train warranty , and doesn't even require a tune up until 100,000 miles , try getting that with those other brands .
Get your facts straight bud. 2012 R35 GTR owns ZR1 on Nurburgring race track in Germany (mother of ALL race tracks) despite weighing more and having less hp/torque/tire size for road grip. And dont forget GTR is cheaper too with legendary Japanese quality/durability/reliability to its name. Sorry Vette fanboys, GTR has European style engineering at LESS cost than American bang for the buck sports car. Dont forget that GTR cost around 100K total while ZR1 around 130-140K USD.
This is what I love about the GT-R. It is dealing with a dozen cars at the same time. You got Vettes with computers (PTM) and handling and carbon packages just to beat a state of the art Japanese AWD car, you got Porsche guys designed GT2 RS (250K USD car) just to beat a sub-100K USD Japanese car. Hell, put 600HP on a 170K SpecV GTR (200K car) it will bitch slap all the 600HP cars in that class (ZR1, ACR, 911 GT2 RS, etc). GT-R got 911 engineering at Corvette prices. Can't complain!
@vm2003, I think you have your facts all wrong.first off, your talking about a Nissan, not Toyota or Honda, so please dont ride the coat tails of the other more "reliable" cars.Second, Nissan was sued for not honoring their warranties for this "reliable" car.
Remember how everyone was goo goo for launch control on this POS. Well, people took it to the track and used launch control, much to their dismay, the car broke its go fast parts.Third, that rolling eyesore does not resemble any European car. Fourth, the Vette does not cost 140K, its 112k dumb ass.
Get your facts straight delusional fanboy. Nissan R35 is the 1st state of the art advanced technological supercar in the 5 figure USD price range EVER MADE by a Japanese company. WTF do you expect? PERFECTION like Vette engineers who have decades of Lemans experience to get their shit together and still got beat by a heavy R35. Who is the bigger POS. Eyesore? What, Vettes look sexy all of a sudden? In your mom's world, a Toyota Prius sedan looks sexy as well.
Another thing dumb ass. 2012 R35 got RWD and AWD option, LC use WITHOUT voiding warranty. After 4 LC uses, give the car with min to cool down and reuse again. It got lower drag coefficiency (0.26 same as Toy Prius/Lexus LS460/Mercedes S-class), improved EVERYTHING, better HP/torque #s. Yet, it crushed Z06/Z06 Carbon/ZR1/ZR1 PTM in 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile mile, etc. And YES, THIS Vette (ZR1) cost well over 120K (140K was a "GOOD DEAL" back in late 2008). A real EYESORE is the C7. LMAO!
Shut up already GM bum. C7 will look EXACTLY like that, NOTHING more and nothing LESS. It is nothing more than a Transformer's car (with a possible HYBRID engine and I believe the top version is called C7 SS). Mark my words boy and see what's up. R36 on the other hand is sexy as fuck (almost no resemblance to the R35) > R36 also has a luxury version called Infiniti Essence (ULTIMATE Playstation Car). Sorry, Playstation Car > Transformers Car. Or should I say RICE > HOT DOG? LMFAO!
@vm2003 wrong, the c7 is going to have a 5.5 liter small block, confirmed by GM at a press conference, and the zr1 should have a 5.5 twin turbo with onwards of 750 hp
@tuugfo vn2003 is the biggest troll on YT and cares more about the GTR than people that can actually afford the car. The sales of the GTR have gone into the toilet compared to where it was in 08 and beginning of 09. How it performs on a track only matters to people that can't afford the car which is clearly evident by the sales numbers. You are right about the engines that will be used in the C7. That 5.5L is suppose to make 440 hp in the base which already destroys everything at 50K.
First off, how am i a "fanboy" when I appreciate many different types of cars. The ZR1 is not the only car I would ever purchase. Second, what Lemans race are you refering to, that the corvette got beat. I can tell you have never raced any car worth mentioning, not your parents civic either. I have friends who raced many cars in the SSCA with myself tagging along, seeing cars with no technolgy beating cars with all the racing technology embedded in the car.
