It isnt plastic, its a form of composite fiberglass called "sheet moulding compund". How do you know the porsche wasnt racing? I did hear its engine rev as the vette laid up along side of him. Stop making excuses, the porsche didnt really have a chance in this case!
um... the Porsche wasn't racing you... so it wasn't a race. just because I run past Ussein Bolt while he's out for a stroll doesn't mean I beat him in a race...
fuckin redneck got fuckin twin superchargers on that shit probably fuckin peice of shit would be lookin at the ass of a twin turbo 911 for sure no matter how modified your shit is
and for everyone who wants to see a non-bias video watch:
watch?v=iC1vAT-zEbo
Shows a Cayman (not carrera )hammering a C6 Z06 with the corvette refusing to let it pass despite being flagged to do so.. The porsche has 1/2 the engine size and 2 less cylinders..oh and they both weigh almost the same
Bias video? Perhaps you missed the point of the videos I posted. They were not jsut random videos of other Z06's passing killing Porsches. If I wanted to post videos like that, it would take me days to posts those hundreds and hundreds of links. The videos I posted are of ME. So if you have to respond, then post videos of YOU passing Z06s. You can't and we all know why.
Random videos or not, if a porsche is driven properly even the cayman is faster through the bends.
You are just like those blokes on youtube who post videos of them in their Golfs saying they smoked Ferraris, and the ferrari driver is oblivious the the race even happening..
So let me get this straight. First you say that my car is not faster than your 996 Cerrara 4S, then when I post video of me eating a Carrera 4S on the track and factual lap times showing my car is just as fast on track as a 996 turbo, then you make excuses about engine size and call my car a factory gutted race car unsuitable for the street? Really? Are you proud of those comments?
No, my eight year old car is about the same as a Cayman in the corners as it pulls the same lateral Gs and rapes the Caymen on the straights. It's why my car recorded a 7:56 time at Nurburgring and the Cayman S could only do an 8:11 driven by Walter Roehrl. I guess he doesn't know how to drive a Porsche properly? LOL
Sorry, I'm above street racing. Clearly that Porsche owner is not. So once agaan, you are wrong as usual. As for scrubs, that would be the type of person that talks a lot of shit on the interent, but has done nothing worth sharing themselves.
"Motor Trend...in all the tests of the z06 they cant get anywhere near the manufacturers claimed acceleration"
Really? I don't know what the factory claim is but the very first Z06 test that comes up in the search at MotorTrend's website shows they recorded an 11.7 1/4 mile time. That's pretty decent. I don't think the factory claim is much better. I think you are just ignorant and full of shit.
You can only hope your Porsche will stand the test of time as well as my Corvette has. After eight years, 140,000 miles, and countless hours on the race track, everything functions as new on the car, not one part of the drive train has ever been touched as they have always worked flawlessly including the still original clutch, and it has no leaks or rattles. Good luck, you're going to need it.
Stand the test of time? aha the porsche 959 is widely regarded as one of the best cars ever made.. go online and look at the prices it achieves in todays auction rooms..
Corvettes are dime a dozen pieces of shit, hence why they are worth zilch...
even the older vettes, (which I liked because they were good looking and made property not using flismy plastic and ludacris engines) , such as the stingray are not valuable cars.
"Corvettes are dime a dozen pieces of shit, hence why they are worth zilch...even the older vettes...are not valuable cars"
Hmm.. Just some of the auction results
2009 ZR1= $1,000,000
1963 "rondine" Corvette= $1,600,000
1963 Corvette Grand Sport= $5,000,000
If you are soo rich that is not valuable, but are you driving a lowly Carrera? Supply and demand. You if you want to compare vintage prices, compare production numbers first.
@01Z06guy i was about to call you a pos lol i didnt see the quotes i agree man vettes are badass they beat exotics at a fraction of the price and i always tell people if you want nice interior buy a cadillac or something vettes are about performance
LOL, wrong as usual my ass "I'm above street racing" good answer to my question scrub. Your the idiot that compares prices and thinks thats a point, but when I get my videos on here at least they won't be 1 star.
"Your the idiot that compares prices and thinks thats a point"
Your the idiot that tries to compare cars in completely different markets because the Porsches that are in the same markets as Corvettes cannot even come close to competing with them. Always have to take a Porsche from a much higher market to go against a Corvette model in a much lower market because, well, you have to. Of course, you don't want to talk about the ZR1 at all because no Porsche can do what it does at any price.
About quality the germans sports cars can offer best quality but its many times more dificult and expensive too keep those cars in very good condition than american sports cars, because in USA you can find ease plenty of aftermarket high performance parts with less expensive prices than german replacement stock auto parts and the performance offer by any american musclecar its more times more strong than german cars !
american musclecars still kings in power, in drag race, its more fun to drive and many times less expensive to buy and to keep like new than european and japanese sports cars !Congratulations american car makers !
So they're easier to keep new than German cars eh? When is the last time you saw a pre 1970 Corvette or Mustang that wasn't rusted out or that needed a complete restoration. 10-20 maybe. There's still thousands of pre 1970 Porsche's with perfect bodies and paint. You know why because that's real quality.
For a guy who's handle is 97NeonRT I would not expect much more than this comment. I guess since I spend 6 years in Germany and I don't know what I am talking about, I saw plenty of rusted out 70's "performance" German cars in the 90's. Please unless you do not drive these cars in any snow or salt for that matter then you'll get the pristine look. You know a Garage queen look.
