WTF he's complaining about a 638 hp rwd car having traction issues in the rain and the ZR1 kept up great with that 650k awd lambo there were some parts i thought the corvette could have overtaken the lambo even
if i had 600,000 to spare, I'd just get both. Corvette for when you just wanna destroy some tarmac, and the Lambo when you wanna show off...it's a win win situation lol
Wow, cool comparison! Both drivers seem to be able to wheel a car respectively too. I am partial to the Corvette myself, but that Lambo sounds amazing as well.
I haven't driven a SV or ZR1 but I had the chance to do laps with AWD and RWD front engine and I have to say RWD is far more fun and gratifying. It's so hard to make a mistake with AWD, it just doesn't feel like an honest driving car. If you do make a mistake it just tends to understeer.
@gueropalma1990 There's NO way it could get the GT-R. And no, i'm no huge fan of the GT-R. But i have a friend who owns a GT-R, and he's raced three different zr1's. and he did beat the hell outta them.
Lambo's have amazing engines but that is not the only thing. They have everything! A look that everyone respects as well as an almost unbeatable fit and finish. Ergonomics on a Lambo are unserpassable. I'm not taking away from the Vette. They are amazing! For the price, tough to beat a corvette.
I don't understand why everyone is saying the Corvette ZR1 is such a poor car. You just have to be a talented driver to get the most out of it. And not to mention that the Lambo in this video is more than $449,999 with no options, when the ZR1 is starting at $111,000. The fact that the ZR1 can keep up with the Lambo at all makes it a huge value for money.
This is like comparing a brand new, penthouse suite to an average house in the suburbs. It's just practicality versus style/character and sorry corvette fans but a super car is not super without style and character.
Excellent video Steve. Love the rear view shot from the Lambo; gives you a real illustration how the Corvette (and you!) handle the dips, bumps and cambers. Any chance every video review could feature such shots? Should make interesting viewing with MPVs!

@kovacs88 I know Americans have a stereotype of being stupid, but coming to a video of a Corvette and saying "import junk" absolutely defies all belief and comprehension.
@HFLanciaStratos But a Canadian coming to a video of a Corvette and Lambo saying "import junk" makes perfect sense.

