[E46325mod]

Stock?? my hairy ass it's stock

[Chadb89]

@E46325mod You must not know what a ZR1 is then

[kief4diamonds]

4th gear chirp!

[shanedungey]

lol rolling start



[911SHIZBO]

LOL, cherped 4th

[Jutzujin]

Cars are geared so well.

[IDontHateOnCars]

[murphyloi]

I'm a GTR fan but i also love this beauty...

[fresno233]

a dodge viper cant do better

[Curveball]

@fresno233

No friendly fire.

Corvette, Camaro, Challenger, Mustang, Ford GT, Viper, Saleen S7, SSC Ultimate Aero....Team USA.

[mrsniper42]

id like to see ford try to top that

[built04Cobra]

my uncle has one and i ran 11 flat in it 2 days ago

[yfz162]

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but that was likely a 2nd gear launch right??? If so, barkin tires on the 4th gear shift is awesome.......and i'm a mustang guy for the record lol. The Vette is fuckin bad!

[sladey121]

@yfz162 Nah I would say 1st gear launch, because 1st in these is very long, and goes up to around 60mph!

[IDontHateOnCars]

@sladey121 1st gear is 2.29, rather tall it is. Z06 does about 62 as well , with only a 2.66 1st gear, but that is because it revs 500 rpm's higher.

[sladey121]

@IDontHateOnCars Ditto!

[IDontHateOnCars]

@sladey121 ha

[sladey121]

@IDontHateOnCars :D

[Corvettemonsterman]

@borlastngrs i wish more people were like me and you just respect the cars instead of talking crap about them

[petermello55]

@Corvettemonsterman for real

[SICKJ0KER]

Haha I love how vettes make ppl butthurt =)

[MrTyronePimp]

that road surface is crazy sticky, if u tried that on the street ud convert the rears into smoke

[bigenginesismythang]

you know whats funny is the motor trend guys can only get 12's with this car hahah

[xabipp]

@bigenginesismythang it is you,pal ;)

noone else is bitching here ^^ if you havent got anything else to say please move on ^^

[bigenginesismythang]

@xabipp did i say anyone was bitching here i said people are bitching somewhere else which is pretty stupid that it doesnt impress people when a bone stock n/a car does tens but when a stock supercharged car does it its so amazing dont you think that kinda dumb?

[xabipp]

@bigenginesismythang that same guy did 10's on his bone stock Z06 on stock tires

keep finding excuses please ;)

[bigenginesismythang]

@xabipp i saw that and everything on the car was stock EXCEPT the tires so keep lying and denying facts please :)

[xabipp]

@bigenginesismythang fanboy...try reading the info that is on the web and see who's lying , cool?

damn i m sick of 15 year old keyboard racers here ^^

[bigenginesismythang]

@xabipp im not a fanboy and im 19.. whatever... if the zo6 can get 10's bone stock then why does the zr1 only gets high 10s stock shouldnt it be faster?? if 2 cars get tens and one is supercharged theyrer both fast cars but the one that isnt supercharged impresses me more thats what i thought at least one other person would think but i guess not theyre all just jockin the vette but in my opinion they had to supercharge the vette to keep up i always thought chevy had pride in being NA til now

[xabipp]

@bigenginesismythang what a coincidence i just logged and you replied ^^

anyway...youre asking why the car is supercharged? well take a look at the displacement of the Viper? 8.4l V10 vs 6.2l supercharged V8? I'd say its pretty even :O

as for the Z06 and ZR1 times...

take a look at the ZR1's torque and hp and take a look at the Z06's hp and torque!

the more powerful car is HARDER to launch right without melting the tires :>

that is why GM offered PTM as a standart ot 2010/11 models...

[bigenginesismythang]

@xabipp i still dont believe you on a stock zo6 getting 10s but look i do think its even except all of chevys cars use to be all motor until the new viper came out wit 600 hp then the zr1 came back with a supercharger i just dont see why everybody bashes the viper and praises the vette its stupid and what are you trying to say about the log in??? that im a looser and stay on youtube all day?? thats so played out dude

[xabipp]

@bigenginesismythang WHEN DID I BASHED THE VIPER!