LOL you can't go flying by a car thats going slower than you and expect it to accelerate to your speed before you pass it. Think about it. I could be in a minivan doing 70MPH and if you're in a 911 doing 30MPH and I fly by you and you step on it, I'm still going to pass you for at least a couple seconds.
I LIKE PORSCHES, I REALLY DO, BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO JUSTIFY THE PRICE THEY EXPECT PEOPLE TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT HAS A 6 CLINDER BOXER ENGINE! THAT ENGINE IS PRETTY COOL, BUT THE PRICE FOR A PORSCHE IS REDICULOUS! THE PRICE IS OVERINFLATED, JUST LIKE ALL OTHER EURO-PERFORMANCE CARS! YES, FERDINAND PORSCHE MAY BE A LEGEND FOR BUILDING THE BUG, AND ENZO FERRARI IS FAMOUS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, BUT THAT STLL DOESN'T JUSTIFY THE PRICES OF EURO-PERFORMANCE CARS! Does anyone agree or am I nuts?
Umm... Porsches are full of plastic. Only ignorant fools who drool over them but have never owned one or had any real expirience with one would believe they have no plastics. Get a clue, kiddo.
umm, my sister has 996 turbo... theres a difference between the plastic you find on a water bottle and the plastic you find on expensive cell phones. And you still didnt answer the question, if corvettes are so great why no one is buying them
What's that? So now you agree the 911 of full of plastic (the 996 is REALLY full of plastic) but you are trying to say the plastic in the 911 is high quality like a cell phone?
Bwahahahahahahahahahaaa!!!!
Thanks for the laugh pathetic loser! And thanks for agreeing with me that you were full of shit when you said the 911 has no plastic.
Oh, and that remark about GM, "going bankrupt" (which it's not) that has absolutely nothing do to with whether the 911 has plastic or not that you made simply you are butthurt about this video? Well, it's due to the economy and the acrued problems and costs resulting from living under union control for almost 100 years. Now what does that have anything to do with the plastic found through a Porsche?
Anyways im tired of arguing with you, even American car reviewers bash the Corvette for its build qualtiy, but you seem to think otherwise. If you do some research you will see that Porsche is ahead of even Toyota in reliability, which is an amazing achivement for a sports car company
"even American car reviewers bash the Corvette for its build qualtiy"
No they don't. You have no idea what you are talking about. They nit pick interior materials, but nobody can honestly put down the build quality. Did you know that 5th Gear named the Z06 the sports car of the year and Jeremy Clarkson himself declared the ZR1 the best sports car in the world? That's right. They agree that those Corvettes are just plain better than Porsches.
WTF are you talking about? None of your comments ever have a relation to any of mine. What is bullshit? Where did I ever say Porsche had poor quality? Nowhere. Where did I ever say anything about this video? Nowhere. So what the fuck are you talking about?
So instead of just randomly making ignorant hater comments that have no relation to my comments, why don't you actually answer some of my questions for a change? Here is one. Did you know Jeremy Clarckson named the Corvette ZR1 the best sports car in the world? And why do you think he did that?
Wrong. Price had nothing to do with it. The reason he named it the best car of 2009 is that it is the fastest car even made that is comfortable and docile on the street. Soo.. just like every single other post you have made, that one was just plain wrong.
Yeah, a $192,000 top model 911 is better than a $70,000 second teir Corvette. Now try the $192,000 GT2 against the $103,000 ZR1. It's real ugly for the Porsche.
"Yeah, a $192,000 top model 911 is better than a $70,000 second teir Corvette. Now try the $192,000 GT2 against the $103,000 ZR1. It's real ugly for the Porsche." If this is your reply to why corvettes are better I am disappointed.
"Explain to me why Corvette is just plain better than Porsche."
Well, maybe you should read my comments instead of throwing them out the window. I'll quote myself from yesterday; "I didn't sat that." But I'll tell you why Jeremy Clarkson thinks the ZR1 is better than Porsches. He says its the fastest car ever made that is also comfortable, quit, easy to drive, and very street friendly. No Porsche has that combo. According to him, that makes it better than Porsches and everything else.
I didn't sat that. I said 5th Gear and Jeremy Clarkson named the Z06 and ZR1 respectively better than Porsches by nameing them Sports Car of the Year and Best car of 2009. It's a pretty simple concept to understand. Jeremy Clarkson says the ZR1 is the best car of 2009. That means he thinks it's better than Porsches, right? After all, a Porsche is a car and if the ZR1 is the best car, than it's better than a Porsche. Get it?
It occurred to me that because the founder of corvette was a race car driver and european gave me more respect for vettes, but they are not king of the road.
"because the founder of corvette was...european gave me more respect for vettes"
So a person being European gets respect from you? That's completely idiotic. People should be judged by their actions, not their race or nationality. And cars should be judged by their ability, not the nationality of it's designer. BTW, Bill Mitchell desinged the Corvette and he is from Ohio. Zora did not design it. So I guess you should go back to ignorantly hating it.
"So a person being European gets respect from you? That's completely idiotic"
It's completely idiotic that you mention prices but you cannot tell me what makes the Corvette better than Porsche. I'll reply when you can give me that information.
"you cannot tell me what makes the Corvette better than Porsche."
Because "better" is subjective. But if you would be more specific of which Corvette and Porsche model you are talking about, then I could better answer. One thing cannot be desputed. For any particular price range, a Corvette model will demolish any Porsche offering in the same price range. That's a fact.
01z06guy, Let me know when you can explain why corvette is better than Porsche. (Your trying to be annoying but your making me laugh because you can't answer a simple question)
"Explain to me why Corvette is just plain better than Porsche."
Well, maybe you should read my comments instead of throwing them out the window. I'll quote myself from yesterday; "I didn't sat that." But I'll tell you why Jeremy Clarkson thinks the ZR1 is better than Porsches. He says its the fastest car ever made that is also comfortable, quit, easy to drive, and very street friendly.