@kovacs88 corvette suck so much dick the only people who drive them have tiny penis that tells us somthing about you lambo will eat its lunch but only the 670
@kovacs88 And my point is that if you think a Murcielago SV is 'junk' then you must be either incredibly misinformed or drive a gold plated V2 rocket.
@HFLanciaStratos A $117,000 dollar stock car shits on a $500,000 dollar import, and you are trying to defend the lambo? It's a total waste for the money. Italian cars blow. You pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a logo and false sense of importance that can't beat a stock American corvette around the Nurburgring. Also, I hear you Europeans have a problem with being perceived as faggots. Your comment seems to solidify that perception.
@HFLanciaStratos Oh your Australian? Your country has never made a good car ever. LOL. If, using your own words, a "plastic" car can smash the lambo, then the lambo must be even worse.
@Imhotterthenyou11 Except some of America and Canada's most popular cars are built on Holden platforms or are Holdens (Chevy Cruze, Pontiac GTO, Chevy Camaro for example). And let's not even bring the 1970s into the equation. Let's just say I'd rather drive an XB Falcon or a Kingswood than some smog era piece of American junk.
And by your logic, a McLaren F1 LM must be a bad car because a Radical SR8 can probably "smash" it on some circuits.
@HFLanciaStratos Actually Holden is owned by GM hence Holdens being build on GM platforms. here is some knowledge for you. GM Holden Ltd is an automaker that operates in Australia, based in Port Melbourne, Victoria. The company was founded in 1856 as a saddlery manufacturer. In 1908 it moved into the automotive field, before becoming a subsidiary of the U.S.-based General Motors (GM) in 1931
@Imhotterthenyou11 Your point was that Australia has never built a decent car, I corrected you. We all know that Holden is owned by GM and that, goodness gracious, Ford Australia is a part of Ford USA.
@HFLanciaStratos U get what u pay for. pay triple.... get better interior? i'll take the vette and then buy a boat, motorcycle, pickup truck, and go on vacation for 6 months instead.
@TiconderogaX Not really, because I'd probably do the same after the novelty wore off. The Boogaddi is too fat and a bit ugly. And you can have a Zonda instead. Who wouldn't want a Zonda?
@TiconderogaX Well... the Zonda Cinque costed 1 million pounds. And Zonda F Clubsports are going for more than secondhand Veyrons. And then there's my other fantasy... the McLaren F1... that costs twice as much as a Veyron. And that's not in LM trim.
@TiconderogaX Oh god, why do so many people take Jeremy Clarkson's word as gospel?
Pretty much all cosmetic aftermarket modifications look like fucking shit on high end cars. Cars like your beloved C6RS, the Hamann SLR and pretty much anything Mansory are cases in point.
@HFLanciaStratos It's called an opinion...Just because some people like Zonda's and fat chicks, and other people like corvette's and models, doesn't mean everyone should.
@TiconderogaX You're literally articulating no valid or solid points at all.
I did chuckle at the fact you implied a Zonda was less desirable than a Corvette though lol. Next you'll be saying Sebastian Vettel is a better driver than Ayrton Senna.
@TiconderogaX It's not opinion, it's general consensus. Zondas appreciate in value. Corvettes depreciate like rocks. The most valuable and desirable Corvettes were pretty much all made before the 70s.
@HFLanciaStratos I think you need to look up the definition of an opinion...And yes, older corvette's can sell for upwards of $500k, I would hardly call that depreciation. Even newer corvette's still sell for 3/4 their msrp, which is better than any other car from retail market. The Zonda is a super car, with a whopping 200 sold in the last what? 13 years? Lol.
Great drivers, both. Each car made for their own type of driver. I love the ZR1 personally, but I respect the passion in the lambo. Honestly, just give me a Z06 and the saved money can just go into mods. ^_~
Um did really no one else notice that the corvette had to repeatedly hit its brakes to keep from rear ending the lambo? The lamorghini is just another examply, like the ferrari and the porche, of overpriced ugly European shit. It's gaudy and arrogant.
I didn't read all the comments so sorry if this is a re post but the lambo left first and that narrow road had really no room to pass unless you did a little paint sharing so this could have easily been the other way around but just like the Brits and Europeans to favor there brands.
--=--Hey music people. These 2 guys are from my hometown and they have started writing music. Their great and Im trying to help them out by getting them some more views. Their music is fantastic and defiantly check them out. It won't take long and you might just find your new favourite artists.
Furthermore, to correct some earlier posts about purchasing cars a bit cheaper and older to modify them to better performance levels..well, for RWD Corvettes it won't get any faster than a ZR1 and still be street legal. Period. Do you think 1000hp in a RWD setup would be any more effective than 638hp? Every single review, including this one, says that the Corvette is tough to keep traction with but that its power levels are just fine. It takes a special kind of driver to master the Vette.
@Rapide0910 the only difference on the zr1 and the ZO6 is the price tag , and engine and weight. for the price of a gt-r black edition base ($95,000) you can get the best trim , engine build experience , new special edition ( better interior and tiers 8% more grip and rims ) . and if you want to , you can buy a aftermarket supercharger and add it for the zo6 and it will easy beat most cars out there. with the supercharger - $110,000 + and without $95,100+ but i rather go GTR if your not SC zo6.
