ZR1 Vette Full Throttle - NAS Pensacola Runway

[rmf09024]

this is a slow run, real slow compared to its true potential, watch zr1 standing mile

[mosgrebe]

0-60 in 4 seconds!!!

[wispolice]

actually 3.3 technically speaking ..

[arivette2010]

@mosgrebe 3 not 4

[snr3275]

he didnt give out the perfomance i was lookin for..!!

[lutherbrowning]

Be careful with those Jet pilots! When I was younger I raced motocross. Some of the student pilots from a near by NAS brought their 250 enduros over to race. We snickered. After they blew our doors off we snickered no more. The student pilots first time on a motocross track. When the base commander heard of it, that stopped their fun. He did not want his million dollar babies hurt. Bikes are fast but on a road course they can only pull 1.22 G. Racing vette 1.7 G.

[deimos2k6]

Armandah puzzy.

[ClumzyThief666]

well if you dumbasses watch the full video, you'd know that its some young jet pilot driving... i wouldn't expect him to match the claimed times...

[dajedkman]

this is a warm up run. antoine is driving. and hes a fat fuck. the navy pilot could have done better, hes a fucking pilot. how hard is it to shift and hold onto a steering wheel? hes flying an f18.

[praetorian2150]

the pilot shifted better than arthur did though lol. he didnt stay in it long enough though :(

[Choirboyjr11]

he took it to easy and he and the car wasnt warmed up it was just a practice run

[iiredeye]

Every time I watch one of these in car videos of the ZR1 it fails to match it's claimed numbers. On another Motortrend clip a ZR1 out drags a 599, but in the time it took this car to reach 170 the Ferrari would be doing over 185, how is this possible?

[sexyitalian891]

And in the time it took this corvette to get 170 a gsxr 1000 costing 13 grand could max itself and come to a complete stop.

[iiredeye]

Oh yes I know what that feels like. I have been riding bikes on off since '86. Gixer 1000 ,0-100 well under 6secs nothing feels like it. But best bike for fun I ever owned '88 Yamaha TZR250,it turned every road into a race track......Awesome memories!

[sexyitalian891]

The gixxer would pull away from this car even if both were at 150. My god this seems so slow lol.

[iiredeye]

Seems a bit harsh calling 0-170mph in 30secs slow but I think I know what you mean.

[arturzan32]

Maybe it depends on a driver.

[XFUCK3R]

you just right

big claims

nothing to back up

a fucking f40 is faster

[0spaceboy]

its because motortrend be fuckin leing

[toyotas2006]

Ran out of tarmac

It reaches 200

[jjIQ135]

what the hack, why did he only get up to 160, in other vids he has got up to 200

[praetorian2150]

not gonna lie after seeing modded out zr1 vids make this one looks so slow :) respect is due however

[longcut88]

scientists are doing an experiment on swithing our opticals so that we see music and hear the sun...

[praetorian2150]

wat the hell are u talking about lol and how did this get into a zr1 video comment

[meldon100]

lol

[fuckyou631993]

my daewoo quad turbo would eat that shit alive

[ZR1Terror]

I don't know but it seems like the Z06 picks up faster

[SSSDiaz7]

it only looks like it in the video because I think he was going for top speed and not acceleration figure

[Barrymaxx]

Those brakes had to be glowing

[bigblockmustang]

Ok.. how about 10 seconds @ 136 Mph.. My car don't need a landing strip.. Lol

Les

[kief4diamonds]

he shoulda be jerkin them gears. that wasnt flat out...that looked like a first try. before he raced that jet.

just sayin

get pissed idc!

[DaveTheyCallme]

Coming out of first gear at 60 mph ... pretty amazing. Doesnt look like he was going 171 mph , but he was.

[HAACKER45]

I want to see a drag race between the ZR-1 and the Ford GT.

[dhoytw]

ZR-1>Ford GT

[1SirCarlton]

nooo....the Ford GTX1 =)

[goodkid234]

i dont see y a zr1 is so great. if u have a

zo6 you get better accelaration and only 2-5 miles per hour less. and when you by a car that fast how often are you going even 150 or 160.

[Jovannash]

12am on the highway 150 at least i know i do and my car not even half as fast as a zr1 but i get what ur sayin like thats not an everyday car a zo6 is and its all motor

[cass2chk]

think something of its practical use...ride away from your nagging in-laws.....car shit only for the boastful

[TheVtieg6]

That car is mental!