PLEASE POINT ME TO WHERE I BASHED THE VIPER!I BEG YOU!!!

And...what i wanted to say about the log in...is that i JUST LOGGED and you left the reply to me 1 second earlier! Few words...I ment it was just a Coincidence?

[xabipp]

@bigenginesismythang and just to help you out...when you see a car that traps low 11's but the trap speed is 125mph (give or take) what does that tell you? its obviousl a 10 second car but what hold's it back is the TRACTION! That is the reason there's so many 10 sec stock Z06's on Drag Radials instead of Goodyear F1 Runflats (so sad tires..)

anyway i think all we did was missunderstood each other? ^^

[bigenginesismythang]

@xabipp im not sayin you bashed it man chill out if you remember i was talking to everybody at first because i didnt like how everbody was bashing this car on one video and aplauding this other car when they got the same time and yeah the zo6 not getting traction makes sense arent the rims 11 inches wide?? i know the viper is 13 and it still has a hard time getting traction.. im not a fanboy dude i have a camaro the vette just doesnt really catch my attention i see them way too much

[oriclepro09]

@xabipp no, alot of sports cars run 11s or 12s but have insane trap speeds because they aren't geared for acceleration, thats why vettes usually go 11s but have a 10 second equivilent trap speed. Not because of traction.

[xabipp]

@oriclepro09 than explain why Z06's with DRAG RADIALS equipped which improves....TRACTION (?!) run 10's without breaking a sweat?

[oriclepro09]

@xabipp obviously i'm not saying that traction isn't a factor, I'm saying that the gearing is the reason why the cars run 11s but have crazy high MPH.

[xabipp]

@oriclepro09 pointless...

[IxOVERKILLxI]

@xabipp hahaaha dont worry bro hes not getting the point

[ztwntyn8]

@oriclepro09 right, if the gears were a little lower (numericaly) you could stay in 3rd and not loose the time shifting but suffer 60' but still a high mph. Then if you had some I'm guessing 4.56 gears you could take full advantage of 4th which obviously gets you there quicker but not faster. I dig what you are saying.

[dozertheREALpitbull]

Hahaha push rod v8 inferior technology! ya right i think GM knows to not fix something thats not broken. I agree that the ford gt is a gutless turd for the price especially when you can run a ls3 vette with heads cam intake exhaust tune and laugh the ford guy out of town while spending a fraction of the price not to mention the fact that mpg is excellent for hp

[cozzey05]

@dozertheREALpitbull I'm an LS guy myself but the ford gt has a motor thats built damn good. You can get over 1000 rwhp without even touching the internals of the motor. simply twin turbos and a tune, look up the price of a heffner 1000 rwhp kit vs the lingenfelter with similar power and see whats replaced and how much it costs. The ford will start to sound like a bargain

[JobeMinacum]

wow chirps into 4th... crazy..

[903aaron903]

4th gear scratch Awesome!

[Greendude33]

Haha Ford guys brag about their GT500 chirping in 2nd haha try 4th.

[DODODOK]

@Greendude33

I seriously doubt GT500 owners brag about that. My 04 N/A GT with under 300 hp chirps 3rd. No big deal! Mach 1's chirp 4th.

My buddys termi chirps all gears with the whipple. Whoopdy doo

[Greendude33]

@DODODOK

Ya tire chirping doesnt meanshit but what seperates a ZR1 from any Stang is the engineering, the technology and the Raw performance.

The ZR1 does 0-60 in 3.2 w/o LC and 0-100 in 6.8 secs ECU limed to 205MPH

The Suspension and Brakes alone cost more than a new Stang.

I hate Ford Fan Boys who cry foul when a 505HP Z06 whips their 725HP Snake, while they are toatally oblivious to aerodynamics and power/weight ratios.

[DODODOK]

@Greendude33 Vette boys never understand that you can't compare Mustang's to Corvette's. Mustang is a MUSCLE car and Corvette's are SPORTS cars (ZR1 more like a supercar whereas C6 Z06 is on the limit of Sports Cars).

