  • hrm Tell me your fantasies

  • It was Chevy's commercial.

  • one word comes to mind?typical dimbass american ffs "drag race" anywhere eslee on this planet is 2 words

  • @BAwithBALLS . We're talking cars not beers. Not sure what your point is other than to tell us you f6 doesnt handle as well and your intamacy with boyles ass crack You saw the video. All im saying is for the money a vette costs it runs with the best of them and even beats some of them for a fraction of the price. btw ford australia is still ford. I've owned many cars from jaguar to mercedes. currently driving a cts-v . my mrs drives a range rover so not partial to just american cars

  • @tubin111889 Actually Australian Ford is totally different they design cars only for Australians, exactly the same with British Ford cars such as the Ford Escort/Sierra Cosworth, RS200, Capri, Granada, Mondeo. It was infact the British that designed and invented the original Ford GT40. :-)

  • @MasonTrance I'm aware of that, thanks mason. Brits helped design the body of the car but the powerplant I believe is american which is what propells the car. Again, I'm a car enthusiest. Nothing sounds like a ferrari wide open or looks like a lambourghini or aston . all i'm saying is dollar for dollar you can't beat american muscle. Also, having lived in london for a short time I saw plenty of fords.

  • @MasonTrance Also I'd like to hear your proof that GM is using Ferrari brakes @ their cars.

    Put up or Shut up.

  • @BAwithBALLS dimbass ? what's with the insults or sad attempt at an insult? was I rude to anyone or stomp on someones opinion ? maybe you should open a book and learn to spell and work on grammer while you're at it

  • american horsepower is king. pound for pound and dollar for dollar the vette is way out in front. you saw the results. need more proof? throw in the ford GT

  • @tubin111889 american hp is king?haha not quite mate ,ford australia have a car called the F6 search the videos,ours may not handle as well and are about 500kg heavier and still haul fucking ass,you yanks are full of ya selves wtf?you guys even call budweiser KING OF BEERS?mate that shiot taste like susan boyles ass crack mf

  • The British Top Gear was 1million times better than this american topgear garbage...

  • ok now race it against the 580 hp all wheel drive nissan gtr

  • how about 599 GTO vs Zr1 vs 2012 GTR vs gt2 rs

  • Comment removed

  • I don't change the GTR...

  • Thing is...'12 GTR has less drag, more downforce, larger displacement, and 50+ hp than the '08 GTR... All for less than 90K! Best bang for the buck! Even more so than the ZR1. I love 'em ALL!

  • I bet it would be different if they stacked up the '12 458 Italia, '12 GTR, '12 ZR1 and '12 GT2. Maybe a different story. Would love to see that matchup!

  • damn, they made the GTR look bad in this one lol

  • well, ZR1 is the most powerfull here ... if you combine it with long drag race, ZR1 wins.... but it has the worst launch, it has shitty interier, horrible ride quality and what sounds better.. "hey man, I have a chevrolet" or "hey man, I have a ferrari/porsche"

  • @nema5 and "hey man, my car that costs 1/3 of what you paid, spanks yours all day long" LOL

  • I think that nothig can be faster than the GTR you just need a good driver

  • @reyquezada A good driver are you serious? The car has launch control, paddle shifters, and is awd a five year old could drive it just as fast as a pro driver in a straight line.

    This comming from someone who would have the GT-R over all the car in this vidoe

  • Degela, to each his own bro,

  • I would never buy ZR1 just because it's fastest car. Look at interior. It costs 20 dollars to make the interior. And it is ugly car. If you want good looking, good handling and fast car buy germans cars. BMW, Mercedes, Audi...

  • the best car, the GTR. He himself has become final

  • The Porsche or GTR were never designed for straight line speed. Next test, circuit race.

  • Ahah this idiot americans only thing that comes to mind is drag race, of course, you dont want to do something crazy like take the ZR1 to a circuit and watch the car desintegrate

  • Comment removed

  • @itssimpleiwinyoulose It's funny you should say that the Corvette would disintegrate on a circuit. 2008 nurburgring times for these cars. 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Foriano - 7:47.0, 2008 Porsche GT2 - 7:32.0, 2009 Nissan GT-R - 7:29.03, 2009 Corvette ZR1 - 7:26.4. ZR1 = king of the drags, king of the circuit, don't let the bowtie fool you she means business.