I feel like alot of people are missing the point of the review. People saying the Lambo is better - well of course. Thank you for being Captain Obvious. If GM decided to dump another $200K into the ZR1 I'm sure it could do the same and more, obviously. But they didn't. They're target market is not the rich and famous up and ups, it's the upper-middle classed race and sport car enthusiasts tha wish to have the best bang for the buck, which is the ZR1.
@fueledpassion Absolutely,If general Motors ever re-designed the Vette with a mid-ship engine placement,and made such a 5.0L 10 cylinder mutli radiator cooled engine,and say a few body modifications to carbon fiber.It would be a thing of beauty to say the least.And if it could be done for under 100K,then Lamborghini wouldnt really have a shot in hell.
@fueledpassion ''bang for the buck, which is the ZR1''. Lol. I don't think anyone that has over 100k to blow on a car would care about bang for the buck. The ZR1 is cheap because of the cheap material it uses. You gotta admit... As much of a fast, incredible machine it is, it's fully plastic. I'm pretty sure Murcielagos include one of the finest materials. I haven't seen one Murcielago fall apart than I've seen 2 ZR1s fall apart. Overall, I'd be happy with a either car.
Good review. To each his own. I do like that a car that costs considerably less can perform just as well. That Lambo sure is a cool looking car though.
@americaHUMVEES I partly agree, because if the Lamborghinidriver floors the throttle and drives it on the edge, the Corvette will definitely be totally gone! Besides that, I prefer the noise of the Lambo and in Europe Corvettes still are quite expensive, the ZR1 is about €200.000 which of course is a lot less than the squeezed and limited Lamborghini, which costs about €500.000 in my country, that's why we only have 3 SV's driving around.. Too bad. - Greetz Joris
@JorisKre I think the lambo was driven to the edge, unless "Max" was not doing his job. I agree, let the corvette lead and see how the Lambo does. The Corvette has a pile of torque which takes some time for the European drivers to get used to.
For everyone who's saying the lambo is better in every way, keep in mind how much cheaper that corvette is, and it can still keep up with the SV. that's the whole point of corvettes, sure they don't have quilted leather on the inside or 7 gearbox settings, but they are balls to the wall fucking fast
@americaHUMVEES However if you buy into that argument, what is the point of paying 100k for a speed machine ZR1 when you can go buy a modded Supra, C5 or base C6 or Z06, Viper, Noble, many Porsches, etc for a much cheaper price, with performance equal to or better. Once you start baseing a buying decision on speed it makes more sense to go on autotrader/ebay and just get an already modded sports car and pocket the rest of the money. 30-60k can get you a 700-1000 horsepower car all day long.
god damm people some of you are really F up , you are fucking compare the GM garbage named chevrolet with the manufacter that defines ''exotic cars '' lamborghini ?! its not like it is a 911 or a nissan gt-r .
Both cars are beautiful. The Vette could keep up with the Super Veloce.The problem with the vette is the body just isn't that great for the price. Over 100k and it still looks too close to a stock one.
ZR1 is a Nice car, but... I prefer a Japanese or German car NSX, GT-R, RX-7 FD3S... 911 turbo, GT2 GT3, Sports cars with a performance equal to or greater. Not always big engines are the best
@niceboy60 That is what happens when you crack the throttle of a 600+ hp FR car coming out of a corner. Yes out of this whole battle you will cling to the two moments where traction is broken for a split second. Once again listen to what he is saying.
@niceboy60 So now it's not so much the Corvette handling bad, but the fact that it's a high hp FR car?
I understand you've never driven a high hp car around a track, probably never driven around a track at all for that matter. But what you see here is part of racing a FR car, they will step out from time to time.
Notice how quickly it is gathered back up and how little distance is lost.
You're trying to compare a small track like this to a track like the Nordschleife? Come now.
yes someone say this car sucks this car bullshit etc etc.. but when you sit in a supercar you just say WOW. dont worry in casual life you dont do 0-200 runs for all day
There're a lot of vids where these awd exotics bit there handlers in the ass for thinking these cars can do no wrong at the hands of the inexperienced
the vette cost less than a 3rd of what you would have to pay for that lambo..........it only has 30 more hp with 4 more cylinders and the vette kept up with no problem....?....a 300k vette would smash that over priced sissy machine
Come on guys, just come on! a Corvette or a Lamborghini SuperVeloce? Come on!!! Corvette are great great muscle cars, i think the best muscle car out there. But i prefer the lambo all the way! Its better looking, faster in some cases, and just more easy to drive. To drive a corvette you need to know what you are doing, it can slide in the corners if you dont know how to handle it. the lamborghini just drives perfectly. Dont get me worng, my step-dad haves the zr1 and is fast but i prefer the SV!