@vm2003 the gtr is boring and a womans car, its got awd and paddle shifters, who cars if its 2.1 seconds faster around the nurburgring, the zr1 is more fun
WTF are you talking about? Don't confuse a woman's car with a superior engineered car bud. Michael Schumacher (7x F1 champ LOVES paddle shifters), Sebastian Loeb (7x WRC champ LOVES AWD). Woman LOVE easy to drive cars. MAN (whatever that means) LOVE fast cars in all aspects of performance (generally speaking), Magazines LOVE cars that do well on the RING (benchmark of ALL race tracks). Who WINS ALL of these (not just most of these things)? 2012 R35 GT-R. Then we have R36 vs C7 Vette
@nhlzr1z28camaro Yeah but that's because these cars have more money put into them to improve quality. In other words: they won't disintergrate. When its was reviewed by Clarkson the seatbelt came off, and when he drove it off-air for a day-to-day analysis, after a few days it refused to start completely, and it wasn't because the battery had run down.
@Ideology252 Yeah because i believe everything Clarkson says. Clarkson is an entertainer, not a serious reviewer. Corvettes are very reliable, that's a proven fact. More reliable than anything from Ferrari or Lamborghini. Fancy leathers and wood don't equal reliability. Look at Audi and BMW, nice cars but they don't last. (Older Mercedes are a little better) American cars have longer lasting engines and transmissions.
@joyfulvulture 1990 corvette ZR1 beats world endurance record that was held for 50 years. 24 hours full out, only stopping for fuel and driver change. The corvette ran for 28 hours with an average speed of 170 MPH. They stopped when the corvette crossed the 5000 mile mark. There aren't many cars that can go full out for that long without breaking.
@joyfulvulture you just proved that you know nothing about cars. The ZR1 title has been used at 3 points in the corvette's lifespan. First from 1971-1972, then from 1990-1992, and most recently 2009 on.
It's amusing to see Americans bragging about their giant engined cars that can beat the Ferraris with much smaller engines. The Ford GT40 went to Le mans with a 4.7 ltre engine and couldn't beat the 4.0 litre Ferrari so they changed the engne to a 7 lire which finally had enough power to beat the Ferrari. Pretty hollow victory in my opinion.
@bobcooper31 The Bugatti has an 8L W16 quad turbo that was beaten by a 6.3L v8 Twin turbo, sooooo you're statement does not add up :) PLEASE LEARN MORE ABOUT CARS! It's about tuning.
@exoticlown I had no idea that the ZR1 was faster than the Bugatti. The Guinness book of records lists the Bugatti with 1000hp as the fastest road car & I believed them. It pisses me off that they are so inaccurate about things like that. Can you write to Guinness & give them the information about the contest you referred to. I guess the event referred to was done on a quiet back road and not many ppl know about it & that’s the reason why you didn’t quote any references or links to the event
@bobcooper31 You have no idea what I'm talking about do you...? please search "SSC Ultimate aero" Please look at what the motor has, and what the specs are on it, then please search the "Bugatti Veryon 16.4", Not the SS, and do the same, please read what THAT motor has. Sooooo who said the Zr1 was faster than the Bugatti???
@BKsMassive False my friend, The Mclaren F1 IS one hell of a car and I give that car MASSIVE respect for what it is and what it's accomplished, the the SSC is a faster car.
@BKsMassive F1 is a 10 cylinder motor my friend, but not lighter than the SSC, and what test track? the SSC has not contended on a track with a rival being the F1 as the F1 has been retired from being a contender with other super cars.
the ZR1 can run faster than all times these guys have ran

