@Porschefanatic100 Kiddo you have no clue, best selling sports car and best in its class worlds best sports car twice beating them all. Audi owns Lamborghini :) Bye Bye
@Porschefanatic100 Not sure I agree with that. I'd love to see your face when you have well over 500hp under your right foot, a glorious sound behind your head, and 93 million miles of headroom. It's as real as a super car gets.
@IPGAuto That's not really correct, quattro puts power to where it's needed, and it isn't always at 60/40, this changes depending on the surface you are driving on, there's points where it can get to 85/15 if it needs to. Understeer has been an issue but there's a solution to that, keep turning the wheel if it doesn't go far enough.
@blazing6190 i would normally agree, but the zr1 isn't a convertible & i wouldnt classify it as "luxury sports car"...no matter how many times i hear the seats be complained about, i still believe its 1 of the best bang 4 ur buck "supercars"...i wouldnt compare it 2 the R8, though...
not really the type of numbers I would expect from such an expensive german supercar. 60-0 in 108 ft? I mean c'mon doesn't the new camaro do the same?
@2008calander. totally agree wit u bro......nd they should make it hard top convertable! it would look so better if the hard top color matches with the body color!!
@typhoon5000 but a 2011 V6 Mustang doesnt have the screaming howl of the Italian V10...... Whats the point when your car performs better but sounds like a lawnmower...
Oh that's why all the "g" figures you take are lower than the ones registered by any other. That's because you do the skidpad in fourth gear. Oh brilliant. Very smart
@MrGermancarlover I'm sorry you're Uneducated. Rubbish means garbage. Audi is a complete failure in the supercar world my friend. That 5.2 v10 is a water down gallardo engine. I say Ferrari. Fuck audi.
@MrGermancarlover Thats the scuderia. that's old news now. 458 italia my friend. Besides, With a rich racing history, Ferrari is the only true supercar in this world today. they're the benchmark, everybody else are just rivals. Come talk to me son, I'm waitng :)
@MrGermancarlover Fag. before you start calling me stupid. First of all let me spell (STRAIGHT) for you. 2nd of all read my comment carefully ok. Never said Ferrari was the FIRST supercar or sport car. Benchmark buddy.( Meaning) A standard of excellence/achievement. Feel like your're in grade nine again Jack ass?
@MrGermancarlover A bitch is a female dog, high school drop out. And i think your mom fits that description. Anyways if you challenge me, I will try to get my facts straight. You stated that the sls was the world's first true sport car? IT NEVER EXISTED. I think you meant the 300SL GULLWING. But I hate to burst your bubble. Morgan motor company holds that claim. The 300SL at that time was considered the world's 1st super car with a top speed of about 160 MPH. 9th grader
@EagleHANtsi i love how you came at my mom cuz you cant come back at me asshole lol and ohh thanks for proving ur dumb ass is wrong again 9th grader WTF
@EagleHANtsi ya they rule . the prove , they had to recall all 458 italia due to the rear break catching fire and the possibility of the engine doing the same , i am not gonna lie Ferrari looks great cosmetically but its engineering sucks . ok cock sucker :)
@MrGermancarlover Ok. if you suck cock, keep your secret to yourself. And tell me which car company does'nt suffer from some kind of mechanical set back? Man face it Ferrari is the best in the biz. Everybody on youtube can see your little fag comment. You keep sucking cocks. Pussy till I die. You're Brain washed
@dreampilot2 audi is better build, naturally aspirated engine in the middle to keep the weigh balanced. and its not plastic. I bet this car would last longer then any corvette. On the zr1, your pretty much paying for the engine, the interior is way crapier-plastic. Oh you can actually drive the r8 in snow!
@miketothesupra The ZR1 is faster better handling and is not made by plastic it's made out of carbon fiber and aluminum. The R8's interior is better but it costs $200,000 the ZR1 only costs $122,000. ZR1 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and it's a V8 beat that.