Nobody is supposed to be comparing the supersnake to corvette's. Anyone who thinks the Corvette is MADE for drag racing is RETARDED. Corvette's are TRACK cars, you know, the ones with turns. Mustang's go straight well, Corvette's turn like a boss (best handling american cars...)

[Greendude33]

@DODODOK Corvettes are just better overall performance cars, the ZR1 does the 1/4 mile in 10.7 Secs no Muscle Car will touch that.. Corvettes are Sports Cars yes you're the 1st Ford guy to understand what that is.

The Vette naturally would also do well in the 1/4 mile seeing as its really light with alot of HP.

But the Funny thing is when a GT500 gets beat by a base Vette and Ford fanboys just dont understand. Raw HP alone doesnt make a car fast.

[DODODOK]

@Greendude33 Nah man your still missing what im saying and your still comparing muscle cars to sports car. The corvette is a better overall car than a Mustang because it's a damn SPORTS CAR. And the PRICE reflects this. Still on the other not of comparison since we are stuck on this, the 03 Cobra could hold its own against the vette of its day. (Quoted as Corvette level performace)

I don't like the GT500 (except for the 2011). The 07-09 GT500's are fat and don't handle and cant put power down.

[svt11111]

@DODODOK I agree. GT500s are huge cruisers that offer great performance for their size. They're muscle cars.  Corvettes are hardcore sports cars, 2 seats, they sit on the ground, virtually no interior insulation, very light, etc.

Compare a GT500 to a Camaro with an LSX and it's LIGHTS OUT. Compare the new 2011 Mustang GT and it smokes the new Camaro. It would be cool if ford created a sports car to play with Corvettes.

[DODODOK]

@svt11111 Yep! 100% Correct.

[HEMIH3AD]

@svt11111 well vette´s are also muscle car in my opinion

[3O2MuStAnG]

@HEMIH3AD I dont know why people think Chevy Corvette´s aren´t muscle cars

just because it´s got 2 seats only ? so a muscle car is just a muscle car as long as it´s got 4 seats ? so a drag camaro (for example) without backseats is not a muscle car ? sounds kinda strange to me. Vettes look like muscle cars - they´ve got pushrod V8´s like muscle cars - they perform like muscle cars and they sound like muscle cars - plus Vettes are typical american V8 coupes so how is it "not" a muscle car ?

[svt11111]

@HEMIH3AD A definition of a muscle car is a midsized coupe sold at an affordable price for street use and drag racing..Z06s and ZR1s are expensive and small lightweight 2 seater sports cars intended for high-speed touring and road racing. They have a powerplant that could be used in a muscle car, that's for sure. : )

[TrippyJoey]

@svt11111 They did it was called the Ford GT. It only lasted two years, was alot more expensive than the corvette and it's performance was slightly below par with the corvette.

[svt11111]

@TrippyJoey The FGT was created 3 years before the Z06 and it was a true exotic. Mid engine, a one-of rare car from the ground up, hand built body, hand designed leather/brushed aluminum interior, fully built 5.4L, twin screw blower, (not a roots like in the ZR1), German Ricardo 6spd, (not a T6060R that's in Mustangs and Camaros), etc, etc.

The Z06 and ZR1 are cheap because they're built off a $40,000 base Corvette with over 50,000 mass produced a year.

[Rastamut]

@svt11111 ,, For the most part, you're rightt about the FGT. But the sad about the FGT is that eventhough it has a "German Ricardo" 6sp tranny, the ratio isnt perfect like the ZR1. The FGT tops out on 5th gear, where the 6th gear is for, ahem...... overdrive... Pretty sad for a 150K sports car with a "European" tranny. LOL

[svt11111]

@Rastamut Like the ZR1? ha ha, the ZR1 uses a T6060R the same transmission used in Mustang, Camaros, base Corvettes, etc. It has TWO overdrive gears, 5th and 6th.

The FGT is rated at 205mph out of the box, and it has almost 90hp less than the ZR1, produced 6 years before the ZR1.

[Rastamut]

@svt11111 ,,You're missing the point. What Im saying is that the FGT "European" 6th gear is pretty much useless, except to save gas. I know the FGT can go 205 but it acheaved at 5th gear, unlike the ZR1 where the same top speed is reached at 6th gear. That being said, from 0-200 MPH, the ZR1 will leave the overpriced FGT in the dust.