@aqinthe of coarse its not a really good comparison. It cost more, but you receive more! My step-dad haves that same ZR1, even in the same color, its cheeper than the lambo but theres always something wrong with the zr1, something breaks or stops working, so at the end of the year it cost almost the same. Trust me! He buy it for 120,000 in 2010, and he have spend more than 50,000 fixing all the things it breaks. With the lambo you wont have that problem.
Lambos are actually quite expensive to keep up. Constant maintence and tune ups. They are still great cars though. I really doubt your story. A new car is under factory warranty so it wouldn't have cost him anything. Also if it really was 50,000 in repairs is would qualify as a lemon and GM would have bought it back. Also I can't think of anything that would come to 50,000 worth of repairs in under 2 years. I say you are lair liar, or at least bending the truth.
@aqinthe Lambos are quite expensive too but they don't break stuff so much. My stephather is not the best driver and he also used it as a every day car, i think thats way it breaks so much stuff, first, it blows the transmission 2 times in no more than a year, so he decided to change it and but a racing one who cost around 7,500$, then the air compresor, then the radiator heated up if you used the car to much, so he change it.
@kokaPRinter If you hit the breaks to hard the blow out so he put ones more expensives to see if they didn't blow again. Some of the valves that conect to the cilinders broked in less that 8 months, and dont even mention new set of wheels almos every 6 to 8 months for all the rubber they burn. Now i can say its not giving any problem because it doesnt have most of the original parts, all are racing parts in deed.
@204nino naaaaaaaaaa! You think the corvette will handle at 100 mph going into sharp curves? The Corvette isn't has stable has the Lamborghini, trust me ;)
@kokaPRinter i know that , and let me tell you something you now that a lot of people compare the zr1 with 911 , gallardo and all other supercars and they say that the vette its cheaper and faster but lets not forget about who is the manufacter for the lp670-4 sv and the corvette zr1 , i mean obviously that the murcielago will cost 3 or 4 times more than the zr1 but for f*ck seik its a lamborghini and vette its just a chevrolet , i mean lamborghini makes supercars from the first place
The difference between the two is a wash on this track with these drivers. After that it comes down to initial and lifetime cost... ZR1 clinches it. Buy a ZR1 and keep it well. Use all your saved money to get a 'cowboy Cadillac' Silverado as a beater / daily driver and use it to tow the ZR1 to the track. Even after all that you're still ahead on cash. Add the fact that you live in the USA and can buy and use a big ol' redneck Chevy truck... nothing fans the flames of European jealousy higher :)
corvette and most ferraris like groinfacegroin said do indeed use delphi MSRC which stands for magnetic selective ride control the susupension automaticly adjusts ever few seconds to give you the best ride delphi's MSRC was developed by gm's research laboratories alot of sports cars use this suspension simply cause it is one of the best suspension setup on the market.
You pussies! Why don't you reverse the situation and have the Lambo chase the Vette? I'm betting the Vette will pull away. Of course we can't have that, can we? The new ZR-1 is one hell of a car, but an equal comparison does not appear to interest you. The kings have no clothes! It's all about class with you fucking Limeys; no matter how good the Corvette is, you can always denigrate it as being crass. Well, no more! Fuck you - this car would beat the Lambo on this track.
$400K vs around $125K. Secondly your paying for more quality with the Lambo, better engineering and a naturally aspirated engine that sings the tunes of angels. The ZR1 which i still think if bloody fantastic if steak and cheese, its a big engine with a supercharger, lack luster interior/quality and plastic fantastic. Its a hoot of a car but it doesnt compare to the track focused nature of the SV and how planted it it where the ZR1 is twitchy.
@KTCassman Sir, yes the Lambo does have a nicer interior, but to say it is better engineered and better on the track, and more "focused" as you say is HIGHLY debateable considering what it has accomplished on the track and besting the Lambo's track times. BTW some Ferrari models use the Corvette's suspention. Shitty engineering, right? Damn Euro Nut-huggers can be uber thick sometimes.
They dont actually use Corvette suspension they use a concept that Corvette derived. Thats like saying Henry Ford was first to mass produced the engine so therefore a Lambo engine is actually a Ford engine. Dont get me wrong the ZR1 is a great car as i know due to owning one but its no Lambo for fit and feel and for cornering. Exiting corners and power sliding the back is extremely twitchy and that comes from body roll, you dont get that with any recent produced Lambo
Sounds very likely to me, too. I am by far NOT an opposer to any of the "benchmarks" like Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, etc. These are, by all standards, brilliant cars! But this does not mean at all that there are no other cars that match or even surpass them in many regards.
The Italian does not seem to be able to shake the Vette off, despite all its efforts, including 4x4, an absurd tail-wing, and even more absurd pricing. So, let me see, where is the Lambo in Nurburgring... a-ha! Not surprised! :) Excellent work, guys from Kentucky!
@vladispassov lambo does not have 4x4 it has awd.. awd and 4x4 are two different things you cannot switch into rwd in awd. in 4x4 you usually have the settings of 4 low 4 high and 2 high.
Make fun of American cars all you want, truth is that we sell the most cars in the world