Bottom line the SSC is built to be a diver's car. The Veyron was built for rich people to impress other rich people. I'm sure it they threw in 2 more cylinders and 4 more turbos and 3 more radiators that made the car 20 mph faster than the SSC, added a gold plated dash and seats made from endangered baby seal hide and charged 6 million bucks for the thing people like you'd still be defending the damned thing as superior to everything else on the road.

@xabipp The SSC Ultimate Aero is also the ugliest car known to man kind. It "Was" the fastest car in the world for about five minutes until that same 8.0 QUAD turbocharged W16 that you just bashed, took the kane out of the cupboard and proceeded to whip your SSC's ass with the supersport. I however, do not hate american sports cars because they ARE relatively fun and one might even say value for what they cost. But don't go about saying your budget supercar is the best of the best...

@SanctuaryShred The Veyron didn't whip anything. It edged the SSC out by about 12 mph at a price difference of $1,340,000. (2,000,000 Veyron vs 650,000 SSC) so you are literally paying $111,667 per mph for that 12 mph difference...oh and alot of fancy electronic stuff and a really nice dash and seats. I guess 1.3 million dollars is worth it (uncomfortable pause) ...or something.

@Warblade118 Look... I'm going to put this so that anybody can understand: When you drive a Veyron Supersport you sleep with multiple supermodels every night. When you drive a SSC Ultimate Vulgar, you sleep with multiple blow up dolls at night.....

@Warblade118 No, I am saying that anybody clever enough to have made themselves rich enough to be able to afford either of these cars is also going to be smart enough to appreciate the difference between a big plastic vulgar mobile and a hand crafted masterpiece that is also the faster beast. 1.3 million or no 1.3 million, the fact is its a much better car technically, physically and aesthetically.

@SanctuaryShred Again, what's important here is the CARS not the people buying them.
You keep giving the Veyron credit for how it looks. Appearance is subjective and therefore of only minor importance. (I think both car's are butt ugly btw.)

@Roger0416 I was talking about the price difference between the Veyron and the SSC. Its about 1.3million dollars difference. I just don't see 1.3 million dollars more car there, you know? I'm sure the seats and dash and everything is nicer than what the SSC has, but not 1.3 million dollars better.
The difference between many built 1000HP 4,6,8 clys or whatever and the Veyron is what those engines can do for a few seconds to minutes the Veyron can presumably do until it runs out of gas.

@Warblade118
I Agree I agree, but come on, trust me you can build a VERY reliable 1000 HP car for about 100k... And do you really think the Veyron is never gonna have issues? Come 4 Turbos and 16 Cylinders sounds like a hell of problems to me. But anyways yes I agree with you, I dotn see the 1.3 MILL diff either
Roger0416 8 months ago
@Roger0416 I honestly don't know how durable the Veyron's engine is. It's 8L and 1000HP distributed over 16 cyls. I'd say, just like any car, alot depends on how it's driven and maintained. Most people who'd own a 2 million dollar car are going to take good car of it and probably never ever use all or even half of 1000HP so I'd imagine it wouldn't ever have any major issues. The same could be said for a 1000HP 8L V8 mill too. It just depends.
I do think 16clys and 4 turbos is a bit much though.

@Roger0416 The Veyron is the fastest thing ever. As much as I'd like to write it off as another overpriced European sports car, it is indeed a hypercar.
It's amazing. Absolutely amazing.
I'm not sure how the Veyron will handle laps (in fact, I'm pretty sure I've read that it doesn't handle laps well, at least in earlier iterations), but it's about the fastest thing around on a long strip.

@pissedpookie So what your saying is the Veyron is more or less only really fast in a straight line?

@xabipp YOU FAIL....Us "Europeans" as you love to call us, can get around 1,200bhp from 1.5 litre 4 cylinder engines, and we managed to do so nearly 30 years ago when Formula One went turbo-charged in the early 80's. Your use of prehistoric OHV V8s just lower cylinder compression and therefore power. The Bugatti Veyron's engine is large for the sole reason of increasing reliability and durability, it's designed to last 10-20 years before a full overhaul.