[svt11111]

@Rastamut The ZR1 is faster than the Ford GT, Chevy designed it 6 years after the Ford GT, of course it's faster. It's just a Corvette on steroids. The Ford GT when built was meant to beat exotics like the Ferrari 360 Modena, at it's time the Corvette C5 Z06 was Chevy's fastest sports car.

As for gearing, the gearing in the ricardo 6spd is superior to that of the T6060R in the ZR1. 5th gear is 1:1 in the GT, unlike the T6060R which is 5th AND 6th gear overdrives.

[Rastamut]

@svt11111 ,, I dont get it SVT,,,,,,,. ZR1 is an American built car, so to have an American tranny is normal. So you're saying that its a huge big of a deal that the FGT has a European tranny???? The last time I checked the FGT is a Ford. If you're so hung up about this "European" thing, why not just put a 2.0L Jetta on the FGT,??? ,,, after all, its European right,??? it must be better. LOL

[svt11111]

@Rastamut It's not a big deal, whether it's European or American the transmission is SIGNIFICANTLY superior. If you haven't been paying attention, the Ford GT recently CRUSHED the standing mile record at 266mph. The reason for it's record is first it's superior aerodynamics and second the transmission which can handle well over 1500rwhp in even 5th gear.

The T6060R is a mass produced transmission used in Camaros and older GT500s.

[svt11111]

@Rastamut Anyways, people like you will never understand why a Ford GT costs more than a suped up $40,000 base Corvette. The Ford is a completely hand assembled mid engine, rare exotic. It isn't mass produced with an interior from a $40,000 and it doesn't have borrowed parts from a $25,000 pony car.

[Rastamut]

@svt11111 , Believe me, I completely understand the difference between the two cars. Im a fan of any good built sports cars. But what I dont understand is what are you doing in a ZR1 link if all you do is making comments about an FGT?? Its like me going to a FGT link and say, "Hey look, that 160K Ford is running a Modular engine found on a $25K Pony car" , and its so poorly designed that they recalled the front suspension on it" That wouldnt be very nice, woulnt it ??

[svt11111]

@Rastamut I'm replying to a comment. I'm not talking about the LS9 engine which is based off a pushrod architecture from 1998 fbodys. Because the fact is, both the motors are extremely stout and definitely not the weak points in either application. The FGT motor has made well over 1200rwhp on the stock internals. The ZR1 motor that's not been out for long has made over 900rwhp on the stock internals.

I respect what makes the FGT more exclusive and expensive, regardless of the video.

[heartboy86]

@svt11111 they are three years apart,not six

[svt11111]

@heartboy86 The FORD GT was actually produced in late 2003. They are entirely hand-built so they weren't officially available for production until 2005.

[heartboy86]

@svt11111 right,the last year of production was 06,right

[svt11111]

@heartboy86 Yes, 2005 and 2006. However, they started producing them in 2003 with the intent of only releasing a very limited amount for 2 years.

The car is technically behind 7 years from cars produced today. It was built to beat supercars back in 2003 and when it even debuted in 2005. There is always something coming out that's faster.

[camirocz]

@svt11111 Yeah ok it WAS so great they stopped making it.Get  over it, its over, passe ,yesterday s news!

[svt11111]

@camirocz Not surprising from someone that drives an IrocZ. I'm not the one who brought Ford GTs in this discussion; I'm having a conversation with someone else.

Go brush your mullet.

[camirocz]

@svt11111 i dont drive an iroc z sold it 2 years ago i drive a 2007 z06

[loudblazer]

@Greendude33 Exactly, i think motortrend did a test and the supersnake wasnt even faster than the GT500. All the extra power is wasted on wheel spin. Ford should make a new, higher end car and not just putting huge power in a car that you can buy for $20,000, lol. I never liked the Ford GT, too expensive and looks kinda weird.

[Lastwordismine]

I'm giving that number up to the track ...pretty awesome rig though

[anderson1cop]

Man this is amazing. I can remember about 20 years ago 10 second cars were being trailored to the track because most cars that quick were not even streetable. Now a ZR1 commes straight out of the factory running 10's.