You know nothing of Corvettes. Have you ever even sat in one? I highly doubt it. Even Clarckson says the ZR1 can be used every day comfortably. I daily drive my Z06 from time to time and it's actually more comfortable than my usual daily driver. Definitely nicer than my Porsche 944. So why don't you get a clue and some real life expirience then get back to me?
Clarkson also says that the Gallardo is boring, and that the Maserati MC12 was pointless, and that a lotus elise could not handle... I think hes awesome however he is often very very wrong..
and corvette were fantastic cars.. the old stingrays were fantastic.. the new cars however are plastic pieces of shit
"Clarkson also says that the Gallardo is boring, and that the Maserati MC12 was pointless, and that a lotus elise could not handle"
And yet with those rediculously high standards and a widely know disdian for anything Amarican, he STILL said the ZR1 was the best car in the world because it's the fastest car ever to also be nice and comfortable to drive on the street. Yet you keep spouting your ignorance that it's not.
and the Porsche Boxster had been named car of the year by 'Car & Driver' times.. does that make it better that the Ferrari 430s and Turbos it went up against?
Its all relative, the ZR1 is a good car.. for the money... but if you want a great car you have to buy
"old stingrays were fantastic.. the new cars however are plastic pieces of shit"
You have already proven to me that you have not a clue what you are talking about so you don't need to keep making that obvious. I have driven a '67, (C2) '68 (C3) '82 (C3) and '94 (C4) Corvettes. Have you? The reality is none of them hold a candle to a C5 or C6 in any possible way. The C5 is a soo much better car it's unbelievable. You really are rediculously clueless.
You mean your brand new car is nicer than a Porsche which was first released in 1982 aha.. did you know the new 7 series is more comfortable than a 1976 rover?
The fact is, even the best corvette, the ZR1, is a piece of shit, and the only people who would buy them are redneck americans..
and ironically, GM produce their fastest car yet, then go bankrupt.. at least we wont be seeing any more shit cars come out of america for a little while
No, you always compare Corvettes to Porches that cost over twice as much as the Corvette because you have to in order for the Porsche to even have a chance at competing. Let's compare the Z06 to the Carrera 4S. Same price. Now the Corvette isn't cheaper.
A porsche Turbo is a grand tourer car which is designed to be comfortable and carr 4 passengers.. Corvettes are designed to be just fast, hence why they all plastic shells with huge supercharged engines..
Compare it to a Euro car which was designed with the same mindset.. Ascari A10, Gumpert Apollo, Radical SR8.. they are the cars you want if you want to go fast
"Corvettes are designed to be just fast,..Compare it to a Euro car which was designed with the same mindset."
WRONG. You are still completely ignorant about the car. You should have taken my advice about getting a clue and some real life expirience before responding again. Instead, you decided to just repeat your ignorance.
The Ascari, Gumpert, Radical etc are the competitors to the ZR1..
The Turbo is a GT car.. Porsche make cars you can use every day.. not cars that will break down, and are too noisy, rediculous tyre roar and a nasty interiors/exterior
"The Ascari, Gumpert, Radical etc are the competitors to the ZR1"
WRONG. None of them are assembly line production cars and none of them have anywhere near the drivability, comfort or interior of a ZR1. Those cars are like the Ultima, Mosler, and Superformance. The only Porsche that compares with the ZR1 is the GT2 and the ZR1 is superior in every way.
Here is some homework for you. Try to find just one review of the ZR1 that says it's unreliable, uncomfortable, or noisy. Go find one and link it here. You can't just like you could find any proof the Porsche is safer than the Corvette.
Americans cannot build good cars because they do not have the knowhow...
The ZR1 is a boy racer.. do you really think it is an achievement to build a plastic car and drop into it an engine which is bigger that a Ferrari enzo, and supercharged and still not be nicer to drive than all european cars?
That is still completely WRONG no matter how many times you repeat it. Link us to any article where the ZR1 is characterized as that. You will again find it in the same place you will find the proof of all the other ignorant bullshit you have spouted off here.
It is a car for kids that think that chrome wheels and big engines make a good car.. like all those WRX drivers out there with exhausts the size of their heads and shiny wheels.. its on the same level
Damn right and proud of it. You sure are a 20 year old kid with no real world expirience who is filled with hate for some reason. What's the matter, did some Maneros and Falcons blow your doors off and laugh at you?
Anyone reading this should go to fastestlaps(dot)com or just google "radical rs8" to see what it is this retard richardsthom is actually trying to say competes with the ZR1. The fact that he would even say that displays just how pathetic and desperite this hater really is.
Find me one relevant person who would choose an american car over a european car?
Noone. only dimwitted americans who are married to their sister would think an american car was good.. they are ugly, lack finesse and refinement, and all handle 'like they are drunk'
yeah im sure it was just the wiring.. was the engine management not letting him rev pas 700rpm the engine managment? or the constant mechancial problems due to wiring?
No, it was the fact that the engine is from the worst car in the world.. a ford pickup
Good job following my instructions to never stop hating. Now when are you going to follow my instructions about providing a link to proof of any of those different BS assertions you made? Go on, look for some proof. I'll wait right here. Or you can just admit that you are nothing but a hater and all those things were false. You just can't help but make up bad things to say because of the hate you have inside. It's okay to admit it. Admitting is the first step to recovery.
"GM refused to donate 4 cars for NCAP testing.. wonder why."
Because we have the NTSB so there is no need to do so. That is the best excuse you could come up with? Really? So if according to you, you cannot find crash test data, then where did you come up with the idea than the Porsche is safer? We all know where, you made it up! You just threw it out there as one more thing you made up as an excuse to hate the car. What about all the other links to proof I asked for?
"The fact is, everything in any walk of life is done better by europeans"
The fact is, that statement is complete bullshit. But it explains how you come to the idiotic and ignorant conclusions that you do about Corvettes. You simply can't believe it's any good because that would go agianst your retarded European superiority belief. Therefor, you make up a bunch of faults that you imagine it must have to explain away the fact you cannot deny that it kills Porsche in performance.
You are not interested in reality, only in making things fit into your retarded belief in European superiority. Well, the ZR1 is a perfect example of how your beleif is wrong. Even the most Euro loving, American hating of them all calls the ZR1 the best car in the world for 2009!
So if jeremy likes it so much, why doesnt he buy one? why does he have a lambo instead? and why does he stand by the F430 as the best car in the world?
Are you mentally challenged or just ignorant?
The fact is a porsche is a better car, and 99% of the world would agree.. just look at the other comments on this video
"porsche is a better car, and 99% of the world would agree"
Really? Then why have worldwide Corvette and 911 sales been a dead heat for many years? And where is your link to proof for any of those many assertions you made that I have asked for your proof on? All you have given me is some lame excuse for why you can't find data for one. (yet both cars have been crash tested in the US) Oh yeah, and a lot of stereotype BS.lies, and hate. You FAIL.
Dead heat, well they havnt been a dead heat, especially in Australia and UK.. actually we have 3 Z06s in Australia. but we sell 5-10 Porsche a month here.
And the reason Porsche are not overly far ahead is because they are expensive?
The same reason why the standard gold outsells the R32.. because its cheaper not because its a better car.. idiot
"havnt been a dead heat, especially in Australia and UK"
Yes they have. WORLDWIDE dumbass. That means for every 911 in your tiny, insignificant market there is an extra Corvette sold somewhere else. Of course there are more 911s in UK and australia, THERE IS NO WRONG HAND DRIVE CORVETTE!!! That makes them kinda hard to sell. But no matter, Corvette makes up the sales difference here in America where we don't have retarded displacement taxes because it's soo much more car for the money,
Exactly, you make it up in America.. because they are so cheap..and only americans want them.. The rest of the world is too sophisticated to drive them. We want precision and quality from cars.. not just a huge engine, plastic shell and fast on a drag strip,
Its not because they are a better car.. your are much more stupid than I originally thought.
I just love it when year year old kids from Australia try to tell you they are superior and more sophisticated than Americans. It only goes to show what an ignorant and pompus fool you are to everyone who reads it. You are too good for a Corvette, 20 year old richardson? What do you drive? BTW, saying the austrialians are to sophisticated for Corvettes is quite funny indeed coming from the country that still builds and loves El Caminos. LOL You are such a joke!
