Say what you want but the ZR1 is a awesome car and who ever doubts that may just need to leave the car scene behind, plus it makes one of the best sounds in the world when you hit the gas...the sound of a s/c v8(mmmmm) and I don't care what your favorite brand of car is you know its a great sound
You call that a hot lap??? What's a matter, were you scared? That guy needs to go home!! I have seen you pussy-ass euro lovin asswipes test euro cars a lot harder, supposedly on your first runs! Car and Driver, MotorTrend and Automobile, you are like Senators, get paid off and you'll dirtbag anything America builds! You love Jap cars and Euro cars, and when you do find something wrong and say it, you then dismiss your statement following with basically an apology- praising something else.
beast of a car but damn do i hate that stupid plastic engine cover, why dont they chrome the supercharger or even use a nice gloss black paint on it and quit hiding the beauty under the hood
first they say american cars could never be as fast as european,we did that,then say they cant handle,we did that,and now everyone is ragging on the ZR1s INTERIOR? did motortrend bitch because there are no floor mats or AC in the enzo?NO because its euopean,and every car test company loves to jack off europe.well what about the GTRs cheap plastic skirts or insane warranty?no because japan was buliding a cheap world beating supercar,what do you think chevy did?people and their bullshit excuses.
I sold my beat to hell shit interior, cherry bomb exhaust 68 mustang coupe for 52K euro... they can't get enough American muscle! so I'll take my 52k euro... just under 100k and come back to buy a new ZR1... yey deployments!
actually, now GT-R is being hated by a lot of magazines. Check out the current issues, like Automobile. They ranked GT-R on the lowest, ZR1 on the second lowest. and of course, the winner was Porsche 911. The other magazine was like this, too.
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS of course the 911 got #1,it is the best sports car since the dawn of time.I mean theyre obviously the greatest thing ever to exist,thats why every car magazine says so right?I mean who cares if the 911 GT2 RS is 2X the price of the ZR1,that is quicker in a straight line,same top speed,brakes better,puts down more lateral grip,more power and torque,and better gas mileage.Its european,so its obviously better in ever way,regardless of stupid "numbers" or "statistics".
Ya...that is the trend :( you know the luxury mid size sedans? If you know the market share, 75% of it is dominated by BMW 5 series and Mercedes E Class ...... and then if you add up Audi A6 and Jaguar, it becomes....most likely 85%....and then...Cadillac CTS, Lexus GS and Infiniti M BARELY fit in this small 15% of share....
In my area, I see more Porsches and Lambos than Corvette ZR1.
@NakedSnakeBlGBOSS Just because you live in an area with twats with bad tatse in cars says nothing about the ZR1. Theres always a few dick holes on every car vid with useless stats. lol
@rockerdude29 Exactly! Not to mention my profile has tons of vids with all the so called super cars (even the GT2 and the GT3 Porsches) getting spanked by various Vettes. The ZR1 is a fire breathing beast and they can't stand it! xD The new ZR1's have launch control now. Game over!
@rockerdude29 wtf are you talking about. The Enzo does have air conditioning. If you're talking about the FXX, then yeah you're right but that's in another class. From what I understand, the GTR's warranty improved as well as its transmission problems from the first gen models. I don't dislike Corvettes, I just won't ever buy it. Most owners are punk bitches or old guys in their midlife crisis. I've sat in base models C6, C6Z06, and the ZR1... the interior is the same in all of them... come on.
@rockerdude29 I just came from a lotus car review...they LOVED it. I forget the name of the show, it's from Europe I think. The ONLY luxury the car had...was 2 power window switches. Wtf?
There's a couple of things I don't like about it. Firstly, here in the UK, it costs the equivalent of about $180,000 and there's no right hand drive option. Apart from that though it's a very good effort from GM when you think how far they've come in recent years.
people need to get there heads out of there asses when it comes to cars. they only believe what there told. Japanese cars are great but not that great. no greater then American cars. European cars are nice but they get old fast!. I know i will get heat for this oh well. to me American cars are nice well balanced cars. i have a 2001 Camaro daily drive and get 25 mpg and still looks nice very nice, to be honest it gets the same mpg that my bros Toyota corolla gets. And it handles way better.
The most important thing about a car is how fun it is, and with all its computers the GTR is not as fun as any car with similar performance. The GTR is a cheap, 4 seater that can also give you some fun, but it just cannot compete with full on sports cars. The z06, zr1 are both going to put a bigger smile on your face.
BMW's, Porsches, Vipers and shelby mustangs even if they are slower will be funner. Faster lap times does not equal more fun, and isn't fun the most important thing in a car?
JDM fanboys are so ridiculous, (thought I am a WRX owner) the ZR-1 has better brakes lots more power and is a much faster car then the GT-R on a dry surface. I think the GT-R is great, but it is not the be all and end all of cars. there are many car out there that do what the GT-R does, just not for the price, and the ZR1 is the only one that can do all that at that price point. just be glad that we have it cuz if it was a few months latter, we may not have had it.
Yeah I do , the Supra modified ? against a stock Z06 , The Z06 when modded will deliver the spanking of your life .. You kids with your highly modded Civics , beating a stock CAMARO thinking that you are all that , When the Camaro or the Z06 comes to play , you cry foul , GROW UP !!!!!!!!!
Go read a book and take a walk down memory lane. The (STOCK) MKIV Supra put a spanking on the C5 Z06 which is heavier than the vette. The same thing happend with the C4 Vettes it got spank by the (stock) 300ZXTT.
who cares about being a 10 th faster or not, at this level of performance, i would buy the Vette just for that sound at wide open throttle! thanks for the automotive porn