  • @CDSteele15 yeah really the king... except that it raced with racing slicks and, according to Jeremy Clarkson, he tested one in California and on the 3rd day the engine refused to start. Good thing you only need 1 lap to set a record ;)

  • @itssimpleiwinyoulose God you top gear kids get on my nerves. Did you read his review of the car on his blog idiot the key reader was not working yet when started with the key itself it started right up.

    Racing slicks are you kidding me, the ZR1 uses pilot sport cups based on the same tires the BMW M3 and GT2rs use not even close to racing slick so how bout you get of wiki and leave the comedy car show behind and learn some real fact.

  • @CDSteele15 Nurburgring is not what I would consider a "Circuit". It's not a technical track. I'd like to see all cars on a more technical track... oh wait.. Top Gear already did that.

  • @AthensGTI Are you serious, did you really just say Nurburgring is not a technical track?!? Please leave and never come back.

    Top Gear ran the Vette on a wet/damp day and it still managed to be less than a second slower than the GT-R time.

  • @eg6gsr Sorry, I race Superbikes. I must know nothing about race tracks.

  • @AthensGTI I don't care what you race, if you think the Nurburgring is not a technical course then you need to leave anything automotive out of your mouth.

    Again please leave

  • @eg6gsr Your insult was a run-on sentence.

  • @AthensGTI And you still need to leave anything automotive out of your mouth.

    Again please leave "super bike race"

    Now that is a joke

  • @eg6gsr What exactly is a joke about motorcycle racing? Motorcycle racing is failing in America because the company that purchased the series is trying to run it like nascar. I am not happy that I have to deal with it, but on the other hand I am lucky to do what I love and get paid for it. Do you see motorcycle racers as inferior to 4 wheeled racers? I want to hear your opinion, if you can manage to state your opinion intelligently.

  • @AthensGTI I didn't say Super Bike Racing is a Joke I said YOU are a joke, because some how you think the Nurburgring is not a technical course. Answer me this question mister "Super Bike" how come the faster ever Bike time on Ring course (not even the full course) is slower than a production car running the full course if its not technical?

    Get lost dude You are a joke and need to stop speaking period

  • @AthensGTI Your an idiot.

  • @xabipp Come on... it's not like they are racing on the F1 track. It's the outer loop. Not as technical. Period.

  • @AthensGTI Your still an idiot.Period.

  • @xabipp Sorry if my slightly more professional opinion doesn't jive with your fragile ego. Go back to being an internet bully, an armchair quarterback and video game racing.

  • @AthensGTI Hmmm...

    Speaking of video game racing...yeah...you should stick to that.

  • @xabipp Grow up. I'll give you a bucket full of rocks. You can play with them in your glass house.

  • @AthensGTI Still taking Kidiot?

  • @xabipp First of all the only reason why it took me a day to reply back because you failed to read a comment you clearly couldn't read, secondly why would i be mentioning anything about the Dodge Viper ACR or Porsches tires when the whole debate has been about the Corvette ZR1 and Nissan GTR. I think you're trying to make up excuses, an argument you can't win...

  • @MasonTrance You have no idea what you are talking about.

    GTRs time @ Ring are BS as proven by Porsche back @ 2008.

    Also...you never replied to me about that BS you said about GMs MSRC suspension.

    I'm still waiting btw.

  • @xabipp Do your own research Porsche never proved that the GTR time was fake, just another excuse. Otherwise Nissan would have had to retest just how Lexus did with the LFA. It was infact in 2009 Nissan Motors conducted test with optional tires video confirmed not fake, no added semi tires just optional what comes with the GTR. Can you actually prove me wrong, i do not think so.

    Secondly It was not the suspension i was talking about but the chassis, do your own research. :-)

  • @MasonTrance Porsche bought bone stock GTR and ran it for days and couldnt get better than 7.54.Period.

    Yes you were talking about the MSRC suspension.Why do you lie to me now kiddie?

    Want me to go back and dig up your own comment?Stupid loser.

    Get an education about cars.