Warblade118 8 months ago
@SanctuaryShred The ZR1 can corner well to a certain degree, because of the characteristics of the torque from the engine, with good dampers etc. However they failed epically when they fitted it with leaf-spring suspension which effectively means the wheels are connected together with a girder, which then means what one wheel does the other does: like a skateboard. So on a road at high speed if you hit a bump its either going to hurt like hell, or unbalance the car completely.
Ideology252 8 months ago
@Ideology252 Oh no doubt... I have personally experiences the ZR1's cornering and it IS better than something like a Mustang. But it can't compete with European Sports cars. It just can't. The Leaf-spring thing was an epic fail, and I think made this car worse than it could have been...
SanctuaryShred 8 months ago
@SanctuaryShred Of course the ZR1 handles better than a Mustang. The Mustang is not in the same class. It's a pony car not a sports car. As far the ZR1 handling is concerned it's still handles better than any rear drive sports car in the 100.000 price range. Sorry but you won't be able to find a RWD sports car from Europe that can beat it for a 100.000.
fitz207 8 months ago
@fitz207 I can see your point but I have to disagree. A BMW M3 handles far better than the ZR1 and is half the price. Not in the same class maybe, but in terms of pure handling much better... Then we have the Lotus Exige... Handles even better.

Let's have a race, u go to the Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Noble, Mclaren or Bugatti dealership with $109,800.00 US & buy a car that you will race aga

Agreed , and to top it off ? the Corvette has a 5 year / 100,000 mile power train warranty , and doesn't even require a tune up until 100,000 miles , try getting that with those other brands .

Get your facts straight bud. 2012 R35 GTR owns ZR1 on Nurburgring race track in Germany (mother of ALL race tracks) despite weighing more and having less hp/torque/tire size for road grip. And dont forget GTR is cheaper too with legendary Japanese quality/durability/reliability to its name. Sorry Vette fanboys, GTR has European style engineering at LESS cost than American bang for the buck sports car. Dont forget that GTR cost around 100K total while ZR1 around 130-140K USD.

This is what I love about the GT-R. It is dealing with a dozen cars at the same time. You got Vettes with computers (PTM) and handling and carbon packages just to beat a state of the art Japanese AWD car, you got Porsche guys designed GT2 RS (250K USD car) just to beat a sub-100K USD Japanese car. Hell, put 600HP on a 170K SpecV GTR (200K car) it will bitch slap all the 600HP cars in that class (ZR1, ACR, 911 GT2 RS, etc). GT-R got 911 engineering at Corvette prices. Can't complain!

@vm2003, I think you have your facts all wrong.first off, your talking about a Nissan, not Toyota or Honda, so please dont ride the coat tails of the other more "reliable" cars.Second, Nissan was sued for not honoring their warranties for this "reliable" car.

Remember how everyone was goo goo for launch control on this POS. Well, people took it to the track and used launch control, much to their dismay, the car broke its go fast parts.Third, that rolling eyesore does not resemble any European car. Fourth, the Vette does not cost 140K, its 112k dumb ass.

Get your facts straight delusional fanboy. Nissan R35 is the 1st state of the art advanced technological supercar in the 5 figure USD price range EVER MADE by a Japanese company. WTF do you expect? PERFECTION like Vette engineers who have decades of Lemans experience to get their shit together and still got beat by a heavy R35. Who is the bigger POS. Eyesore? What, Vettes look sexy all of a sudden? In your mom's world, a Toyota Prius sedan looks sexy as well.

@ASiggeris
Another thing dumb ass. 2012 R35 got RWD and AWD option, LC use WITHOUT voiding warranty. After 4 LC uses, give the car with min to cool down and reuse again. It got lower drag coefficiency (0.26 same as Toy Prius/Lexus LS460/Mercedes S-class), improved EVERYTHING, better HP/torque #s. Yet, it crushed Z06/Z06 Carbon/ZR1/ZR1 PTM in 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile mile, etc. And YES, THIS Vette (ZR1) cost well over 120K (140K was a "GOOD DEAL" back in late 2008). A real EYESORE is the C7. LMAO!