I find it soo Funny! The ZR1 hands down is the best car out! GTR? Please they gets killed by 03/04 Cobras with few mods. The GTR in not at the level of the ZR1, The ZR1 stock kills Ferraris and Lamborghini! Great Job on GM's part! oh GTR is SH!T thats a fact!
Th Zr1 is indeed the bang for the buck but look at the price difference between the GTR & the ZR1. It took 3 variations of corvette to take down the GTR. The C6 vette failed, the ZO6 failed to take down the GTR. Then GM move up to the ZR1.
Maybe you forgot what happend back when Nissan introduced the 300ZXTT(Z32) the vette at that time got spank. GM back then introduced the ZR1 to avoid the humiliation just like whats happening today. Good Job for GM indeed it took different types of vette.
GM didnt make the C6 or the Z06 4 the GTR! GM made ZR1 right after GTR was making a fool out of everyone! But they had some goals to make while beating the GTR, and what a great job
GTR didn't make a fool out of everyone. It fact it made a statement. It's is heavier than the Vettes including the ZR1, Has less HP than the ZR1& ZO6, Has smaller displacement engine than the Vettes including the ZR1 and yet manage to destroy some of the Top Exotics and American Icons.
Dejavu anyone!!! Like I said before remember when the 300ZXTT(Z32) came to US Shores. The same thing happend it destroyed the American Icons with it's 3.0L twinturbo V6.
And America came back with the ZR1 and destroyed the GTR! I cant relax just yet because the Vspec is still left, but in my opinion just clicking traction control off and nothing else and you will smoking anything in your path is fuckin amazing
You debate your points as if the Nissan engineers came up with this marvelous new machine when in fact, the GTR was modeled VERY CLOSELY to a Prosche 911 turbo! The GTR is more closely matched to the 911. In fact, Porsche GT2 was the car that was variated to take down the GTR. They simply put more efficient turbos in the 911, and yes it took the GTR down, even if the price is unaffordable. Your GTR is NOT a unique machine in itself. Sorry!
Infact Nissan did make the GTR marvelous until the ZR1 came to town. Just look at the GTR specs it's heavy as hell & has a smaller displacement engine than all the Vettes, and yet was able to take down some of the Exotic cars with twice the price.
Whats unique to you? A big displacement V8 engine with a supercharger wow that's something marvelous. Once the Vspec GTR is out what will they do to the vette put a big block in it then slap in a supercharger.
Ok. How many generations has the same motor evolved with the corvette motor? Its simple & effective, and it was unique upon its original inception indeed! No DOHC, just simple push-rods & leaf springs baby! You still didnt comment on the fact that instead of using a diff approach, Nissan used a 3.6 bi-turbo and used the porsche as its benchmark. Why not take a clean sheet of paper and engineer a porsche killer from the ground up? Porsche jus put better a turbo in GT2 and re-claim status!
I'll give you a chance to do some research on the early ZR1 vettes before you embarras yourself. You will be surprise what kind of engine they use.
GTR was engineered to be a contender against the Porsche & other exotics including the vettes. The C6 & the C6 ZO6 with it's enormous V8 failed to take down the GTR. Not bad for a car that weighs close to 4,0000Lbs with a 3.6L engine.
It is commonly known that Lotus designed the early '90s ZR1 model. This ZR1 is in no form a descendant of that car, so I wont embarrass myself. You ricers need to get over yourselves! The C6 debuted in '05, the C6-Z06 debuted in '06. Please explain how they aimed for GTR?? The Z06 really competes with the VIper, and to a lessor extent, 911 turbo.
Again, the GTR is a nice car, but the motor & drivetrain concepts are ALL PORSCHE 911! The 911 has always been able to compete with the Lamborghini SV's, Viper GTS's, and Ferrari 355-60 Spiders of the world with that concept. Its nothing new, get over it!
The GTR is AWD Porsche is not. It's a different concept when it comes to driveterain. There something probably you don't know about the GTR even though it's a new design it has it's roots from the Skylines Inlines 6 engines which was designed to compete against the Exotics for 1/4 of it's price.
Your saying that a Monster V8 engine witha supercharger in the ZR1 is a new concept. You don't know anything about the ZR1's history. The early ZR1 uses a "DOHC" wow imagine that.
"The GTR is AWD Porsche is not" SINCE WHEN? Porsche 911 turbos, I believe with the 993 waletale have always used awd! Thats how they've always managed 1/4 mile times similar to the Italian exotics! And here you are being condescending like everyone else are the idiots? The ZR1 motor is a C6 with a supercharger. That means that it has the traditional motor, not the Lotus designed one. No need 4 a sophisticated motor, just a 60's approach, thats it! Your ricer has its roots in Germany! Sorry!
I reffering to Porches in general not all of them are AWD only specific ones. You claimed that the Vettes have always used the old pushrod design. In fact the early ZR1 have used "DOHC" motors.
Iam more impressed of the 03-04 Cobra engine "DOHC" all forged able to handle 1000+HP all "stock" motor and thats with a smaller displacement engine than the MONSTER V8 ZR1 engine.
"failed to take down the gtr." It sounds like you are saying that the c6 and the Z06 were supposed to be made to attempt to take it down. They were made Before the GTR was.
So your saying that GM made the ZR1 which "almost" double the HP of the GTR, weighs less, cost more & have a big V8 with supercharger to take down a 3.6L turbo V6 of the GTR.
Thats doesn't Impress me. What will GM do when the V-spec GTR made it here. Will they put a big block in the vette then supercharged it.
Like I said before Im more impressed of the 03-04 Cobra 4.6L V8 DOHC that can handle 1200RWHP "STOCK ENGINE" can your mighty "ZR1 do that" don't think so.
It's not double the HP, if it was it would be 960 hp. The GTR is a twin turbo. Actually the corvette z06's motor (LS7) can make 1200+ hp if modified, and is N/A. The new LS7 is probably the best N/A v8 engine around. It really just depends on what type of car you like. They're both great cars.
It did not say double. I said "almost" double. The LS7 still has nothing on the 4.6L DOHC (03-04Cobra engine). Your claiming that an LS7 can Handle 1200+HP if modified. Of course if it's "MODIFIED" but can it handle 1200RWHP "STOCK ENGINE" like the Cobra. Im not impressed with the ZR1especially with the price. If it was under 100K then yes I'm very impressed.