@dreampilot2 yea but the Zr1 has has a 6.2L V8 supercharged the Audi is a 5.2 N/A V10 to despite the extra 2 cylinders the the ZR1 engine is bigger and has forced induction too boot price wise who cares. some one will buy either cars. but what it all comes down to is preference. The German built Audi and its high tec-ness or the ever so ageing corvette with its 6.2 supercharged V8. Personally i would go with the Nissan GT-R just cuz its cheaper and its an exceptionally well (HAND BUILT) car!
@dreampilot2 Lap times don't tell you anything about handling. Why is it that it seems almost every American thinks a lap time translates directly to handling?
Either that or you can't answer my question. If it's all about lap times then why did the ZR1 do so badly against much less powerful cars in MotorTrend's Drivers COTY?
@StuRaz The ZR1 beat the ferrari 599, GTR, GT2, so I don't know where your getting your information from. The ZR1 scores top 10 on the Nurburgring lap time it's faster better than cars 5 times it's price.
dreampilot2: "I'm ignorant of your comment because I can't answer it"
The 599, GT2, and GT-R weren't even in this test. 3rd time - lap times don't tell you anything about handling. Now go and do what I told you before replying so you won't look so daft again.
@StuRaz Lap times obviously tell performance and handling of cars especially the Nurburgring, you are blind haha. If the ZR1 scored a better lap time than a 599, GT2, GTR, than what does that tell you?
dreampilot2: "I don't know anything about cars or understand handling".
5th time, lap times do not translate to handling. That tells you about grip & road holding and that's different from handling. A bad car can still set good lap times but only with pro drivers. The Lamborghini Countach is fast but nobody ever said it was a good car. See MotorTrend's Driver's COTY.
@dreampilot2 That's just what you've learnt erroneously from forum nerds & these videos trying to cover up a bad handling car with meaningless skid pan and slalom tests.
Handling is all about the feel of the car: weight, speed and feedback of the steering, brake feel and feedback, suspension travel, on the limit control, high speed stability, ability to cope on unpredictable tarmac (bumps, crests etc). As the word handling translates to control it immediately makes sense.
It got destroyed by EVO compared to the R8 V10, V12 Vantage and Porsche GT3. Clarkson couldn't keep it in a straight line on Top Gear, for the 6th time now it got demolished in MotorTrend's Driver's COTY next to a V8 R8 as well as 4 others.
Ever wondered why nobody else uses leaf springs combined with a terrible ladder chassis?
You're arguing a subjective measure and then trying to make an objective statement about the car. Surely you see the problem here...
I can pull up numbers from all over proving the Corvette and Z06 in various years faster than the R8 and R8 V10 around tracks. And thats without the power advantage of the ZR1. So if youre going to call a chassis terrible at least reference more than one car thats consistently faster. Feel is only half the story and never by itself showS how good a chassis is.
@MrCodPiece For the 7th time, lap times do not directly translate to lap times or slalom/skid pan tests. When are these ignorant fools like you going to stop wasting my time?
You just said "lap times do not translate directly to lap times", and that cars that are slower with no less power and no significant weight disadvantage are better because they have more "feel" ...yet I'm the ignorant fool.
@MrCodPiece Maybe you should tell that to the MotorTrend judge too who slammed the ZR1 compared to cars like the Mazda MX5 for the reasons I mentioned. Yet you hide behind your computer thinking you know more.
You just can't accept that your whole knowledge base that you've learnt erroneously from forum nerds has been turned inside out. You've been schooled, git.