You call it a VE ute. It's an El Camino and it's the universal symbol of low class rednecks.
Now I understand your hate for the Corvette. It bothers you deeply that it rapes your slow Porsche. Here, I have a video for you to watch. It is of me easily passing a 997 Carrera 4S, a car obviously faster than yours.
No. It's a car with a bed. It's an El Camino. The original redneckmobile. This country became too "sophisticated" for them decades ago. Not Australia though! They rock the El Camino but according to richardsthom are too sophisticated for a ZR1. LOL The irony!
You must have never been to australia.. obviously.. The ute which is produced by an arm of GM, is a lower pickup truck.. and inbred american invention.,,
and like JC says ' in parts of america, people have started to mate with vegetables'
"ute which is produced by an arm of GM, is a lower pickup truck.. and inbred american invention."
By your own terms, Australians are building and driving these things. And they can't export them to American because they are too low class for us. So how exactly are Australians who build and drive an inbred invention too sophisticated for a Corvette?
"F-series pick up trucks every year, which are just a bigger version"
No, idiot. F-series, like all our trucks, are real trucks with a cad and a bed. Not a GTO with a bed molded into the body in one piece like your El Camino.
Real trucks, clarkson said it was the worst car in the world... even worse that an old jeep he drive in vietnam., ahah only an american car could take that title
It is GM, one of the largest automotive companies in the world, build the fastest car they have every made and go broke in the process, then 10 blokes in England build a car that smoke it around the Nurburgring ahahaha
The fact is for every American car there is a European car which is better..
Alongside this, European cars are built to a higher standard, much nicer to drive, are safer, have more features, are much better looking, are more refined, same 10x better and are built with precsion and passion.
"for every American car there is a European car which is better"
You can repeat your ignorant nonsense over and over but it doesn't make it true. And your even your fellow Euro nutswinger JC disgrees with you. According to him the ZR1 is the best. That means no European car is better. What about that don't you understand?
It got car of the year 2009.. congrats.. Ask him now what is the best car in the world? and like he has said many times before.. the Ferrari F430.. no surprises there.. and what did he do when the pos Ford GT wouldnt work? he bought a lambo..
"Ask him now what is the best car in the world? and like he has said many times before.. the Ferrari F430"
I noticed you chose to ignore where I informed you that he specifically said why the ZR1 is better than the F430 Scuderia in his opinion and instead just repeated yourself. Explain to me how after he specifically states the ZR1 is better than the F430 Scuderia, you can go putting words in his mouth that are the complete opposite?
For the same reason the Boxster has won car of the year 9 times and the carrera has won it once. Because you stupid americans think that speed and how fast it can get around a track is the only measure of a car..
If this was the car everyone would have gumpert apollosm Noble M15s or Radical SR8s.
The F430 is the best car in the world because it is the ultimate mix of passion power and comfort. not to mention an orgasmic soundtrack
"F430 is the best car in the world because it is the ultimate mix of passion power and comfort"
That's funny because once again I have to inform you that Jeremy Clarckson himself states the ZR1 is a better mix of performance and comfort than the F430 Scuderia. It has more of both. You are actually trying to tell me his opinion by directly contradicting his specific statements. Sorry buddy, that doesn't work.
Clarksons Suggestion not mine.. and Suggest is spelt with a 'u'..
And the standard F430 is a much more comfortable car and sounds better so i am assuming that is why he gave it the title of the best car in the world..
perhaps you should stop talking before you reveal that your intelligence could be measured in negative numbers
Yes, I make typos and spelling errors from time to time. Okay, I have another thing for you to provide a link to. Provide a link to the date that Jeremy Clarckson called the F430 the best car in the world. Let's see if it was before or after testing the ZR1. Because, obviously, if he said that before, then when he said the ZR1 was the best car in the world in 2009 and specifically says its better than the F430 Scuderia, that would certianly supercede his statement about the base F430.
And the date that list was done? Dated October 2005. Yeah, I didn't bother to ask you for the date because I know you would just ignore that little fact that makes this top ten list completely irrelevent to the ZR1.
And let's be honest here, your punctuation is not exactly up to the standard of a superior, sophisticated, Porsche owner, now is it? So you are certianly in no place to throw stones about spelling. Kinda like an Australian calling Australians more sophisticated and superio to Americans.
like I said previously, your pos corvette is hammered by a car built by 10 blokes in a shed in England so its far from an engineering achievement; now thanks to GM's bankruptcy, we wont see any further shitty attempts to keep up with europeans.
enjoy your car that wins awards won buy Golf GTis and standard boxsters.
Try not to make a further cock of yourself in front of everyone
Wow, this fool is trying to say that no car build after 2005 is better that cars built before 2005. Does he really think anybody would agree with that? It's downright laughable. What an incredibly lame excuse for getting proven his list is outdated and completely irrelevant to the ZR1 which didn't even exist yet. A real man, a sophisticated and superior man would rather admit he was wrong than utter such a lame excuse.
"corvette is hammered by a car built by 10 blokes in a shed in England so its far from an engineering achievement"
For those reading this, I would like you to know what richardsthom means by this. He is talking about the Nurburgring lap time of a Radical SR8 compared to the ZR1. Please google, "radical SR8" for pictures to see just how desperite this guy is to find anything European that can outperform the ZR1.
You fail to see how pitiful it is that you have to try to compare the lap time of a hand built, open cockpit, prototype race car to a well appointed, US street legal, daily drivable, assembly line street car? My god, you might be even stupider than I previously knew!
The cockpit is held together glue.. cheap nasty plastic interior with an ugly plastic body.. and a huge V8
If you want a car that you would only want to take to the track, buy a car thats designed for that..
And the Radical is a production street-legal car.. which is built by 10 blokes in a shed in england, unlike corvettes which are built one of the worlds largest car makers.. well GM used to be, now they are broke because they spent all their funds designing that piece of shit ZR1 haah
Every track day that I have been to i have seen rx8s and boxster overtaking the likes of f430s etc..
The point is, next to no ferrari porsche etc owners drive their cars anywhere near the limit.. just like the gentleman in the video. so you can keep telling yourself that your car is faster haha
Wait, did you just say my car is a, "stripped out... plastic noise (WTF is noise?) shell with a kit car build quality?" Really? That's your excuse why my car is just as fast on track as a 996 turbo? Mate, all you are accomplishing here is demonstrating how unbelievably ignorant you really are. How exactly do you think me car aquired 140,000 miles without being an "everyday car?"
Lateral G is not relevant to cornering speeds.. hence why the ZR1 manages a great lateral G than an enzo but still gets smoked through the corners by one.. you really are stupider than I thought
That might be the dumbest thing I have seen typed on the internet in a long time. And that's saying a LOT. Would you care to explain how a car can generate more lateral Gs through a given corner without going faster through it? I would like to hear you explaination so I can laugh some more. Thanks.
Why are you asking me why they are, "talking smack?" First of all, they didn't "talk smack," dumbass. They didn't say anything bad about the Porsche, all he does is simply state the fact that he beat it. This must be why you hate me too. When I state the FACT that Corvettes kill Porsche is every market in which they compete, you consider that, "talking smack" don't you? What a loser you are to take offense to FACTS.
Lets talk about the ZR-1 scrub is it a supercar? Does it do over 220mph. You tell me how many German or Italian cars have 638hp and do 205mph. When your arguing with me your arguing about sports cars vs. Super cars I don't talk about barbie cars and I don't cry about prices like you do.
Wait, you are actually complaining that the ZR1 has too much HP for a top speed of 205mph? Really? You do realize that anyone who insults a car for having too much power is automatically a ricer, don't you?
Top speed was clearly not the goal for the car and is meaningless. 205mph is plenty fast for any street car. The car is a comfortable, quit, dialy drivable street car that is also incredibly dominant of the race track. No Porsche can equal it's attributes at any price.
Basically, your saying that Corvette is better than Porsche now how hard was that. Last I checked I didn't see any prices win pole position or races. If it ever does send me a video. Until then keep being a bias scrub because I haven't seen you show any respect to nothing but corvette. God Bless you!
lol agreed with everyone...porsche wasn't even racing you and all you say is modified? LOL I love driving a fast piece of plastic