[skyman95946]

60 mph in first gear!

[Stangfan88]

So the governor hits at 180?

[Russell042]

No, thats all he could do on that mile long strip, the vette can hit 205 mph

[sno9r]

that sucked. I got 0-124(200km/h) in 13.3

A Carrera GT does that in 9.9

[AlvinHDavernport]

Yeah, well, have you seen the price difference between a ZR1 and a Carrera GT?

It is absolutely ludicrous to compare those two cars. They're in two different segments.

[sno9r]

You got a point there, but I'm thinking more that they got almost the same power and weight...

both rear wheel drive too

[AlvinHDavernport]

I'm thinking more that a $330,000 price difference means Porsche is able to pack a LOT more technology and R&D in their GTs than Chevrolet in their ZR1s.

The Carrera GT is the flagship sports car of a high-end sports car company. The ZR1 is a Chevrolet Corvette on steroids. There's a huge difference, my friend.

The sad thing is that most high-end Porsches are still more expensive than the ZR1, and save for the Carrera GT, the ZR1 trumps 'em all.

[sno9r]

yes my friend, i know corvettes are just plastic and cheap.

But technology or not, that should matter as much in a straight line.

So our conclusion is= corvette sucks the biggest dick on earth?

[AlvinHDavernport]

No, our conclusion is that the Corvette IS the big dick of the industry, as it offers more performance than any car within a $100,000 range from its price. It obliterates cars that are twice as expensive and it is absolutely pointless to compare it with the Porsche Carrera GT, a car on which a lot more money was invested. Let's not compare apples and albino orangutans my friend ;)

[sno9r]

No matter how much money the company invested, they still have the same weight and power, and you just can't get away from that they have to be compared.

The 430 Scuderia and the 997 GT2 are about $100k (or so) apart from each other, and Ferrari may spent a whole lot more on development, but they are still compared all the time, aren't they, "my friend"?

[AlvinHDavernport]

The GT2 vs. Scuderia? Nice try, but the price difference between those cars is about $100k, not $330k. Both the GT2 and the Scuderia are tuned up versions of rivaling cars, which means BOTH SHARE PURPOSE AND NATURE. Not the case with the CGT and the ZR-1.

Never mind the power and weight similarities, it's ridiculous to compare an ultra-high-end, extravagant oddity like the GT and a pumped up 'Vette. Most people here know it and that's why they're not paying attention to your comparison.

[sno9r]

Isn't that exactly what i wrote? Allow me to quote myself: "The 430 Scuderia and the 997 GT2 are about $100k (or so) apart from each other"

Fuck you man, why do you even comment here..?

[AlvinHDavernport]

Did you even read my comment? I told you, very nice try, but you fail miserably because the comparisons are not parallel. I'll explain it to you like you're a six-year-old, which seems to be the case:

The F430 Scuderia and the Porsche GT2 are direct competitors. Despite the price difference, they were conceived under the similar circumstances. Therefore, they are compared.

The Carrera GT and the ZR1 are NOT direct competitors. They exist on different spheres and, despite the power (continued)

[AlvinHDavernport]

and weight similarities, they were conceived under VERY DIFFERENT circumstances. Therefore, they are NOT compared.

Bottom line, Scuderia and GT2 are rivals, but CGT and ZR1 are NOT, so your comment makes no sense whatsoever.

Why do I comment here? Because I want to and because I hate bullies like you who bash the Vette just because it is not an exotic European. You, one the other hand, dropped the F-bomb, which means you're bluffing, which means you know you're being unreasonable. (Cont'd)

[AlvinHDavernport]

So yeah, everything's been said. I rest my case, and I'm not going to bother replying to you now. It would be useless. Plus, you're starting to bluff, so I guess you have nothing to say but to insult me, which, let me tell you, doesn't offend me a bit.

Nice try, though.

[sno9r]

your comments is enough to publish a book dude...

Circumstances? What the fuck are you talking about? When you got two cars who are pretty much identical on the paper to a comparison @ the track, would you cancel the test because of "construction circumstances"?

haha, that argument was just plain stupid

when corvette decided to build such a car, they can't defend that their car performs worse because they did it the cheap way.

please do not respond, I've had enough of you being a fool.

[k6k6k6Darkie]

The Corvette weighs almost 300 lbs more than the Carrera GT, how is that similar weight?