Furthermore, to correct some earlier posts about purchasing cars a bit cheaper and older to modify them to better performance levels..well, for RWD Corvettes it won't get any faster than a ZR1 and still be street legal. Period. Do you think 1000hp in a RWD setup would be any more effective than 638hp? Every single review, including this one, says that the Corvette is tough to keep traction with but that its power levels are just fine. It takes a special kind of driver to master the Vette.

@Rapide0910 the only difference on the zr1 and the ZO6 is the price tag , and engine and weight. for the price of a gt-r black edition base ($95,000) you can get the best trim , engine build experience , new special edition ( better interior and tiers 8% more grip and rims ) . and if you want to , you can buy a aftermarket supercharger and add it for the zo6 and it will easy beat most cars out there. with the supercharger - $110,000 + and without $95,100+ but i rather go GTR if your not SC zo6.

If GM decided to dump another $200K into the ZR1 I'm sure it could do the same and more, obviously. But they didn't. They're target market is not the rich and famous up and ups, it's the upper-middle classed race and sport car enthusiasts tha wish to have the best bang for the buck, which is the ZR1.

@fueledpassion Absolutely,If general Motors ever re-designed the Vette with a mid-ship engine placement,and made such a 5.0L 10 cylinder mutli radiator cooled engine,and say a few body modifications to carbon fiber.It would be a thing of beauty to say the least.And if it could be done for under 100K,then Lamborghini wouldnt really have a shot in hell.
brasspineappleprod 1 month ago
@fueledpassion ''bang for the buck, which is the ZR1''. Lol. I don't think anyone that has over 100k to blow on a car would care about bang for the buck. The ZR1 is cheap because of the cheap material it uses. You gotta admit... As much of a fast, incredible machine it is, it's fully plastic. I'm pretty sure Murcielagos include one of the finest materials. I haven't seen one Murcielago fall apart than I've seen 2 ZR1s fall apart. Overall, I'd be happy with a either car.