To tell you the truth I'm not a big fan of the GTR but I'm a fan of Skyline R32,33 & 34. The GTR V-spec is a limited edition so I don't think we gonna be seing it everyday on the road. They are only making a handfull. NISSAN can also afford to make this gamble because they are not the one who needs government help.
Your a dumbass the cobra come with a supercharger and your saying if you put twin terbos on it you can get 1200hp thats modifing it you moron. I would give a stock cobra motor with 1200hp 20 miles before it was tost even if it does have forged parts.
If you read my last post. I said I'm not a big fan of the GTR but I give credit to it being the Jap import that was able to take the Vettes head on. Just like it's cousin the 300ZXTT(Z32).
Im not impressed of the ZR1 because of the price and I would rather have the 03-04Cobra.
lol the 03-04 cobra engine will not last more then 10-30 miles at 1200rwhp with the "stock engine" genius. and that Ls9 is wayy stronger then that 4.6 ever will be.
There is a thing called boost controller for the turbocharge 03-04 Cobra. It will handle 1200RWHP with race gas twin turbo setup on a stock engine. Why don't you do some research on the Hellion & Hellraiser 03-04Cobras before you embarras yourself.
lol little kid, that STOCK 03 cobra motor was never designed to handle 1200rwhp and is a ticking time bomb. If you truly believe that the engine will last at that power level, You are a total moron. and by the way, it takes a HELL of alot more then a "boost controller" to get 1200rwhp......
The 03-04 DOHC Cobra engine is all "FORGED". You need to do some research. Checkout Hellion & Hellraiser Cobras. I never said you only need a boost controller to get 1200RWHP. You need reading comprehension.
idk about 1200whp BUT that 03-04 cobra motor is very strong, and has proven to handle over 700whp with ease.I It does indeed have forged internals and an iron block. But the ZR-1 is in another league in terms of handeling and refinement.
I own a '04 Terminator & there's no way to run 1200hp on pump gas. The rest of the car is weak as well. I did the pulley, intake, headers & exhaust. Stock my car made 353hp @ the wheels. I now have about 480hp @ the wheels. But the clutch, Flywheel, driveshaft, half shafts, differential, front K frame, frame connectors, radiator & I forget what else needed replacing to make this work reliably.
I did not says it can make that 1200HP on pump gas. Whoever said so is full of it. I said "RACE GAS" it will handle 1200HP on stock engine. I am only talikng about the "ENGINE" of the 03-04 Cobra can handle 1200HP stock. It's common sense that if you make 1000+HP you will need stronger parts.
thats funny cause i know many stock engines with some extra boost, no where near 1200 hp and there heads are lifting and there blowing cylinder head gaskets more than once....
so 1200 theres some def modifications to hold those cylinder pressures needed to make 1200 on whatever gas you want.....
The funny part is you. I've been saying this for sometime now. The MUSCLE MUSTANG AND FAST FORD have an article on the this topic.
They have a 03-04 cobra stock unopened engine with two turbos on a race gas made 1200hp. The stock 03-04 Cobra engine is "ALL FORGED" this is the reason it was able to handle that horsepower.
News Flash for you the MKIVTT SUPRA 2jzgtte engine can handle1000HP on a stock short block. Have you been living under a rock?
Show me a car that came out from the factory that can handle 1200HP stock. This was on a high boost with race gas. It made 800HP on low boost.
The only car that came close is the MKIVTT Supra which made 1000HP on stock block.
I'm not hating on the ZR1 the only part that I don't get is the price. It's way overprice. You can get a C6 Z06 to outperform it with a few bolt on performance parts half the price of the ZR1.
The ZR1 is catered to car collectors in my opinion.
tell me one other car remotely close to the level of performance that the ZR1 offers WITHOUT modification for anywhere close to its price? what? a Zonda? maybe a Lambo? Ferrari? the only car that comes to mind would be the GTR and that was clearly beat by the ZR1
The ZR1 was been proven superior to the GTR in every performance aspect. remember the results when Porsche tested the GTR it could run anywhere remotely close to its claimed performance
Thats what it's made for the ZR1 was made to outperform the GTR and other contenders of it's price range. But before you start celebrating the GTR holds it's own. The GTR is a very heavy car and it has less horsepower than the ZR1 but it was able to take down it's contenders.
Like I said before I would rather have the 03-04Cobra or the C6 ZO6.
The zr1 formaly know as the blue devil was in the making before they GTR came out. Why dont you do some reasearch before you come on youtube and act like you know every thing.
are u retarded? lol 8 secs on the Nurburgring is not "barley" beating anything. That's getting toasted. Plus, the GTR has AWD yet still it can barely stick with the ZR1 to 60...after that its a runaway.
The GTR weighs hundreds of lbs. more has a twin turbo V6 & hundreds of horsepower less than a supercharged monstrous V8 on a very light body ZR1.
What will they put on the vette next a 10liter supercharged V8 on a plastic body. The GTR demolish the C6, & the C6 ZO6 which weigh less and has a monstrous V8.
Walk back to memory lane & findout how the NISSAN 300ZXTT put a beating on the vettes when it came to the US. It weighs more has a twin turbo V6 & put a beating on the Vettes. DEJAVU!!
people have been putting out more power than what fatory has claimed plus good torque with AWD helps a lot example GMC Syclone 280hp 350tq still did 0-60 around 4.5 seconds
The C5 Z06 cameout years after the 300ZXTT put a beating on the Vettes. By the time the C5 Z06 cameout the MKIVTT Supra put a beating on that one also.
Do you see a pattern here? The GTR put a beatdown on the C6 - C6 Z06 and then the ZR1 cameout.
The C6 Z06 weighs 600lbs. less than the GTR and has 20 more hp in your caculation. Yet it got beat by a fat heavy GTR.
I would rather have the 03-04 Cobra than the overpriced ZR1.
nothing about the ZR1 is overpriced. We are talking production cars, not modded. NO other car out or ever made can put down anything even remotely close to the ZR1's numbers that is anywhere near its price range. And yeah ur right, i wouldnt buy it either. imma gearhead and id rather by a Z51 and mod it myself.