Shut up already GM bum. C7 will look EXACTLY like that, NOTHING more and nothing LESS. It is nothing more than a Transformer's car (with a possible HYBRID engine and I believe the top version is called C7 SS). Mark my words boy and see what's up. R36 on the other hand is sexy as fuck (almost no resemblance to the R35) > R36 also has a luxury version called Infiniti Essence (ULTIMATE Playstation Car). Sorry, Playstation Car > Transformers Car. Or should I say RICE > HOT DOG? LMFAO!
vm2003 10 months ago
@vm2003 wrong, the c7 is going to have a 5.5 liter small block, confirmed by GM at a press conference, and the zr1 should have a 5.5 twin turbo with onwards of 750 hp
tuugfo 9 months ago
@tuugfo vn2003 is the biggest troll on YT and cares more about the GTR than people that can actually afford the car. The sales of the GTR have gone into the toilet compared to where it was in 08 and beginning of 09. How it performs on a track only matters to people that can't afford the car which is clearly evident by the sales numbers. You are right about the engines that will be used in the C7. That 5.5L is suppose to make 440 hp in the base which already destroys everything at 50K.

First off, how am i a "fanboy" when I appreciate many different types of cars. The ZR1 is not the only car I would ever purchase. Second, what Lemans race are you refering to, that the corvette got beat. I can tell you have never raced any car worth mentioning, not your parents civic either. I have friends who raced many cars in the SSCA with myself tagging along, seeing cars with no technolgy beating cars with all the racing technology embedded in the car.

WTF are you talking about? Don't confuse a woman's car with a superior engineered car bud. Michael Schumacher (7x F1 champ LOVES paddle shifters), Sebastian Loeb (7x WRC champ LOVES AWD). Woman LOVE easy to drive cars. MAN (whatever that means) LOVE fast cars in all aspects of performance (generally speaking), Magazines LOVE cars that do well on the RING (benchmark of ALL race tracks). Who WINS ALL of these (not just most of these things)? 2012 R35 GT-R. Then we have R36 vs C7 Vette

EVERLIVERPOOL 9 months ago
@nhlzr1z28camaro Yeah but that's because these cars have more money put into them to improve quality. In other words: they won't disintergrate. When its was reviewed by Clarkson the seatbelt came off, and when he drove it off-air for a day-to-day analysis, after a few days it refused to start completely, and it wasn't because the battery had run down.
Ideology252 8 months ago
@Ideology252 Yeah because i believe everything Clarkson says. Clarkson is an entertainer, not a serious reviewer. Corvettes are very reliable, that's a proven fact. More reliable than anything from Ferrari or Lamborghini. Fancy leathers and wood don't equal reliability. Look at Audi and BMW, nice cars but they don't last. (Older Mercedes are a little better) American cars have longer lasting engines and transmissions.

@joyfulvulture 1990 corvette ZR1 beats world endurance record that was held for 50 years. 24 hours full out, only stopping for fuel and driver change. The corvette ran for 28 hours with an average speed of 170 MPH. They stopped when the corvette crossed the 5000 mile mark. There aren't many cars that can go full out for that long without breaking.

@joyfulvulture you just proved that you know nothing about cars. The ZR1 title has been used at 3 points in the corvette's lifespan. First from 1971-1972, then from 1990-1992, and most recently 2009 on.

It's amusing to see Americans bragging about their giant engined cars that can beat the Ferraris with much smaller engines. The Ford GT40 went to Le mans with a 4.7 ltre engine and couldn't beat the 4.0 litre Ferrari so they changed the engne to a 7 lire which finally had enough power to beat the Ferrari. Pretty hollow victory in my opinion.

exoticlown 1 year ago
@exoticlown I had no idea that the ZR1 was faster than the Bugatti. The Guinness book of records lists the Bugatti with 1000hp as the fastest road car & I believed them. It pisses me off that they are so inaccurate about things like that. Can you write to Guinness & give them the information about the contest you referred to. I guess the event referred to was done on a quiet back road and not many ppl know about it & that’s the reason why you didn’t quote any references or links to the event

@bobcooper31 You have no idea what I'm talking about do you...? please search "SSC Ultimate aero" Please look at what the motor has, and what the specs are on it, then please search the "Bugatti Veryon 16.4", Not the SS, and do the same, please read what THAT motor has. Sooooo who said the Zr1 was faster than the Bugatti???