@StuRaz the motortrend test was a competition based solely on feel, thats different from a jackoff like you on youtube implying that a car with less feel is worse than another even though it's as fast or faster with no HP advantage. Or can you not grasp the difference?
@dreampilot2 Is that some hopeless racism slur because you don't know how to talk cars so you'll try and turn it into a country debate? I've schooled you on all fronts, pussy.
@dreampilot2 Because you know of a few lap times that an infant could tell someone without any car knowledge? That's the pinnacle or immaturity and ignorance.
@dreampilot2 Now you've contradicted yourself. You don't know anything about cars, just a typical forum nerd who thinks that lap times tell him everything, which makes me think you've never driven a car before, or at best never driven two of them.
@dreampilot2 Are you talking about the most popular motor show the world has ever seen? You just slam them because they don't agree with you so you're pathetic by default.
Impressive car they're getting better too. Though I'm not too enthusiastic about the styling, but that's probably because I'm into classic sport & muscle cars.
6.2 Zr1? Aren't we forgetting the zo6? Last time I checked the zo6 had a 7.0L (aka 427cu. in. v8) believe it or not (according to motortrend & insideline)
The Z06 accelerates from 0 - 60 faster than Zr1.
Speaking of the Zr1, It still beats the R8 and GT-R in every single category.
@FANADICALCOWHEAD ok so the Z06 got into this how? .. this is a test of the ZR1 and the R8 the Z06 was impressive but is now more of a classic corvette. im just saying that of course the Zr1 has alot more advantages over the R8 by one of two things. 1. a bigger engine being that the Zr1 has a 6.2L V8 and the Audi and its 5.2 V10 and on top of the Zr1 having a bigger engine its also has the aid of a supercharger. so its no surprise that the Zr1 is faster.
@FANADICALCOWHEAD the R8 for what it is, is a very impressive car. The only thing that i dont like about the two is the price. thats y i said the GT-R is a better bang for the buck. But the R8s down side is its styling is u like it or u dont. The corvette is a great car but it needs a "new" look. the interior is very very old looking and the new front end looks like that off a Ferrari. thats to me is the only down fall with the corvette. speed means nothing if u cant show off the craftsmanship.
If the Zo6 is faster than the Zr1 from 0-60 and has very similar test numbers as the ZR1, Minus the top end speed and is anywhere between 65,000$ and 85,000$ in the end The Zo6 is the best bang for your buck. But my original statement was to point out that theres more to the new corvettes than just supercharged 6.2's.
On an unrelated note
if history repeats there might be a 6.5L v8 that'll be replacing the mere two year old LS3.
@FANADICALCOWHEAD Ok so whats ur point? if u also look the Zr1 engine is more efficient seeing is how it can produce 100 hp per liter. yea the 7.0 liter is great but its over kill in a modern production car look at cars like the supra and skyline they can get monstrous amounts of power out of straight 6s. and they will take the abuse just cuz they are exceptionally well built well tuned engines. As much as i like corvettes. There more an old mans sports car then young and trendy.
Actually, unless you already have turbo or twin turbo packages in those supra's, Rx7's, Skylines, 300z's, etc. But without turbo's and without any proper tunning those cars aren't as fast as you say they are, I should know seeing as I have every motortrend book from 1984 - 2010 and they all said the same thing. As for Supras and mazda's being in style? I doubt that too, a lot more kids these days are embracing muscle cars, the whole Supra and Rx7 scene died with the last fast & furious.
@FANADICALCOWHEAD the only problem i don like about Detroit is that they are big bulky and pigs on fuel!. To be honest the European cars seem to have takin the market in north america by storm. there are more BMW, VW, SAAB, Volvo ect on the roads more than ever. even Honda Nissan and Toyota are bigger than GM, Ford, Dodge. just cuz of value, build quality and performance and economy. dont get me wrong the big 3 use to build good stuff but outa the 3 ford seems top with there new Cars/trucks