And i dont know where u are coming up with this, but stock for stock, a 300ZXTT with 300hp is not gonna beat a C5 Vette with 350hp in the base model....maybe to 50 or 60mph..lol
Who said anything about 300ZXTT is gonna beat a C5 Vette. Maybe your a little confuse. When the 300ZXTT cameout the C4 vette was the one that got the beat down.
Then MKIV Supra was the one who put the beat down on the C5 Vette.
Then the GTR putting the beatdown on the C6-C6 ZO6. Dejavu!!!
Oh ok yeah ur right i misunderstood what u said. In that respect, yeah it is dejavu. But i would still rather take the vette. Imma muscle guy. i like boosted V6's too, but id much rather have a V8, especially LS series. LT1 and LT4 arent bad, but nothing throws it down like the LS's
First of all the zr1 is not overpriced it's the bargin of the century nothing the same price as the zr1 is combine's it's practical evryday use with ultimate track performance and it sound's great it's look's great and best of all handle's so well that it can corner with no body roll or skidding and they didnt ruin it with all this technology that make's cars boreing and feel incontrol the zr1 will just outperform the gt-r at evrything and it beat's car's that are 5 time's the price of it.
If you talking about all the ZR1. You mean when it first cameout in the early 90's it got spank by the MKIV Supra which is heavier than the ZR1 those days.
The New Zr1 better beat the GT-R thats why they made it after the GT-R spank the rest of the Vettes. After all the GT-R is way heavier than the vettes and yet was able to outperform the C6-C6 Z06.
maybe you've been living under the rock lately. I've been talking about 03-04 Cobras & Supras that can handle 1000Hp on stock engines with high boost levels and race gas.
The hennessey and Linginfelter vettes are still using the Stock blocks like i said smart guy. Do some research. Ever heard of STS Turbo? They have a C6 ZO6TT with over 700whp on 4-5psi. Everything besides the injectors and tune are stock.
do what math? that GM went bankrupt? Who cares. You act like the company is done for. All that means is that they have to concentrate more on fewer cars rather than platform sharing like they used to. Its the best thing that could have happend to them actually. Believe all that political BS if you want, but GM isnt going anywhere but up buddy
i want one so bad!!!! the car is not that far out of reach. feels good to have a dream car i might be able to get. unlike so many other cars that will only be in YOUR dreams. think the european nation will bring their over priced buckets down? they should!
he may not be an idiot...but he sure didnt thinkg the gt500 threw....to fucking heavy....its a boat on the track...id be better off taking corners in my gtp...not to mention its not fast...its 0-60 is 5.0....THE NEW MUSTANG GT'S DO IT IN 4.9 NO SUPRECHARGERS!...waste of money...hands down chevy is in it to win it...jap cars get the fuck out of the way
I wish Ford would go back to the 99-04 mustangs with the same power as the new ones or maybe make a more sleek style mustang. They should be done with the new old style mustangs and move on by now.
Carrol Shelby is an idiot. An F1 car revs to 18000rpm, if it is making 900hp, it will only have 262ftlb of torque at that point. And we all know how slow they are.
F1 cars are only designed to be used for what, 500 miles, then they need to be rebuilt? you can't take that technology on the street. That's why cars with higher torque and big blocks last longer and take more abuse over longer periods of time.
There are of course drawbacks to making engines in different ways. But the principle of torque and power remain solid.
If you rev an engine twice as hard, you only have to make half the torque (other things like the curve being equal), then gear it at 2:1 (relatively), the power of both engines will be the same and the cars will go exactly as fast as each other.
gshmkrv74 with all do respect you couldn't be mmore wrong....1st. any and all turbos have a LAGG, it just depends on how much, yes even the Porsche too....2nd. to quote my friend Carrol Shelby "Horsepower sells cars, Torque WINS races." Thank you.
I'm with Cuss on that one. F1 cars have little torque, in fact if you drive one below 5000 RPMs it could stall easily. You gotta keep them screaming because they rely on high reving HP and light weight. High torque engines are typically heavy and don't like to rev high, and they are old school technology. Finally GM acknowledged this and put a blower on. High torque is only needed to pull trailers and tree stumps. Get a smaller, lighter engine, boost it and rev the shit out of it FTW!
sick. but $99,9999 ? Ummm it toasts the Italian supercars and burns Porsche into the ground. I take it....now? Ohhhh that's the problem, the Americans aren't making many of these Corvettes. Booooo....
GM invented the ride control and used it on the Corvette - then Ferrari bought this technology from GM. The Vette was the first vehicle to get magnetic ride control.
Youd be amazed what necessity can do..was required this huge crysis to induce Chevrolet to finnaly make a good cornering car and a V8 with the ammount of power that a V8 should have, 400hp was not that much back in the 60's, wonder why they thought it would be today, you dont need a V8 to make that much reliably anymore, american car makers were standing still in time thinking world was spinning around them.
you may not need a v8 to produce HP but there's a little thing called torque that is nice to have. you know, the ability to exert rotational force on an axis, i.e. the wheels. this vette has the best exhaust note i've heard. Higher pitch than the 7.0L in the Z06, but not totally weedwacker like ferrari.
Well, thats all because of the torque? if you want it soo much, go get a diesel.
Also, torque doesnt win races, it does help alot while driving like a granny around the city at 2k rpm, also, modern computer managed engines and modern turbos make a much more daily friendly sports car, with enough torque.
Well... Better Handling. Better Brakes. A Traction Control System. & Faster 0-60 mph. and A Faster Top Speed. Now I Love Both The ZR1 And The SRT10. There Both Badass Awesome Cars... Both Will Match or Beat A Nissan GTR ( I Also Love That Car Too... ) Oh One More Thing. America - Fuck Yeah!