  • @xabipp Porsche could not get past 7.54 ?? Then explain why Sport Auto managed to get a time of 7:34 and 7:38 ?? Tell me why most of Porsche's times have either been done by Sports Auto or Evo Magazine and never shown a video confirmation of their GT2 RS ?? Does that mean because Auto Blind (7:41) Sport Auto (7:38) and Manufacterer claim of 7:26.4 for the Corvette ZR1, does that make GM time fake too ?? Stop talking out of your arse, since you come from Rome you should least have some sense....

  • @MasonTrance Yeah Porsche couldn't get past 7.54.

    Could care less about Sport Auto.They could have been driving an modded cars from Nissan.When the GTR was only 0.3 sec behind the Vette...it was getting humiliated with 2-6 seconds difference @ other tracks.Looks fishy....

    You still avoid my question about the MSRC suspension and Brakes.

  • @CDSteele15 - "2008 nurburgring times for these cars. 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Foriano - 7:47.0, 2008 Porsche GT2 - 7:32.0, 2009 Nissan GT-R - 7:29.03, 2009 Corvette ZR1 - 7:26.4" I remember reading an article in Car and Driver by one of their regular columnists about "boulevard cruisers" vs. race ready cars from the factory. The final word: BMW, Porshe, Viper, and ... Corvette. Two years before that, I remember a track test of a M3 vs. 350Z vs. Carrera vs. Corvette. Corvette won by 4 secs.

  • @CDSteele15

    Both cars are great cars, the 6 second gap between the GTR and the ZR1 couldn't be any more obvious:

    1. + 93HP

    2. - 460lbs

    3. + $20,000

    4. - 2 seats

    lol

  • @CDSteele15 Incorrect the 2009 Nissan GTR lapped the Nurburgring in 7.26.7 seconds which is 0.3 milliseconds slower than the Corvette ZR1's lap time.

  • @itssimpleiwinyoulose you are an idiot...I know you are thinking "I seen Jeremy Clarkson say the car is poor quality even without ever seeing the car myself, I will be ignorant and believe an anti-american racist tv show host over all the other reviews from all the non-biased people that also say the vette won"...I like how you also call Americans idiots, and yet you can't spell the word disintegrate...typical euro moron

  • @chrisjana75 Ahah i dont need to see the car myself its pretty obvious its made of cheap plastics this car is power and it ends there, light years behind european supercars in technology and taste. + im sure you never spelled anything wrong youre perfect just like your economy!

  • @itssimpleiwinyoulose If european cars are light years ahead of the zr1, then name one for the same price that can compete with it..."it's pretty obvious its made of cheap plastics" and you admit you have never seen it????Yet another ignorant comment... do not believe everything Top Gear says and be a puppet, investigate yourself and form your own opinion. I'm not wasting ant more time on you, I remember reading "never argue with an idiot becuase they will bring you down to their level"

  • @chrisjana75 one that can compete... lets see.. does GTR come to mind? LOL. Not wasting any more time with you either and youre not as smart as you think.

  • @itssimpleiwinyoulose well your stupidity has got me to come back to say one more thing....the gtr come to mind?!?!??!? since when was the gtr a euro sports car???? last time I checked it was Japanese...do you know where Japan is??? just to let you know it is not in Europe...anyways though good luck to you, and make sure you finish school

  • Because stock Dodge Viper is close fast as Bugatti Veyron, and Corvette Z06 beats Dodge Viper.

  • Bugatti Veyron is very heavier, but quad turbochargers to help to life it up and push faster. All wheels drive too. 16 cylinders. Two engines. Stock Corvette Z06 is very, very, very closer fast as this Bugatti Veyron car. But, with only twin turbochargers... would beat this Bugatti Veyron badly. Corvette Z06 always wins and biggest and powerful V8 engine in the world. I wonder if they make V16 on Corvette. I am gonna be shock if it gonna happen. Would be very sick.