[MPG350]

sick car

[StreetLethalRacing]

What is truly amazing is that the car ran those numbers with a so so sixty foot. Can't really tell from the distance but the board looks like it showed a 1.93 sixty foot. Just imagine if it hooked, and pulled a 1.4x sixty foot. That is truly an amazing vehicle....

[dhillskier75]

the board does show a 1.43

[StreetLethalRacing]

@dhillskier75

Hard to say, as now that I look at it again it does look like a 1.43, but how can that be though. Consider the 133-mph trap speed, if it really was a 1.43 sixty foot then he should have been closer to a10.0 ET, wouldn't you agree....?

[DODODOK]

@dhillskier75 Which is his reaction time which also shows negative AKA he left early and RED lighted.

[praetorian2150]

dam, a chirp in 4th, that's truly ridiculous

[jessiejames2012]

@praetorian2150 it is thats crazy as hell usually seond gear scrach is cool but 4th holy shit

[Sahadi420]

Yea on a sticky drag strip. Imagine on normal asphalt. You can probably smoke the tires goin 70!!

[spuy767]

@praetorian2150 All about how hard you dump the clutch between gears. I could probably shave a few 100ths off by no clutching the shifts.

[loudblazer]

@praetorian2150 even more impressive it chirped and still did a 10.82. Its funny how all the super snake fans brag about how much it spins the tires, but if your wanting a good time, its not good, lol.

[mark03cobra]

@praetorian2150

That was a chirp in 3rd , dummy! Not 4th.  LOL

[praetorian2150]

@mark03cobra, u forgot to count the chirp getting off the line :)

[gnccracer16]

@mark03cobra learn how to listen and count at the same time......

[loudblazer]

@mark03cobra he just went into 4th, so he is right saying it was a chirp in 4th.

[hurley257]

@praetorian2150 agreed i had a z28 97 and it only squealed till 3rd

[TamaMan15]

3 words. gorgeous. fast. BADASS!!!

[borlastngrs]

It is'nt that heard to see he starts from a standstill, the moment he starts so does the clock; it's legit and there's no argueing it. I bet if you bring this video to car and driver or any other highly regarded magazine the would agree. I'm a mustang fan but that Z-R1 is that fast and i respect it.

[ZR1Terror]

@borlastngrs And the Z06 too.

[Voldness]

@borlastngrs Tis true. Its a beast.

[harlon2u]

And one more thing about the staging tree, if you sit there at the green light, your time does not start..until you break the stage lights...lets say a car runs 10:00 everytime...and if you sit 5 seconds after the green, you would still run a 10:00 when you finally took off..either way, red-lighting, or sitting at the green, the tree lights have no factor in elapsed time. The tree is just used to make a race fair (like taking off before the other, you get a red light and lose)

[sayit8ntso]

Not to hate but he jumped it. Real stock zr1 runs are more in the low 11's range.

[harlon2u]

@sayit8ntso Im not being a smartass, but red-lighting has nothing to do with your E.T As soon as you start rolling, (no matter if it is before or after red) your time is started when you break the stage lights. The tree lights have nothing to do with your elapsed time. In other words, you could take off right after the 1st yellow, and still turn the same time as if you started on a green...the tree is only to even the race, or handicap a slower car fairly, nothing more.

[sayit8ntso]

Harlon i know what your saying but your forgetting two things. 1 hes already closer to the 1/4 if hes rolling over the line before the lights green and 2 hes starting to build up momentum and speed before he should. Both will give you a lower time in the end.

[MaxwellReviresco]

@sayit8ntso harlon2u is right...it doesn't matter. If the tree's two staging lights r on ur staged at the same spot everytime. Once u budge the clock starts, even if u start at the first green, or sit there for a whole day. Once those tires move even the slightest, the sensor makes sure there isn't a distance advantage so it starts ur time. You can't gain any advantage unless ur rolling and the two top lights haven't staged u. You need some track time, then u'll know exactly what we're saying.