If you know the market share, 75% of it is dominated by BMW 5 series and Mercedes E Class ...... and then if you add up Audi A6 and Jaguar, it becomes....most likely 85%....and then...Cadillac CTS, Lexus GS and Infiniti M BARELY fit in this small 15% of share....
In my area, I see more Porsches and Lambos than Corvette ZR1.
This is just, sad, sad truth....

@rockerdude29 Exactly! Not to mention my profile has tons of vids with all the so called super cars (even the GT2 and the GT3 Porsches) getting spanked by various Vettes. The ZR1 is a fire breathing beast and they can't stand it! xD The new ZR1's have launch control now. Game over!
EL345150 1 year ago
@rockerdude29 wtf are you talking about. The Enzo does have air conditioning. If you're talking about the FXX, then yeah you're right but that's in another class. From what I understand, the GTR's warranty improved as well as its transmission problems from the first gen models. I don't dislike Corvettes, I just won't ever buy it. Most owners are punk bitches or old guys in their midlife crisis. I've sat in base models C6, C6Z06, and the ZR1... the interior is the same in all of them... come on.

The most important thing about a car is how fun it is, and with all its computers the GTR is not as fun as any car with similar performance. The GTR is a cheap, 4 seater that can also give you some fun, but it just cannot compete with full on sports cars. The z06, zr1 are both going to put a bigger smile on your face.
BMW's, Porsches, Vipers and shelby mustangs even if they are slower will be funner. Faster lap times does not equal more fun, and isn't fun the most important thing in a car?