@americaHUMVEES I partly agree, because if the Lamborghinidriver floors the throttle and drives it on the edge, the Corvette will definitely be totally gone! Besides that, I prefer the noise of the Lambo and in Europe Corvettes still are quite expensive, the ZR1 is about €200.000 which of course is a lot less than the squeezed and limited Lamborghini, which costs about €500.000 in my country, that's why we only have 3 SV's driving around.. Too bad. - Greetz Joris

@JorisKre I think the lambo was driven to the edge, unless "Max" was not doing his job. I agree, let the corvette lead and see how the Lambo does. The Corvette has a pile of torque which takes some time for the European drivers to get used to.

@americaHUMVEES However if you buy into that argument, what is the point of paying 100k for a speed machine ZR1 when you can go buy a modded Supra, C5 or base C6 or Z06, Viper, Noble, many Porsches, etc for a much cheaper price, with performance equal to or better. Once you start baseing a buying decision on speed it makes more sense to go on autotrader/ebay and just get an already modded sports car and pocket the rest of the money. 30-60k can get you a 700-1000 horsepower car all day long.

I understand you've never driven a high hp car around a track, probably never driven around a track at all for that matter. But what you see here is part of racing a FR car, they will step out from time to time.
Notice how quickly it is gathered back up and how little distance is lost.

Lambos are actually quite expensive to keep up. Constant maintence and tune ups. They are still great cars though. I really doubt your story. A new car is under factory warranty so it wouldn't have cost him anything. Also if it really was 50,000 in repairs is would qualify as a lemon and GM would have bought it back. Also I can't think of anything that would come to 50,000 worth of repairs in under 2 years. I say you are lair liar, or at least bending the truth.

@aqinthe Lambos are quite expensive too but they don't break stuff so much. My stephather is not the best driver and he also used it as a every day car, i think thats way it breaks so much stuff, first, it blows the transmission 2 times in no more than a year, so he decided to change it and but a racing one who cost around 7,500$, then the air compresor, then the radiator heated up if you used the car to much, so he change it.

@kokaPRinter If you hit the breaks to hard the blow out so he put ones more expensives to see if they didn't blow again. Some of the valves that conect to the cilinders broked in less that 8 months, and dont even mention new set of wheels almos every 6 to 8 months for all the rubber they burn. Now i can say its not giving any problem because it doesnt have most of the original parts, all are racing parts in deed.

The difference between the two is a wash on this track with these drivers. After that it comes down to initial and lifetime cost... ZR1 clinches it. Buy a ZR1 and keep it well. Use all your saved money to get a 'cowboy Cadillac' Silverado as a beater / daily driver and use it to tow the ZR1 to the track. Even after all that you're still ahead on cash. Add the fact that you live in the USA and can buy and use a big ol' redneck Chevy truck... nothing fans the flames of European jealousy higher :)

$400K vs around $125K. Secondly your paying for more quality with the Lambo, better engineering and a naturally aspirated engine that sings the tunes of angels. The ZR1 which i still think if bloody fantastic if steak and cheese, its a big engine with a supercharger, lack luster interior/quality and plastic fantastic. Its a hoot of a car but it doesnt compare to the track focused nature of the SV and how planted it it where the ZR1 is twitchy.
KTCassman 2 months ago
@KTCassman Sir, yes the Lambo does have a nicer interior, but to say it is better engineered and better on the track, and more "focused" as you say is HIGHLY debateable considering what it has accomplished on the track and besting the Lambo's track times. BTW some Ferrari models use the Corvette's suspention. Shitty engineering, right? Damn Euro Nut-huggers can be uber thick sometimes.

@GroinFaceGroin
They dont actually use Corvette suspension they use a concept that Corvette derived. Thats like saying Henry Ford was first to mass produced the engine so therefore a Lambo engine is actually a Ford engine. Dont get me wrong the ZR1 is a great car as i know due to owning one but its no Lambo for fit and feel and for cornering. Exiting corners and power sliding the back is extremely twitchy and that comes from body roll, you dont get that with any recent produced Lambo