  • @ChrisChevyCamaro2000 What are you talking about a stock Corvette Z06 as fast as a Bugatti Veyron ? Not even a twin turbo Corvette would beat a Veyron. Infact even if there was a Corvette that could match the Veyrons top speed theres no way in hell it would last anything close to the lifespan of the Veyron not even the Ultimate Aero. Considering every single part and component is made to handle well over 1000 HP and was built not just to last a few years but up to 20 - 30 years of constant usage

  • If Corvette Z06 becomes a GTR car... Corvette Z06 GTR would beats Ford GTR, Bugatti Veyron GTR, Dodge Viper GTR, Nissan GTR, Supra GTR, and Porsche GTR. GTR is means full performance racing. Dumbass. Corvette Z06 at stock always and closer to all those GTR cars. Now, when I get Corvette Z06, I will make it a GTR car and beats all those cars who have twin or quad turbochargers. What a dumbass drivers putting turbochargers and thinks its faster than car. Come on. Turbos = pussy.

  • Z06 wins.

  • something fishy about that GTR

  • @danieldongsun Why is that?

  • @eg6gsr i dont know...but it kinda look weird

  • This right here proves to all you GTR jap crap loving rice babies, that AMERICA IS ON TOP!!! ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!! and just in case you dont believe me. please watch the video again, watch that awesome american dream just run away from your over priced Nissan P.O.S. RED WHITE AND BLUE FOREVER!!!!

  • @wikkittklown Anyone with half a brain knows this video is propoganda

  • 2012 gt-r with a "non piece of shit gear box" would rape ass here...for a little bit anyways, 404kw now too

  • Comment removed

  • "until we run out of pavement" lol

  • Comment removed

  • 2013 GT-R will defeat ZR1.

    400m=10 sec 6. (GT-R CVE, Mizuno's declaration)

    And GT-R does not use Semi-slick tires.

  • @unkeihokusai Cool story, Bro.

  • @unkeihokusai And neither does the ZR1 so get off wiki and learn something. The ZR1 already run a 10.6 bone stock so how is it defeated

    watch?v=r2EsAz2GCHo

    looks like some one has some homework to do

  • @eg6gsr

    or you can get a KB Cobra and OWN some of those cars.

  • @eg6gsr on a dragstrip it can do 10.6, on regular road the best it can do is 11.2

  • @ghhgyiufff And a GT-R can run a 10.8 on a dragstrip and 20.5 in dirt, point is the car can run 10.6 1/4 miles and its faster end of story.

  • @eg6gsr That 10.88 was never duplicated by any other magazine.So even the GTR isnt what it's fanboys are claiming it to be.Not trying to start a pissing match just pointing out facts.

  • @eg6gsr right...but i'm saying that the best Nissan run on tarmac is 10.8, the ZR1's best on tarmac is 11.2, no dragstrips. Dragstrips will always give better results as they are much stickier than normal tarmac. Btw I love both cars, i'm not bashing the vette.

  • @ghhgyiufff Answer this question is the ZR1 faster? The only thing a drag strip does for the ZR1 is allow for better traction something it will not do for the GT-R.

  • @ghhgyiufff Is the ZR1 faster than the GT-R yes or no. Case closed move on

  • @eg6gsr the vette is faster in a straight line, as long as it's not a really short race

  • @ghhgyiufff The Vette is also faster around a track as well, again the Vette is faster end of stroy move on

  • @olirules1 The ZR1 has the 9th fastest laptime and the SRT10 ACR is fourth, but the ones in front of it are unpractical cars that you have as good a chance of seeing As seeing a space shuttle..America is clearly dominate, especially when you factor in cost.

  • @MrBeatsGaming Drinking the Jeremy Clarkson cool aid

  • european cars shit on american cars

  • @MrBeatsGaming apparently not

  • Comment removed

  • Sweet I wanna see zr1 vs gtr alpha9 but great race all the same I really liked that there wasn't some stupid mustang there to show off its fake hood scoop and air flow vents

  • Now lets see what happens when you take them around a track. The results will be very different.

  • @olirules1 Yes.The ZR1 will be light years ahead of the competition...

    I know..I know..truth hurts :/

  • ill take the ZR1 heck even the Z06, or the GTR. the Ferrari and GT2 can suck it for the stuped high price tag.

  • Lol the GT-R driver screwed it.. noob

  • 4 cars of that calibur together and the only thing that comes to my mind is "track", not "drag race"

    even then, though, the zr1 should put up an excellent fight depending on the driver's skill level.

  • The 599 is ugly, and has 4 cylinders more than the ZR1, nice engineering by ferarri

  • @HondaFan0711 with out the Supercharger the ZR1 is nothing.