JDM fanboys are so ridiculous, (thought I am a WRX owner) the ZR-1 has better brakes lots more power and is a much faster car then the GT-R on a dry surface. I think the GT-R is great, but it is not the be all and end all of cars. there are many car out there that do what the GT-R does, just not for the price, and the ZR1 is the only one that can do all that at that price point. just be glad that we have it cuz if it was a few months latter, we may not have had it.

illicitfords 2 years ago
Th Zr1 is indeed the bang for the buck but look at the price difference between the GTR & the ZR1. It took 3 variations of corvette to take down the GTR. The C6 vette failed, the ZO6 failed to take down the GTR. Then GM move up to the ZR1.
Maybe you forgot what happend back when Nissan introduced the 300ZXTT(Z32) the vette at that time got spank. GM back then introduced the ZR1 to avoid the humiliation just like whats happening today. Good Job for GM indeed it took different types of vette.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
GM didnt make the C6 or the Z06 4 the GTR! GM made ZR1 right after GTR was making a fool out of everyone! But they had some goals to make while beating the GTR, and what a great job
gotchevypower3 2 years ago
GTR didn't make a fool out of everyone. It fact it made a statement. It's is heavier than the Vettes including the ZR1, Has less HP than the ZR1& ZO6, Has smaller displacement engine than the Vettes including the ZR1 and yet manage to destroy some of the Top Exotics and American Icons.
Dejavu anyone!!! Like I said before remember when the 300ZXTT(Z32) came to US Shores. The same thing happend it destroyed the American Icons with it's 3.0L twinturbo V6.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
And America came back with the ZR1 and destroyed the GTR! I cant relax just yet because the Vspec is still left, but in my opinion just clicking traction control off and nothing else and you will smoking anything in your path is fuckin amazing
gotchevypower3 2 years ago
And come on, a smaller displacement, that GTR has a turbo, no wait two turbos dam!
gotchevypower3 2 years ago
You debate your points as if the Nissan engineers came up with this marvelous new machine when in fact, the GTR was modeled VERY CLOSELY to a Prosche 911 turbo! The GTR is more closely matched to the 911. In fact, Porsche GT2 was the car that was variated to take down the GTR. They simply put more efficient turbos in the 911, and yes it took the GTR down, even if the price is unaffordable. Your GTR is NOT a unique machine in itself. Sorry!
rkfromchi 2 years ago
Infact Nissan did make the GTR marvelous until the ZR1 came to town. Just look at the GTR specs it's heavy as hell & has a smaller displacement engine than all the Vettes, and yet was able to take down some of the Exotic cars with twice the price.
Whats unique to you? A big displacement V8 engine with a supercharger wow that's something marvelous. Once the Vspec GTR is out what will they do to the vette put a big block in it then slap in a supercharger.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
Ok. How many generations has the same motor evolved with the corvette motor? Its simple & effective, and it was unique upon its original inception indeed! No DOHC, just simple push-rods & leaf springs baby! You still didnt comment on the fact that instead of using a diff approach, Nissan used a 3.6 bi-turbo and used the porsche as its benchmark. Why not take a clean sheet of paper and engineer a porsche killer from the ground up? Porsche jus put better a turbo in GT2 and re-claim status!
rkfromchi 2 years ago
I'll give you a chance to do some research on the early ZR1 vettes before you embarras yourself. You will be surprise what kind of engine they use.
GTR was engineered to be a contender against the Porsche & other exotics including the vettes. The C6 & the C6 ZO6 with it's enormous V8 failed to take down the GTR. Not bad for a car that weighs close to 4,0000Lbs with a 3.6L engine.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
It is commonly known that Lotus designed the early '90s ZR1 model. This ZR1 is in no form a descendant of that car, so I wont embarrass myself. You ricers need to get over yourselves! The C6 debuted in '05, the C6-Z06 debuted in '06. Please explain how they aimed for GTR?? The Z06 really competes with the VIper, and to a lessor extent, 911 turbo.
rkfromchi 2 years ago
Again, the GTR is a nice car, but the motor & drivetrain concepts are ALL PORSCHE 911! The 911 has always been able to compete with the Lamborghini SV's, Viper GTS's, and Ferrari 355-60 Spiders of the world with that concept. Its nothing new, get over it!
rkfromchi 2 years ago
The GTR is AWD Porsche is not. It's a different concept when it comes to driveterain. There something probably you don't know about the GTR even though it's a new design it has it's roots from the Skylines Inlines 6 engines which was designed to compete against the Exotics for 1/4 of it's price.
Your saying that a Monster V8 engine witha supercharger in the ZR1 is a new concept. You don't know anything about the ZR1's history. The early ZR1 uses a "DOHC" wow imagine that.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
"The GTR is AWD Porsche is not" SINCE WHEN? Porsche 911 turbos, I believe with the 993 waletale have always used awd! Thats how they've always managed 1/4 mile times similar to the Italian exotics! And here you are being condescending like everyone else are the idiots? The ZR1 motor is a C6 with a supercharger. That means that it has the traditional motor, not the Lotus designed one. No need 4 a sophisticated motor, just a 60's approach, thats it! Your ricer has its roots in Germany! Sorry!
rkfromchi 2 years ago
I reffering to Porches in general not all of them are AWD only specific ones. You claimed that the Vettes have always used the old pushrod design. In fact the early ZR1 have used "DOHC" motors.
Iam more impressed of the 03-04 Cobra engine "DOHC" all forged able to handle 1000+HP all "stock" motor and thats with a smaller displacement engine than the MONSTER V8 ZR1 engine.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
"failed to take down the gtr." It sounds like you are saying that the c6 and the Z06 were supposed to be made to attempt to take it down. They were made Before the GTR was.
Nick1944 2 years ago
So your saying that GM made the ZR1 which "almost" double the HP of the GTR, weighs less, cost more & have a big V8 with supercharger to take down a 3.6L turbo V6 of the GTR.
Thats doesn't Impress me. What will GM do when the V-spec GTR made it here. Will they put a big block in the vette then supercharged it.
Like I said before Im more impressed of the 03-04 Cobra 4.6L V8 DOHC that can handle 1200RWHP "STOCK ENGINE" can your mighty "ZR1 do that" don't think so.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
It's not double the HP, if it was it would be 960 hp. The GTR is a twin turbo. Actually the corvette z06's motor (LS7) can make 1200+ hp if modified, and is N/A. The new LS7 is probably the best N/A v8 engine around. It really just depends on what type of car you like. They're both great cars.
Nick1944 2 years ago
It did not say double. I said "almost" double. The LS7 still has nothing on the 4.6L DOHC (03-04Cobra engine). Your claiming that an LS7 can Handle 1200+HP if modified. Of course if it's "MODIFIED" but can it handle 1200RWHP "STOCK ENGINE" like the Cobra. Im not impressed with the ZR1especially with the price. If it was under 100K then yes I'm very impressed.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
Well the V-spec better be a LOT better than the ZR1 because it's going to cost $160K. Mistake on nissan's part IMO.
Nick1944 2 years ago
To tell you the truth I'm not a big fan of the GTR but I'm a fan of Skyline R32,33 & 34. The GTR V-spec is a limited edition so I don't think we gonna be seing it everyday on the road. They are only making a handfull. NISSAN can also afford to make this gamble because they are not the one who needs government help.