@DrGamble28 Plastic?
It isnt plastic, its a form of composite fiberglass called "sheet moulding compund". How do you know the porsche wasnt racing? I did hear its engine rev as the vette laid up along side of him. Stop making excuses, the porsche didnt really have a chance in this case!

and for everyone who wants to see a non-bias video watch:
watch?v=iC1vAT-zEbo
Shows a Cayman (not carrera )hammering a C6 Z06 with the corvette refusing to let it pass despite being flagged to do so.. The porsche has 1/2 the engine size and 2 less cylinders..oh and they both weigh almost the same
Ferrari is ahead of both.
richardsthom 2 years ago
Bias video? Perhaps you missed the point of the videos I posted. They were not jsut random videos of other Z06's passing killing Porsches. If I wanted to post videos like that, it would take me days to posts those hundreds and hundreds of links. The videos I posted are of ME. So if you have to respond, then post videos of YOU passing Z06s. You can't and we all know why.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Random videos or not, if a porsche is driven properly even the cayman is faster through the bends.
You are just like those blokes on youtube who post videos of them in their Golfs saying they smoked Ferraris, and the ferrari driver is oblivious the the race even happening..

So let me get this straight. First you say that my car is not faster than your 996 Cerrara 4S, then when I post video of me eating a Carrera 4S on the track and factual lap times showing my car is just as fast on track as a 996 turbo, then you make excuses about engine size and call my car a factory gutted race car unsuitable for the street? Really? Are you proud of those comments?
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Your car gets raped in the bends by a Cayman.. as we have seen.. when a porsche is driven properly, it smokes a Z06 through the bends..
And when a Porsche isnt being driven as hard as you are trying that doesnt mean you are faster ahahah
richardsthom 2 years ago
No, my eight year old car is about the same as a Cayman in the corners as it pulls the same lateral Gs and rapes the Caymen on the straights. It's why my car recorded a 7:56 time at Nurburgring and the Cayman S could only do an 8:11 driven by Walter Roehrl. I guess he doesn't know how to drive a Porsche properly? LOL

Really? I don't know what the factory claim is but the very first Z06 test that comes up in the search at MotorTrend's website shows they recorded an 11.7 1/4 mile time. That's pretty decent. I don't think the factory claim is much better. I think you are just ignorant and full of shit.