  • @excel4600c Without the supercharger, the ZR1 is a Z06. lol

  • @xiilazyalex wrong. the Z06 has the 7.0L(LS7) motor, while the ZR1 has the C6 6.2L (LS3) motor with heavy mods. the ZR1 motor is calld the LS9. thats just one difference but is the biggest.

  • @stage3dsm Indeed, I know that, but I was speaking of performance.

  • i wonder what the spec v would have done?

  • @M40A3xCoLoRxX i wonder what the GTR Alpha 12 would have done? Bahahaha

  • Wow, suprising lack of British kool aid drinkers arguing with the experts. Good thing.

  • Huh, i thought the GT2 would come on 2nd

  • the nissan gtr never stood a chance all wheel drive in a drag race and with only 440hp to the crank it was outclassed by longshot that sucks i like that car :(

  • Everyone thinks Nissan GTR or Bugatti Veyron or Ultimate Aero cars are the fastest cars in the world... HELL NO!!! Corvette Z06 is the fastest car in the world and faster than ZR1!!! Dumbasses!!! Bugatti Veyron has four expensive-est turbochargers and AWD train. And, Nissan GTR has special twin turbochargers and AWD train. Ultimate Aero is a custom race car. Not a street legal or street car. Z06 is the perfect-est car and engine ever GM made and it is largest and powerful V8 engine in the world.

  • @ChrisChevyCamaro2000 Umm you're joking right.

  • @ChrisChevyCamaro2000 how do you even no how to type words?

  • @ChrisChevyCamaro2000 Learn how to write before you form an opinion.

  • Very true! Corvette always win. But, Z06 the first winner in the world against all any of cars even Dodge Viper, Bugatti Veyron, Aero, and Nissan GTR. Sad.

  • @ChrisChevyCamaro2000 really dude i'm a ford fan but agree the vette is the shit. and it is showing the world the U.S aint no punks. But to go saying all that extra nonesense is laughable. The zo6 isn't fast than the zr1 for one, 2cd it has the biggest v8, but not the most powerful v8. all the cars above u mentioned will crush a z06, and the reason chevy brought the zr1. 3rd it doesn't matter how power is made and the power train, all that matters is the results. the best buy for the money yes!

  • where is the slr722 lol?

    

  • that bigger lie, this video is a trick the GTR beats them all they talk XD

  • @TheHjru Right because its impossible for the cars with more hp and less weight to beat the GT-R. Someone has never been in a drag race before is huge fanboy

  • GTR is a slow automatic Maxima. Fugly as fuck.

  • @RocketZ06801 slow? The new 2012 are supposed to do the 1/4 mile in like 11 flat!

  • GTRはカーブの多いコース向き、コルベットは直線番長、

    僕はコルベットの方が好き、

    6,2リッターV8スーパーチャージャー(笑)

  • コルベットヤバいww

  • Gotta have respect for all of those cars, but once again America proves it's just too powerful for the axis powers to beat :)

  • ( corvette zr1 638 HP ) ( ferrari 599 GTB 612 HP) ( nissan GTR 480 HP )  ( porsche GT2 512 HP) amazing machines BUT the nissan GTR is 158HP less than the ZR1 132HP less than 599 GTB and 32HP less than GT2

  • uhh no shit the gtr lost. with only 400hp.

  • id take the 599 over any of those cars... its not just about speed.. its class.. prestige.. and yeah, expansive financial potency..

  • @steelmysoul22 good luck maintaining and maintaining it. they are sooooo unreliable and cost sooo much to fix anything and then you have to do insurance which is ridiculously high. the corvette and the nissan are the easiest to live with and are reliable. the porsche is reliable but expensive. ferrari is probably the worst choice of the lot to own on a daily basis

  • @charliepioneer Hence you lease it new. If you can afford a $5000+ payment for a CAR, the insurance, gas, maintenance should be as easy as paying for coffee. You can even make a deal that services are pre-paid at a better price, or even convince the dealer to complement the services. Ferrari it is (for me of course)

  • i recently watched a british car magazine test a zr1 vs gt2 in a drag race and the gt2 won.... and here the zr1 beats everything in the field. I think the brits are trying to make the zr1 look bad because they are jealous they dont have anything which can match it.