@osvst dude it just looks like it cause there are 3 american companies while there are a shitload of foreign companies here, which just make american companies look smaller....bitch
@nwonknu8 LMAO! ok hers some enlightenment for ur tiny.... tiny brain. Ford owns Astion martin and Mazda and was the former owner of Volvo and Jaguar. Dodge use to be good buddies with Mitsubishi and was formally ownd by Mercedes-Benz and is now owned but the fiat group. And GM. well any of the newer Saturn's Pontiac Chevys are all based off anything that is built over in Europe such as Vauxhall and Opel. its a dog eat dog world after all. Bitch!
You realize that the intake manifold and fuel injection systems are roughly the same size on every car right? So it's no wonder that you'll only get 505hp with the 7.0L but if you were to alter the engine (Add more valves per cylinder) get a quad port intake manifold with four holly 750 carburetors, you too can have 100 + hp per liter and if you really want to get crazy you can slap a supercharger or turbo charger on that thing too. And guess what the ZR1 is a 100hp per liter engine :0
@FANADICALCOWHEAD it is and is not the same. all cars must try and maintain a 14:1 fuel ratio 14L of air to 1 liter of fuel to run the best and most optimal (stoichiometric ratio). intakes how ever can be short or long and can very in the delivery of the air flow. and anything once u add a turbo or a super charger to it now has the positional to reach any HP number u want. just dial up the boost advance or retard the spark dump more fuel and open up the intake and exhaust and HP is born!
@dreampilot2 dude i saw online the other day and the audis price started at 116k. and the other thing is that the corvette is supercharged. Look up on top gear review. They compare these two cars.
@miketothesupra Don't look it up on Top Gear review top gear is comedy show it doesn't represent the real performance of any car it actually says that in the beginning of the show. Take a look at motor trend or insidline those are official reviews.
@nypaul728 It's a lengthy explanation here but the term comes from drag strip. It's the distance where you need to creep up from pre-stage to full stage lights before you launch the car in a drag strip, so it lets the car roll. If you will, google "roll out drag" and you will find an article from inside line.. click it and you'll be able to know it more, hopes it help mate
i think with the right tuning. 15k worth of mods could get the 2011 mustang faster and better in every performance category... but hey its a super car,,,looks good and goes fast from the factory.
I always felt the R8's body never did its V10 justice. If you're gonna play up a glorious engine like that, you'd better have the looks to back it up.
@gasfgiop I guess I personally just find the R8 more appealing in body style than the Viper. But that's just my opinion, I didn't mean anything personal against you :)
First off this is the Spyder of the R8, which means it cost more cause its a convertible. The 458 Italia doesn't come in Spyder yet, and the Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder cost more than the R8 Spyder. Way more. If you were to compare prices the R8 V10 Coupe starts at 150s. While the LP560-4 and 458 start over 250K. Save up a little bit more? Try over 100K more. Audi R8 is what people consider as a "cheap luxurious super car" which is under 200K. GTR don't count for its not luxury.
@buttnut1080 dude, r8 is just around 120k-150k, the lp560-4 or 458 italia is over 250k+, 150k is super bargain for a super car and the performnce as close to lp560-4 or 458
@KarlowBOI Nope you are very misinformed. A decently equipped R8 V10 Spyder, which is the car in question, goes for around 185 to 190k and yes, that's correct. But no, the LP560-4 does not start at 250; in fact, not even the superleggera starts at 250. The 560 is around 200 and the 458 is a little more at 225. So what are you getting with the Audi? Nothing.
yeah but will it drift?