Fuku2hoe 2 years ago
There is a thing called boost controller for the turbocharge 03-04 Cobra. It will handle 1200RWHP with race gas twin turbo setup on a stock engine. Why don't you do some research on the Hellion & Hellraiser 03-04Cobras before you embarras yourself.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
lol little kid, that STOCK 03 cobra motor was never designed to handle 1200rwhp and is a ticking time bomb. If you truly believe that the engine will last at that power level, You are a total moron. and by the way, it takes a HELL of alot more then a "boost controller" to get 1200rwhp......
Fuku2hoe 2 years ago
The 03-04 DOHC Cobra engine is all "FORGED". You need to do some research. Checkout Hellion & Hellraiser Cobras. I never said you only need a boost controller to get 1200RWHP. You need reading comprehension.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
idk about 1200whp BUT that 03-04 cobra motor is very strong, and has proven to handle over 700whp with ease.I It does indeed have forged internals and an iron block. But the ZR-1 is in another league in terms of handeling and refinement.
Ej205scoob 2 years ago
I own a '04 Terminator & there's no way to run 1200hp on pump gas. The rest of the car is weak as well. I did the pulley, intake, headers & exhaust. Stock my car made 353hp @ the wheels. I now have about 480hp @ the wheels. But the clutch, Flywheel, driveshaft, half shafts, differential, front K frame, frame connectors, radiator & I forget what else needed replacing to make this work reliably.
KevinFL 2 years ago
I did not says it can make that 1200HP on pump gas. Whoever said so is full of it. I said "RACE GAS" it will handle 1200HP on stock engine. I am only talikng about the "ENGINE" of the 03-04 Cobra can handle 1200HP stock. It's common sense that if you make 1000+HP you will need stronger parts.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
thats funny cause i know many stock engines with some extra boost, no where near 1200 hp and there heads are lifting and there blowing cylinder head gaskets more than once....
so 1200 theres some def modifications to hold those cylinder pressures needed to make 1200 on whatever gas you want.....
bigman95impala 2 years ago
The funny part is you. I've been saying this for sometime now. The MUSCLE MUSTANG AND FAST FORD have an article on the this topic.
They have a 03-04 cobra stock unopened engine with two turbos on a race gas made 1200hp. The stock 03-04 Cobra engine is "ALL FORGED" this is the reason it was able to handle that horsepower.
News Flash for you the MKIVTT SUPRA 2jzgtte engine can handle1000HP on a stock short block. Have you been living under a rock?
quickzilver333 2 years ago
yes it made 1200 hp thats so amazing but many engines can do it then blow up in a month.....
and yes it could prob make it a few times down the track destroying everything else on the vehicle that cannot handle that power..
but unlike the zr1 which u can drive every single day rippin up most any car out there then go to the track and run almost 10s all day
the mustang would blow up and prob last maybe 3,000k tops, even with that forged internals you have been yapping about
bigman95impala 2 years ago
Show me a car that came out from the factory that can handle 1200HP stock. This was on a high boost with race gas. It made 800HP on low boost.
The only car that came close is the MKIVTT Supra which made 1000HP on stock block.
I'm not hating on the ZR1 the only part that I don't get is the price. It's way overprice. You can get a C6 Z06 to outperform it with a few bolt on performance parts half the price of the ZR1.
The ZR1 is catered to car collectors in my opinion.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
tell me one other car remotely close to the level of performance that the ZR1 offers WITHOUT modification for anywhere close to its price? what? a Zonda? maybe a Lambo? Ferrari? the only car that comes to mind would be the GTR and that was clearly beat by the ZR1
Crusher103 2 years ago
I would rather have the C6 Z06. The ZR1 is more of a collectors car. The ZR1 barely beat the GTR which is a very heavy car compared to the ZR1.

Thats what it's made for the ZR1 was made to outperform the GTR and other contenders of it's price range. But before you start celebrating the GTR holds it's own. The GTR is a very heavy car and it has less horsepower than the ZR1 but it was able to take down it's contenders.
Like I said before I would rather have the 03-04Cobra or the C6 ZO6.

mtooshort20 2 years ago
The GTR weighs hundreds of lbs. more has a twin turbo V6 & hundreds of horsepower less than a supercharged monstrous V8 on a very light body ZR1.
What will they put on the vette next a 10liter supercharged V8 on a plastic body. The GTR demolish the C6, & the C6 ZO6 which weigh less and has a monstrous V8.
Walk back to memory lane & findout how the NISSAN 300ZXTT put a beating on the vettes when it came to the US. It weighs more has a twin turbo V6 & put a beating on the Vettes. DEJAVU!!
quickzilver333 2 years ago
everyone knows that the C4 vettes are crap and only made 350hp. The C5 Z06 was never beaten by a crappy 300ZX.
And by the way if u didnt know, larger displacement means more torque as a sacrifice for more hp.
The C6 ZO6 was RWD, 505hp, and 3200lbs. the GTR is AWD, 485hp, TT, and 3800lbs. With AWD, it better beat a RWD car with only 20 more hp.
your argument is pointless buddy
mtooshort20 2 years ago
Nissan under rated the power of there car
people have been putting out more power than what fatory has claimed plus good torque with AWD helps a lot example GMC Syclone 280hp 350tq still did 0-60 around 4.5 seconds
zman6033 2 years ago
GM did the same thing with the LS1 engines it was underated. It was putting down more HP than they advertised.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
The C5 Z06 cameout years after the 300ZXTT put a beating on the Vettes. By the time the C5 Z06 cameout the MKIVTT Supra put a beating on that one also.
Do you see a pattern here? The GTR put a beatdown on the C6 - C6 Z06 and then the ZR1 cameout.
The C6 Z06 weighs 600lbs. less than the GTR and has 20 more hp in your caculation. Yet it got beat by a fat heavy GTR.
I would rather have the 03-04 Cobra than the overpriced ZR1.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
nothing about the ZR1 is overpriced. We are talking production cars, not modded. NO other car out or ever made can put down anything even remotely close to the ZR1's numbers that is anywhere near its price range. And yeah ur right, i wouldnt buy it either. imma gearhead and id rather by a Z51 and mod it myself.
And i dont know where u are coming up with this, but stock for stock, a 300ZXTT with 300hp is not gonna beat a C5 Vette with 350hp in the base model....maybe to 50 or 60mph..lol
mtooshort20 2 years ago 2
Who said anything about 300ZXTT is gonna beat a C5 Vette. Maybe your a little confuse. When the 300ZXTT cameout the C4 vette was the one that got the beat down.
Then MKIV Supra was the one who put the beat down on the C5 Vette.
Then the GTR putting the beatdown on the C6-C6 ZO6. Dejavu!!!
quickzilver333 2 years ago
Oh ok yeah ur right i misunderstood what u said. In that respect, yeah it is dejavu. But i would still rather take the vette. Imma muscle guy. i like boosted V6's too, but id much rather have a V8, especially LS series. LT1 and LT4 arent bad, but nothing throws it down like the LS's
mtooshort20 2 years ago
First of all the zr1 is not overpriced it's the bargin of the century nothing the same price as the zr1 is combine's it's practical evryday use with ultimate track performance and it sound's great it's look's great and best of all handle's so well that it can corner with no body roll or skidding and they didnt ruin it with all this technology that make's cars boreing and feel incontrol the zr1 will just outperform the gt-r at evrything and it beat's car's that are 5 time's the price of it.
Towelman20 2 years ago
If you talking about all the ZR1. You mean when it first cameout in the early 90's it got spank by the MKIV Supra which is heavier than the ZR1 those days.
The New Zr1 better beat the GT-R thats why they made it after the GT-R spank the rest of the Vettes. After all the GT-R is way heavier than the vettes and yet was able to outperform the C6-C6 Z06.