[osirisvb]

there is another video of another driver hitting 10.74 @ 133.21 mph and it was a clean pass in a bone stock zr-1 no red light either. A stock zr-1 can run high 10s with a good driver, it has been proven multiple times now

[sayit8ntso]

Buy a road & track magazine or some official noting of a ZR-1's 1/4 time not a youtube video of it and youl see its posted as low 11's i have yet to hear of a stock ZR-1 doing 10's

[osirisvb]

Check this video out, stock zr-1 hits 10.74 @ 133.21mph

watch?v=woOqqfGtqHo

Magazines are not the end all and know all of automotive performance. There was even a guy who scraped a 10 sec pass out of a stock z06. Z06s are low 11sec cars. I know it is hard to believe, especially when you are loyal to the GTR. Another third driver on the corvette forums hit a 10 sec pass @ over 130mph trap, so it is more than possible in a zr-1

[xabipp]

@osirisvb the guy that ran 10's is the same guy in this video :> 10.98 @ stock tires and 10.83 @ Drag Radials.....i think google had some info of that runs also had timeslips with a signatures on them from the track officials that verified the lap and the car :>

[osirisvb]

GM will never come out and officially claim such numbers, they love to under-rate their cars instead of hyping this up to the nth degree and having their customers feel like they were deprived.

Youtube and other avenues such as streetfire show individual users displaying a factory stock car's capabilities in the real world. It is just as valid as any magazine tester holding a video and capturing a test of a certain vehicle

[sayit8ntso]

I like the way you argue your opinion but it doesnt mean what you just said was valid. An official noting of it is the real fact and proof. And i like the GTR but that doesnt mean i cant appreciate the ZR-1.

[osirisvb]

You are entitled to your opinion as well, but that does not mean it is valid either. Esp when there are videos of individuals who own zr-1s putting up 10.7 and 10.8 ETS with trap speeds over 132mph stock contradiicting your opinion that the zr-1 is only a low 11sec car, it is clearly faster and capable of a 10 sec quarter pass as proven by these videos w/ a good driver

Just because magazines are unable to reach this height or GM doesnt state it openly, doesnt mean it is impoosible to reach.

[MaxwellReviresco]

Something to notemagazine testers, test cars when their job says to. Factors can be weather, track, DA & so on. Also in the back of the magazine where they have all the stats of every car the bottom states all cars are tested with throttle lift shifts, which can also account for a few tenths. Maybe that's why 1/4mil times vary so much, along with driver & etc. People that own the cars get more seat time too, & learn the cars every detail...we all know ZR1 demand seat time & a skilled driver.

[rjm12251980]

real nice run

[notbendable]

I watched 4 it times

[theapeman1989]

damn if he had slick he could have dropped a couple tenths in the 1/4,nice run.

[Dylan22190]

is INSIDELINE and Motortrend being chicken of this car cause they were only mustering 11.3sec at 130.5mph runs that means a well tuned with drag slicks zr1 is capable of 8.9 to early 9sec runs

[TEFLONTHADON]

high 9's yes, but 8.9's and low 9's? That's a good bit out of its reach atm lol. For damn sure not stock, it won't even hit 9's stock with slicks.

[05gt5]

Def a good run but by the looks of the tree u jumped it.

[GT5005]

Holy shit! he chirped 4th. This is the most bang for the buck car you can get

[MaxwellReviresco]

Wow a ZR1 that hooked up! too bad you don't see that often! :-( Great run man.

[jrc112278]

squealed/ scratched/ Chirped, however you wanna call it,, but 1, 2 , 3 and 4th on a bone stock car.. That is power!

[Ganbala]

is v8 baby is not a v6 tt awd for women is a car for men whit big hungry

[Ibanez91]

Chirpin 4th ftw

[GerryK61]

Ever here of the zoom feature on your camcorder? lol nice run but would have been nice to see the board clearly.

:)

[azrebels]

Its better not to zoom, you can actually see how fast the car runs.

[Ganbala]

NICE JOB

[saudikid]

it only squealed tires till 4rd gear not 4th.

[Wopadas]

It did indeed chirp 4th

[gdcod3player]

he shifted the first squeak so he wouldn't start spinning

[kiov526]

Awesome! Squealin the tires in 4th, gotta love it