You can only hope your Porsche will stand the test of time as well as my Corvette has. After eight years, 140,000 miles, and countless hours on the race track, everything functions as new on the car, not one part of the drive train has ever been touched as they have always worked flawlessly including the still original clutch, and it has no leaks or rattles. Good luck, you're going to need it.

Stand the test of time? aha the porsche 959 is widely regarded as one of the best cars ever made.. go online and look at the prices it achieves in todays auction rooms..
Corvettes are dime a dozen pieces of shit, hence why they are worth zilch...
even the older vettes, (which I liked because they were good looking and made property not using flismy plastic and ludacris engines) , such as the stingray are not valuable cars.

1963 Corvette Grand Sport= $5,000,000

Your the idiot that tries to compare cars in completely different markets because the Porsches that are in the same markets as Corvettes cannot even come close to competing with them. Always have to take a Porsche from a much higher market to go against a Corvette model in a much lower market because, well, you have to. Of course, you don't want to talk about the ZR1 at all because no Porsche can do what it does at any price.

About quality the germans sports cars can offer best quality but its many times more dificult and expensive too keep those cars in very good condition than american sports cars, because in USA you can find ease plenty of aftermarket high performance parts with less expensive prices than german replacement stock auto parts and the performance offer by any american musclecar its more times more strong than german cars !

Oh, and that remark about GM, "going bankrupt" (which it's not) that has absolutely nothing do to with whether the 911 has plastic or not that you made simply you are butthurt about this video?

Now what does that have anything to do with the plastic found through a Porsche?

No they don't. You have no idea what you are talking about. They nit pick interior materials, but nobody can honestly put down the build quality.

They agree that those Corvettes are just plain better than Porsches.

01Z06guy 3 years ago
So instead of just randomly making ignorant hater comments that have no relation to my comments, why don't you actually answer some of my questions for a change? Here is one. Did you know Jeremy Clarckson named the Corvette ZR1 the best sports car in the world? And why do you think he did that?
01Z06guy 3 years ago
cause its a fast car for cheap price, otherwise no one else would buy it...why do you think he has a Mercedes and a Lamborghini?
8MunchenBayern8 3 years ago
Wrong. Price had nothing to do with it. The reason he named it the best car of 2009 is that it is the fastest car even made that is comfortable and docile on the street. Soo.. just like every single other post you have made, that one was just plain wrong.

I didn't sat that. I said 5th Gear and Jeremy Clarkson named the Z06 and ZR1 respectively better than Porsches by nameing them Sports Car of the Year and Best car of 2009. It's a pretty simple concept to understand. Jeremy Clarkson says the ZR1 is the best car of 2009. That means he thinks it's better than Porsches, right? After all, a Porsche is a car and if the ZR1 is the best car, than it's better than a Porsche. Get it?

So a person being European gets respect from you? That's completely idiotic. People should be judged by their actions, not their race or nationality.

A porsche Turbo is a grand tourer car which is designed to be comfortable and carr 4 passengers.. Corvettes are designed to be just fast, hence why they all plastic shells with huge supercharged engines..

Because we have the NTSB so there is no need to do so. That is the best excuse you could come up with? Really? So if according to you, you cannot find crash test data, then where did you come up with the idea than the Porsche is safer? We all know where, you made it up! You just threw it out there as one more thing you made up as an excuse to hate the car. What about all the other links to proof I asked for?

"The fact is, everything in any walk of life is done better by europeans"
The fact is, that statement is complete bullshit. But it explains how you come to the idiotic and ignorant conclusions that you do about Corvettes. You simply can't believe it's any good because that would go agianst your retarded European superiority belief. Therefor, you make up a bunch of faults that you imagine it must have to explain away the fact you cannot deny that it kills Porsche in performance.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
You are not interested in reality, only in making things fit into your retarded belief in European superiority. Well, the ZR1 is a perfect example of how your beleif is wrong. Even the most Euro loving, American hating of them all calls the ZR1 the best car in the world for 2009!
01Z06guy 2 years ago
So if jeremy likes it so much, why doesnt he buy one? why does he have a lambo instead? and why does he stand by the F430 as the best car in the world?
Are you mentally challenged or just ignorant?
The fact is a porsche is a better car, and 99% of the world would agree.. just look at the other comments on this video

"porsche is a better car, and 99% of the world would agree"
Really? Then why have worldwide Corvette and 911 sales been a dead heat for many years? And where is your link to proof for any of those many assertions you made that I have asked for your proof on? All you have given me is some lame excuse for why you can't find data for one. (yet both cars have been crash tested in the US) Oh yeah, and a lot of stereotype BS.lies, and hate. You FAIL.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Dead heat, well they havnt been a dead heat, especially in Australia and UK.. actually we have 3 Z06s in Australia. but we sell 5-10 Porsche a month here.
And the reason Porsche are not overly far ahead is because they are expensive?
The same reason why the standard gold outsells the R32.. because its cheaper not because its a better car.. idiot
richardsthom 2 years ago
"havnt been a dead heat, especially in Australia and UK"
Yes they have. WORLDWIDE dumbass. That means for every 911 in your tiny, insignificant market there is an extra Corvette sold somewhere else. Of course there are more 911s in UK and australia, THERE IS NO WRONG HAND DRIVE CORVETTE!!! That makes them kinda hard to sell. But no matter, Corvette makes up the sales difference here in America where we don't have retarded displacement taxes because it's soo much more car for the money,
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Exactly, you make it up in America.. because they are so cheap..and only americans want them.. The rest of the world is too sophisticated to drive them. We want precision and quality from cars.. not just a huge engine, plastic shell and fast on a drag strip,
Its not because they are a better car.. your are much more stupid than I originally thought.