@miketothesupra The ZR1 is faster better handling and is not made by plastic it's made out of carbon fiber and aluminum. The R8's interior is better but it costs $200,000 the ZR1 only costs $122,000. ZR1 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and it's a V8 beat that.

@dreampilot2 yea but the Zr1 has has a 6.2L V8 supercharged the Audi is a 5.2 N/A V10 to despite the extra 2 cylinders the the ZR1 engine is bigger and has forced induction too boot price wise who cares. some one will buy either cars. but what it all comes down to is preference. The German built Audi and its high tec-ness or the ever so ageing corvette with its 6.2 supercharged V8. Personally i would go with the Nissan GT-R just cuz its cheaper and its an exceptionally well (HAND BUILT) car!

@osvst The ZR1 is hand built and it handles better than a GTR and Audi, take a look at the Nurburgring record lap times.
dreampilot2 1 year ago
@dreampilot2 Lap times don't tell you anything about handling. Why is it that it seems almost every American thinks a lap time translates directly to handling?
StuRaz 1 year ago
@StuRaz Because it's the nurburgring it's full of tight corners, the ZR1 handles better than the GTR and Audi R8 beat that.

Either that or you can't answer my question. If it's all about lap times then why did the ZR1 do so badly against much less powerful cars in MotorTrend's Drivers COTY?
StuRaz 1 year ago
@StuRaz The ZR1 beat the ferrari 599, GTR, GT2, so I don't know where your getting your information from. The ZR1 scores top 10 on the Nurburgring lap time it's faster better than cars 5 times it's price.

dreampilot2: "I'm ignorant of your comment because I can't answer it"
The 599, GT2, and GT-R weren't even in this test. 3rd time - lap times don't tell you anything about handling. Now go and do what I told you before replying so you won't look so daft again.
StuRaz 1 year ago
@StuRaz Lap times obviously tell performance and handling of cars especially the Nurburgring, you are blind haha. If the ZR1 scored a better lap time than a 599, GT2, GTR, than what does that tell you?
dreampilot2 1 year ago
dreampilot2: "I don't know anything about cars or understand handling".
5th time, lap times do not translate to handling. That tells you about grip & road holding and that's different from handling. A bad car can still set good lap times but only with pro drivers. The Lamborghini Countach is fast but nobody ever said it was a good car. See MotorTrend's Driver's COTY.
StuRaz 1 year ago
@StuRaz Grip and road holding are what handling is all about haha, please explain to me what is handling then?
dreampilot2 1 year ago
@dreampilot2 That's just what you've learnt erroneously from forum nerds & these videos trying to cover up a bad handling car with meaningless skid pan and slalom tests.
Handling is all about the feel of the car: weight, speed and feedback of the steering, brake feel and feedback, suspension travel, on the limit control, high speed stability, ability to cope on unpredictable tarmac (bumps, crests etc). As the word handling translates to control it immediately makes sense.
StuRaz 1 year ago
@StuRaz And the ZR1 has every single one of those so it is a good handling car.
dreampilot2 1 year ago
@dreampilot2 According to who?
It got destroyed by EVO compared to the R8 V10, V12 Vantage and Porsche GT3. Clarkson couldn't keep it in a straight line on Top Gear, for the 6th time now it got demolished in MotorTrend's Driver's COTY next to a V8 R8 as well as 4 others.
Ever wondered why nobody else uses leaf springs combined with a terrible ladder chassis?
StuRaz 1 year ago
You're arguing a subjective measure and then trying to make an objective statement about the car. Surely you see the problem here...
I can pull up numbers from all over proving the Corvette and Z06 in various years faster than the R8 and R8 V10 around tracks. And thats without the power advantage of the ZR1. So if youre going to call a chassis terrible at least reference more than one car thats consistently faster. Feel is only half the story and never by itself showS how good a chassis is.

StuRaz 1 year ago
@StuRaz the motortrend test was a competition based solely on feel, thats different from a jackoff like you on youtube implying that a car with less feel is worse than another even though it's as fast or faster with no HP advantage. Or can you not grasp the difference?