  • @Kacz532 Yes, those Brits must really be rooting for the Germans. lol

  • @Kacz532 I think Noble M600 could match it...

  • @Kacz532 Caparo T1 or McLaren MP4-12C. try one of these

  • @Kacz532 hmmm. We can apply this same logic to this race and conclude that motortrend are bias... Fact is the gt2 and zr1 are very evenly matched in acceleration. Separated by almost nothing in 0-300km/h runs so any car to get an advantage off the line will most likely win.

  • @Kacz532 or us Americans are making the ZR1 look too good....it's hard to tell.

  • @ghhgyiufff different drivers different results

  • @ghhgyiufff definately that. The GTR is one of the fastest accelerating cars, and its beaten by a car which doesnt even have launch control? either the driver in it is shit or the launch control aint on

  • @oliroolz Its beaten by 3 cars that weigh less and have more hp, even with the Launch Control(which is on) its going to lose this race.

    Have you ever been in a drag race?

  • @ghhgyiufff what do you mean us lol you did fuck all to help make the corvette

  • @GameeGirl I mean American magazines like Motortrend, who seem to make US cars look too good, just like every other country that tests cars, like Sport Auto magazine in Germany, which gives german cars way too good track times

  • @Kacz532 because the mclaren F1 cant match a corvette....

  • I'd still take the R35 and dump 30k in parts and rape the contest

  • corners are the ZR1 Achilles heels.

  • @LovingPoontang69 Get an education about cars.

  • @LovingPoontang69 Says you. But everyone that lives in the real world that can look up lap times and is not stuck in the 1960's knows that the ZR1 is faster on a circuit track than all the cars in this video

  • Omg since corvette is plastic and just supercharged...why not make it carbon fiber and turbo charged like most of the supercars!!! That explains that corvette will be faster

  • @TheDaniel7310 Over 60% of its exterior is already Carbon Fiber....

  • Pure american muscle.

  • spanks !? = gay motortrend

  • hey u dumbfuck americans NOONE gives a shit about a straight line race

    BOORRIINNGG

  • @TheWillyowonka hey u dumbfuck retard NOONE gives a shit about you watching a drag race if you don't like them. haha cunt

  • It looks like they're holding back??

  • Imagine if it went up against the 2012 GT-R, lmao.

  • @IXScroungerXI Result would not change for the ZR1

  • @IXScroungerXI imagine if it went up agains't the 2012 zr-1 lmao. You can't compare and older model to a newer one just because you like the nissan more. Douchebag

  • @WhisperInTheWind9000 I don't like the Nissan any more than the Chevrolet in this situation. I like whoever wins. And I wasn't aware that there had been any changes in the '12 ZR-1. I know the '12 GT-R does 0-60 in 2.7 and a 10 second 1/4 mile, but if the ZR-1 does better, that's awesome. Get over the fact that I don't play favorites. Douchebag.

  • "...only one word comes to mind.....drag race"

    that's two words i think

  • @sisksh YEP last time i checked too.

  • @sisksh you are totally right. LOL

  • Not a zo6

  • Finally you got a zr1

  • It all comes down to the final. Whose is cheap? Fast? Drag? Laps? Passengers? Convenient? And maybe best ratings..? All at the same time?

    ..on a positive note..imagine gtR36, 6sp, & better tranny, bigger turbo, decimate all!

  • @chadb89 well..that's why gtr wins. Zr1 is fast but on lap time they are not that fast.

  • @stevephan1 This coming from the guy that can't read actual lap times. ZR1 is faster in drag, and lap times end of story

  • @stevephan1 WOW. Look up ZR1 Nürburgring. ZR1 is in the top 10.

  • Gtr fasttt!

  • put them all in a track and the "fast but no match" nissan gt-r will beat them all, no doubt about it.

  • @max2005b He will come second, behind the Porsche that is.

  • @max2005b Why don't you look it up....

  • @max2005b Put them all on a drag track as in give the Zr1 more traction also? yeah i bet that outcome would be alot different....Pfft

  • ZR1 Drag Race King? And i now wanna see bugatti veyron super sport vs suck ZR1

  • @barrensHUN $1.4 million vs $100k, and its less than a second faster, not quite an achievement for the Bugatti

  • Add some corners and the places switch 4,3,2,1.