I just love it when year year old kids from Australia try to tell you they are superior and more sophisticated than Americans. It only goes to show what an ignorant and pompus fool you are to everyone who reads it. You are too good for a Corvette, 20 year old richardson? What do you drive? BTW, saying the austrialians are to sophisticated for Corvettes is quite funny indeed coming from the country that still builds and loves El Caminos. LOL You are such a joke!
01Z06guy 2 years ago
I have never heard of an El Camino but obviously like most americans do not know geography...
I have an 04 carrera 4s and the mrs has an 02 boxster S
Europeans, from when we invented the car to now, have always been lightyears ahead and will remain lightyears ahead.
richardsthom 2 years ago
You call it a VE ute. It's an El Camino and it's the universal symbol of low class rednecks.
Now I understand your hate for the Corvette. It bothers you deeply that it rapes your slow Porsche. Here, I have a video for you to watch. It is of me easily passing a 997 Carrera 4S, a car obviously faster than yours.

A ute? a ute is a pick-up.. same thing.. wheras our farmers are using them for work, americans use them to look good, and impress their cousins.
richardsthom 2 years ago
No. It's a car with a bed. It's an El Camino. The original redneckmobile. This country became too "sophisticated" for them decades ago. Not Australia though! They rock the El Camino but according to richardsthom are too sophisticated for a ZR1. LOL The irony!
01Z06guy 2 years ago
You must have never been to australia.. obviously.. The ute which is produced by an arm of GM, is a lower pickup truck.. and inbred american invention.,,
and like JC says ' in parts of america, people have started to mate with vegetables'
richardsthom 2 years ago
"ute which is produced by an arm of GM, is a lower pickup truck.. and inbred american invention."
By your own terms, Australians are building and driving these things. And they can't export them to American because they are too low class for us. So how exactly are Australians who build and drive an inbred invention too sophisticated for a Corvette?
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Why would we export them? you sell millions of F-series pick up trucks every year, which are just a bigger version.. idiot ahah
richardsthom 2 years ago
"F-series pick up trucks every year, which are just a bigger version"
No, idiot. F-series, like all our trucks, are real trucks with a cad and a bed. Not a GTO with a bed molded into the body in one piece like your El Camino.

Real trucks, clarkson said it was the worst car in the world... even worse that an old jeep he drive in vietnam., ahah only an american car could take that title

The fact is for every American car there is a European car which is better..
Alongside this, European cars are built to a higher standard, much nicer to drive, are safer, have more features, are much better looking, are more refined, same 10x better and are built with precsion and passion.

You can repeat your ignorant nonsense over and over but it doesn't make it true. And your even your fellow Euro nutswinger JC disgrees with you. According to him the ZR1 is the best. That means no European car is better. What about that don't you understand?
01Z06guy 2 years ago
It got car of the year 2009.. congrats.. Ask him now what is the best car in the world? and like he has said many times before.. the Ferrari F430.. no surprises there.. and what did he do when the pos Ford GT wouldnt work? he bought a lambo..
you can go back to eating burgers now
richardsthom 2 years ago
"Ask him now what is the best car in the world? and like he has said many times before.. the Ferrari F430"
I noticed you chose to ignore where I informed you that he specifically said why the ZR1 is better than the F430 Scuderia in his opinion and instead just repeated yourself. Explain to me how after he specifically states the ZR1 is better than the F430 Scuderia, you can go putting words in his mouth that are the complete opposite?
01Z06guy 2 years ago
For the same reason the Boxster has won car of the year 9 times and the carrera has won it once. Because you stupid americans think that speed and how fast it can get around a track is the only measure of a car..
If this was the car everyone would have gumpert apollosm Noble M15s or Radical SR8s.
The F430 is the best car in the world because it is the ultimate mix of passion power and comfort. not to mention an orgasmic soundtrack
richardsthom 2 years ago
"F430 is the best car in the world because it is the ultimate mix of passion power and comfort"
That's funny because once again I have to inform you that Jeremy Clarckson himself states the ZR1 is a better mix of performance and comfort than the F430 Scuderia. It has more of both. You are actually trying to tell me his opinion by directly contradicting his specific statements. Sorry buddy, that doesn't work.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Actually it isnt because the Scuderia is a totally different car to the standard F430 ahah idiot
richardsthom 2 years ago
Wow. This fool is actually seggesting that the base F430 is a better car than the F430 Scuderia. Does he really think anyone is going to buy that?
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Clarksons Suggestion not mine.. and Suggest is spelt with a 'u'..
And the standard F430 is a much more comfortable car and sounds better so i am assuming that is why he gave it the title of the best car in the world..
perhaps you should stop talking before you reveal that your intelligence could be measured in negative numbers
richardsthom 2 years ago
Yes, I make typos and spelling errors from time to time. Okay, I have another thing for you to provide a link to. Provide a link to the date that Jeremy Clarckson called the F430 the best car in the world. Let's see if it was before or after testing the ZR1. Because, obviously, if he said that before, then when he said the ZR1 was the best car in the world in 2009 and specifically says its better than the F430 Scuderia, that would certianly supercede his statement about the base F430.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Soo go ahead and provide a link. Why don't you provide a link to all those other assertions you made way back when and and failed to back up as well?
01Z06guy 2 years ago
He says it all the time during Top Gear.... I remember he said it once during the M5 clip but cant remember the other times..
and the ZR1 was 'car of the year' not best car in the world. ahah
Do you know what he said car of the year 2008 was? Golf GTi
ahah idiot
richardsthom 2 years ago
oh and this is the list Clarkson and the entire TG team compiled of the best cars, not just clarkson but everyone:
OK, so if we had to put a top 10 in order, this would be it...
1. Rolls-Royce Phantom
Faultless, peerless, ageless. No wonder Jeremy's so impressed.
2. Ferrari F430
All the emotion, none of the frustration. It's a 24/7 supercar.
3. Aston Martin DB9
Ice-cool British beauty. Yes it has its faults, but call that character.
richardsthom 2 years ago
And the date that list was done? Dated October 2005. Yeah, I didn't bother to ask you for the date because I know you would just ignore that little fact that makes this top ten list completely irrelevent to the ZR1.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
And let's be honest here, your punctuation is not exactly up to the standard of a superior, sophisticated, Porsche owner, now is it? So you are certianly in no place to throw stones about spelling. Kinda like an Australian calling Australians more sophisticated and superio to Americans.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
4. Bentley Arnage
A car built to outlive its owners. Quality craftsmanship ends here.
5. Range Rover Supercharged
From the Cotswolds to Compton, its a low-ratio, high profile must.
6. Ford GT
Heart not head. Thirsty, meaty, silly-fast and super-exclusive.
7. Mercedes S65 AMG
The Teuton's choice. Blistering pace and souless mega-tech.
richardsthom 2 years ago
8. Maserati Quattroporte
The romantic's choice. Seductive, luxurious and neatly understated.
9. Volkswagen Phaeton
Simply is the most precisely engineered limo money can buy.
10. Porsche 997 Carrera S
Supercar handling, everyday useability. Now with extra soul.