[sno9r]

The Ferrari F430 weighs 262 lbs more than the Lambo Gallardo, but aren't they competitors still?

also: the Corvette is more powerful than the Carrera GT....

[k6k6k6Darkie]

Actually it's the other way around. The F430 weighs about 3,200 lbs and the Gallardo weighs about 3,500 lbs.

[sno9r]

you're right man, my bad! ;)

[654321yhtaeD]

yea..... and with the extra cash u get from the ZR1 u could smoke anything.....

[sgman92]

yea think of all the weed you could get... oh so many possibilities

[miamiforlyfe]

@AlvinHDavernport NO actually the ZR1 is faster than the fuck ass carrera GT

[torontocaper]

ya considering it has been clocked it just over 11 sec at over 130 mph in the 1/4 mile

[IxOVERKILLxI]

a carrera gt is muck ore expensive and rare

[PrintNameHere]

This is true.

[simon3456789]

who gives a fuck

[IxOVERKILLxI]

alot of people care,i wasnt just saying it, i was responding to some ones comment who said the carrera gt was basicly faster and better, so thats why i said that

[sno9r]

seriously?

[IxOVERKILLxI]

yea

[ViperVenomACR]

\\\V!PER 4 Life

[ImbiberOfBrew]

I've seen the zr1 go much faster than that. Wonder why he didn't top it out?

[D0M1N8R1x]

ran out of road..

[dukviper90]

dude, that is a mile runway. you want him to go off into the grass crash and die?

[lt1kevin]

When was motortrend in pensacola, I live like 5 mins from NAS base, Dammit!!!

[nivrin13]

this guys just couldnt reach the top speed

they already tried it, and they reached 202mph or something

the pilot just reved to much, instead of going easier

[shehabnabil]

top speed of the ZR-1 is 206.4 mph

top speed of the GT-R 35 is195.2 mph

[andy0902]

Doesnt seem all that fast?

[CobraMarty]

It's the width of the runway, and the long stripes in the middle, and there being no trees that makes it seem so slow...

[electrikoptik]

GT-R is better and faster.

[nivrin13]

how come? -_-

[RyanTheSinger]

it's not faster, but i agree with the better part. GT-R for the win!

[Weazell]

it's not faster, but I could respect the better opinion. To each their own

[asdfgoogle]

Wow that was insanely fast!!!

[maxnanabas09]

V8 all the way!!

[dudeman777us]

It only goes 171 mph?

[gyro231995]

60 MPH in first gear.

[stigger91]

So could the Ford GT.... both are very quick to 60 partly cause of that :D

[OneOfaKind949]

Looks like 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. Not bad... Though I'll always be a GTR fan.

[gyro231995]

Who isn't?

[krimd00t]

3.3 actually, and to the guy above no it doesnt go only 171, he stopped accelerating at 1 mile

[anthony6151]

The guy could have shifted quicker, he was grannny shifting that motha fucka.

[jlarry1]

eff that, he's no f1 driver but that was quite quick!

[anthony6151]

It wasn't that quick, but I understand that he couldn't have beat on that thing because it wasn't his. Also F1 drivers drive cars that have straight cut gears with a sequential transmission.

[GTRnev8820]

fast shit LOL

[HiShBL2]

If that stimulater gauge was real , ????????

I mean , come on that's very very slow for the ZR1 !!!! it cant be the real acceleration right?

[ayk1987]

How is it slow. It when from 0-120mph in 11 seconds!

[Yoda8232]

They could of went faster.

[jakemertz]

Seventh

[taterguy17]

not a first fail but still a fail

[halflife103]

i thought it could go faster? im not a huge chevy guy but i mgiht be wrong.

[XxSTICH666xX]

Yes it can he just stopped before he ran out of runway.

[halflife103]

yea kinda thought so, this car is supposed t beat the nissan GTR so, it has to be fast

[Z3RO0RD1E]

He had to slow down before the 'Vette caught flight.

[lucasjpot]

is there actually a digital spedo or is that just a representation of the speed?

[XxSTICH666xX]

Digital HUD.

[lucasjpot]

thanks. I didn't think they would put something like that in a $100,000 + Corvette.

[XxSTICH666xX]

Even the base model has it. And the Cadillac XLR.

[TMWarMoth]

rofl "digital speedo"

[Atheismrulez]

Too much wind resistance.

[goonboat]

i want one

[ShadowFyre89]

freaking awesome!

[yangbwoi]

damn

[hugedoinker]

damn