The vettes coming out of the factory doesn't have forged internals unlike the 03-04Cobra & the MKIVTT Supra 2JZGTTE.

The hennessey and Linginfelter vettes are still using the Stock blocks like i said smart guy. Do some research. Ever heard of STS Turbo? They have a C6 ZO6TT with over 700whp on 4-5psi. Everything besides the injectors and tune are stock.

Do the Math.
quickzilver333 2 years ago
do what math? that GM went bankrupt? Who cares. You act like the company is done for. All that means is that they have to concentrate more on fewer cars rather than platform sharing like they used to. Its the best thing that could have happend to them actually. Believe all that political BS if you want, but GM isnt going anywhere but up buddy

They wouldn't have made the engine in the first place if they knew that it would rip itself apart, you rere.

i want one so bad!!!! the car is not that far out of reach. feels good to have a dream car i might be able to get. unlike so many other cars that will only be in YOUR dreams. think the european nation will bring their over priced buckets down? they should!

he may not be an idiot...but he sure didnt thinkg the gt500 threw....to fucking heavy....its a boat on the track...id be better off taking corners in my gtp...not to mention its not fast...its 0-60 is 5.0....THE NEW MUSTANG GT'S DO IT IN 4.9 NO SUPRECHARGERS!...waste of money...hands down chevy is in it to win it...jap cars get the fuck out of the way

I wish Ford would go back to the 99-04 mustangs with the same power as the new ones or maybe make a more sleek style mustang. They should be done with the new old style mustangs and move on by now.

Carrol Shelby is an idiot. An F1 car revs to 18000rpm, if it is making 900hp, it will only have 262ftlb of torque at that point. And we all know how slow they are.
CussCuss16 3 years ago
F1 cars are only designed to be used for what, 500 miles, then they need to be rebuilt? you can't take that technology on the street. That's why cars with higher torque and big blocks last longer and take more abuse over longer periods of time.
raver0789 3 years ago
thats not really winning races now is it :)
There are of course drawbacks to making engines in different ways. But the principle of torque and power remain solid.
If you rev an engine twice as hard, you only have to make half the torque (other things like the curve being equal), then gear it at 2:1 (relatively), the power of both engines will be the same and the cars will go exactly as fast as each other.
CussCuss16 3 years ago
gshmkrv74 with all do respect you couldn't be mmore wrong....1st. any and all turbos have a LAGG, it just depends on how much, yes even the Porsche too....2nd. to quote my friend Carrol Shelby "Horsepower sells cars, Torque WINS races." Thank you.
Porscheeater10 3 years ago
I'm with Cuss on that one. F1 cars have little torque, in fact if you drive one below 5000 RPMs it could stall easily. You gotta keep them screaming because they rely on high reving HP and light weight. High torque engines are typically heavy and don't like to rev high, and they are old school technology. Finally GM acknowledged this and put a blower on. High torque is only needed to pull trailers and tree stumps. Get a smaller, lighter engine, boost it and rev the shit out of it FTW!

one of the fastest american cars out there i think jay leno said it was dynoed at 638hp at the rear wheels i think its a exotic car killer.

The Italians taught GM to make a world-class supercar and undercut the import price for such.

yeah thats why delphi and gm co-invented the magnetic ride control that is used on ferraris.
bwebbsta012 3 years ago
Come on now tell the WHOLE truth.
GM invented the ride control and used it on the Corvette - then Ferrari bought this technology from GM. The Vette was the first vehicle to get magnetic ride control.

BEEMERFAN79 3 years ago
Youd be amazed what necessity can do..was required this huge crysis to induce Chevrolet to finnaly make a good cornering car and a V8 with the ammount of power that a V8 should have, 400hp was not that much back in the 60's, wonder why they thought it would be today, you dont need a V8 to make that much reliably anymore, american car makers were standing still in time thinking world was spinning around them.
gshmkrv74 3 years ago
you may not need a v8 to produce HP but there's a little thing called torque that is nice to have. you know, the ability to exert rotational force on an axis, i.e. the wheels. this vette has the best exhaust note i've heard. Higher pitch than the 7.0L in the Z06, but not totally weedwacker like ferrari.
bwebbsta012 3 years ago
Well, thats all because of the torque? if you want it soo much, go get a diesel.
Also, torque doesnt win races, it does help alot while driving like a granny around the city at 2k rpm, also, modern computer managed engines and modern turbos make a much more daily friendly sports car, with enough torque.