Impressive car they're getting better too. Though I'm not too enthusiastic about the styling, but that's probably because I'm into classic sport & muscle cars.
Oh and before I forget!
@osvst
6.2 Zr1? Aren't we forgetting the zo6? Last time I checked the zo6 had a 7.0L (aka 427cu. in. v8) believe it or not (according to motortrend & insideline)
The Z06 accelerates from 0 - 60 faster than Zr1.
Speaking of the Zr1, It still beats the R8 and GT-R in every single category.
Digest that my friend.
FANADICALCOWHEAD 1 year ago
@FANADICALCOWHEAD ok so the Z06 got into this how? .. this is a test of the ZR1 and the R8 the Z06 was impressive but is now more of a classic corvette. im just saying that of course the Zr1 has alot more advantages over the R8 by one of two things. 1. a bigger engine being that the Zr1 has a 6.2L V8 and the Audi and its 5.2 V10 and on top of the Zr1 having a bigger engine its also has the aid of a supercharger. so its no surprise that the Zr1 is faster.
osvst 1 year ago
@FANADICALCOWHEAD the R8 for what it is, is a very impressive car. The only thing that i dont like about the two is the price. thats y i said the GT-R is a better bang for the buck. But the R8s down side is its styling is u like it or u dont. The corvette is a great car but it needs a "new" look. the interior is very very old looking and the new front end looks like that off a Ferrari. thats to me is the only down fall with the corvette. speed means nothing if u cant show off the craftsmanship.
osvst 1 year ago
@osvst
If the Zo6 is faster than the Zr1 from 0-60 and has very similar test numbers as the ZR1, Minus the top end speed and is anywhere between 65,000$ and 85,000$ in the end The Zo6 is the best bang for your buck. But my original statement was to point out that theres more to the new corvettes than just supercharged 6.2's.
On an unrelated note
if history repeats there might be a 6.5L v8 that'll be replacing the mere two year old LS3.
FANADICALCOWHEAD 1 year ago
@FANADICALCOWHEAD Ok so whats ur point? if u also look the Zr1 engine is more efficient seeing is how it can produce 100 hp per liter. yea the 7.0 liter is great but its over kill in a modern production car look at cars like the supra and skyline they can get monstrous amounts of power out of straight 6s. and they will take the abuse just cuz they are exceptionally well built well tuned engines. As much as i like corvettes. There more an old mans sports car then young and trendy.
osvst 1 year ago
@osvst
Actually, unless you already have turbo or twin turbo packages in those supra's, Rx7's, Skylines, 300z's, etc. But without turbo's and without any proper tunning those cars aren't as fast as you say they are, I should know seeing as I have every motortrend book from 1984 - 2010 and they all said the same thing. As for Supras and mazda's being in style? I doubt that too, a lot more kids these days are embracing muscle cars, the whole Supra and Rx7 scene died with the last fast & furious.

@FANADICALCOWHEAD the only problem i don like about Detroit is that they are big bulky and pigs on fuel!. To be honest the European cars seem to have takin the market in north america by storm. there are more BMW, VW, SAAB, Volvo ect on the roads more than ever. even Honda Nissan and Toyota are bigger than GM, Ford, Dodge. just cuz of value, build quality and performance and economy. dont get me wrong the big 3 use to build good stuff but outa the 3 ford seems top with there new Cars/trucks

@osvst
You realize that the intake manifold and fuel injection systems are roughly the same size on every car right? So it's no wonder that you'll only get 505hp with the 7.0L but if you were to alter the engine (Add more valves per cylinder) get a quad port intake manifold with four holly 750 carburetors, you too can have 100 + hp per liter and if you really want to get crazy you can slap a supercharger or turbo charger on that thing too. And guess what the ZR1 is a 100hp per liter engine :0
FANADICALCOWHEAD 1 year ago
@FANADICALCOWHEAD it is and is not the same. all cars must try and maintain a 14:1 fuel ratio 14L of air to 1 liter of fuel to run the best and most optimal (stoichiometric ratio). intakes how ever can be short or long and can very in the delivery of the air flow. and anything once u add a turbo or a super charger to it now has the positional to reach any HP number u want. just dial up the boost advance or retard the spark dump more fuel and open up the intake and exhaust and HP is born!

@nypaul728 It's a lengthy explanation here but the term comes from drag strip. It's the distance where you need to creep up from pre-stage to full stage lights before you launch the car in a drag strip, so it lets the car roll. If you will, google "roll out drag" and you will find an article from inside line.. click it and you'll be able to know it more, hopes it help mate

@buttnutt1080
First off this is the Spyder of the R8, which means it cost more cause its a convertible. The 458 Italia doesn't come in Spyder yet, and the Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder cost more than the R8 Spyder. Way more. If you were to compare prices the R8 V10 Coupe starts at 150s. While the LP560-4 and 458 start over 250K. Save up a little bit more? Try over 100K more. Audi R8 is what people consider as a "cheap luxurious super car" which is under 200K. GTR don't count for its not luxury.

@KarlowBOI Nope you are very misinformed. A decently equipped R8 V10 Spyder, which is the car in question, goes for around 185 to 190k and yes, that's correct. But no, the LP560-4 does not start at 250; in fact, not even the superleggera starts at 250. The 560 is around 200 and the 458 is a little more at 225. So what are you getting with the Audi? Nothing.