like I said previously, your pos corvette is hammered by a car built by 10 blokes in a shed in England so its far from an engineering achievement; now thanks to GM's bankruptcy, we wont see any further shitty attempts to keep up with europeans.
enjoy your car that wins awards won buy Golf GTis and standard boxsters.

Wow, this fool is trying to say that no car build after 2005 is better that cars built before 2005. Does he really think anybody would agree with that? It's downright laughable. What an incredibly lame excuse for getting proven his list is outdated and completely irrelevant to the ZR1 which didn't even exist yet. A real man, a sophisticated and superior man would rather admit he was wrong than utter such a lame excuse.

Age has nothing to do with cars performance, made evident in the fact that a McLAren F1 from 1992 is faster than your 2009 ZR1.. hah idiot

For those reading this, I would like you to know what richardsthom means by this. He is talking about the Nurburgring lap time of a Radical SR8 compared to the ZR1. Please google, "radical SR8" for pictures to see just how desperite this guy is to find anything European that can outperform the ZR1.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
I fail to see your point? are you embarassed that it can smoke your pos corvette?
They had next to no money to develop a car that is as fast as possible.. GM used all their money and are still slower.
richardsthom 2 years ago
"I fail to see your point?"
You fail to see how pitiful it is that you have to try to compare the lap time of a hand built, open cockpit, prototype race car to a well appointed, US street legal, daily drivable, assembly line street car? My god, you might be even stupider than I previously knew!
01Z06guy 2 years ago
The cockpit is held together glue.. cheap nasty plastic interior with an ugly plastic body.. and a huge V8
If you want a car that you would only want to take to the track, buy a car thats designed for that..
And the Radical is a production street-legal car.. which is built by 10 blokes in a shed in england, unlike corvettes which are built one of the worlds largest car makers.. well GM used to be, now they are broke because they spent all their funds designing that piece of shit ZR1 haah

Oh there is absolutely no doubt that it is. My car is on par with a 996 turbo. Surely you know your 996 Carrera 4S is no match for a turbo, don't you?
Hockenheim Short from Sport Auto

01Z06guy 2 years ago
On a straight of course its faster, its got almost 6L and 2 more cylinders and is stripped out to about 1100kg..
Cornering speeds the turbo spokes it, but like the new GT3 is faster through the bends than a ZR1..
And the turbo is an everyday car, not a plastic noise shell with kit car build quality..
The turbo has 4 seats, all options, is nicer to drive and looks and sounds better..
richardsthom 2 years ago
Wait, did you just say my car is a, "stripped out... plastic noise (WTF is noise?) shell with a kit car build quality?" Really? That's your excuse why my car is just as fast on track as a 996 turbo? Mate, all you are accomplishing here is demonstrating how unbelievably ignorant you really are. How exactly do you think me car aquired 140,000 miles without being an "everyday car?"
01Z06guy 2 years ago
"GT3 is faster through the bends than a ZR1"
WRONG. Motor Trend ran both cars through their figure eight and found the ZR1 corners better.
Porsche 911 GT3
24.2 seconds @ 0.81 g; 1.02 lateral g
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
23.7 seconds @ 0.87 g; lat 1.10 lateral g
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Lateral G is not relevant to cornering speeds.. hence why the ZR1 manages a great lateral G than an enzo but still gets smoked through the corners by one.. you really are stupider than I thought
richardsthom 2 years ago
"Lateral G is not relevant to cornering speeds"
That might be the dumbest thing I have seen typed on the internet in a long time. And that's saying a LOT. Would you care to explain how a car can generate more lateral Gs through a given corner without going faster through it? I would like to hear you explaination so I can laugh some more. Thanks.

Why are you asking me why they are, "talking smack?" First of all, they didn't "talk smack," dumbass. They didn't say anything bad about the Porsche, all he does is simply state the fact that he beat it. This must be why you hate me too. When I state the FACT that Corvettes kill Porsche is every market in which they compete, you consider that, "talking smack" don't you? What a loser you are to take offense to FACTS.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Lets talk about the ZR-1 scrub is it a supercar? Does it do over 220mph. You tell me how many German or Italian cars have 638hp and do 205mph. When your arguing with me your arguing about sports cars vs. Super cars I don't talk about barbie cars and I don't cry about prices like you do.
Aztech355 2 years ago
Wait, you are actually complaining that the ZR1 has too much HP for a top speed of 205mph? Really? You do realize that anyone who insults a car for having too much power is automatically a ricer, don't you?
Top speed was clearly not the goal for the car and is meaningless. 205mph is plenty fast for any street car. The car is a comfortable, quit, dialy drivable street car that is also incredibly dominant of the race track. No Porsche can equal it's attributes at any price.
01Z06guy 2 years ago
Basically, your saying that Corvette is better than Porsche now how hard was that. Last I checked I didn't see any prices win pole position or races. If it ever does send me a video. Until then keep being a bias scrub because I haven't seen you show any respect to nothing but corvette. God Bless you!
