  • Damn...that Porsche was on it off the line! & 13's in the 1/4 really?...I wonder how accurate that is, bc that's horrible. This track seems slippery though too.

  • Here's a comparison by a euro race car driver in these 2 cars bone stock. Drag and Circuit! ZR1 wins even when the euro man is sure its the porche before he begins!  /watch?v=xJx85diM3IE

  • whoa

  • It´s not a usual ZR1 with 647 hp. These one has 745hp. So we have a tuned 6.2L ZR1 engine and tuned 3.6L Porsche engine. The fact is, Corvette is a great and cheap car but with old-stoned-engineering; No innovations. This engineering (camshalft, 2 valve, leaf spring) was 30 year ago in EU and Japan. BUT it works! (with small innovations: spezial surface on pistons and cylinders)

    My opinion: I prefer the Porsche with better ride and much better traction.

  • Actually this isnt case closed.. dont get me wrong, I like a fast car.. but lets play faie boys.. that was a switzer 750 porsche turbo PDK.. if i'm not mistaken.. he 750 stands for horse power.. we all know a standard turbo would have a hard time walking away from a ZR1, a turbo-S would take the 1/4 mile but lose the 1/2 mile and beyound due strictly to horse power. Lets stop the America bashing.. were not be-smirching your mother country.

  • the vette launch like a grandma and turned his windshield wipers on....

  • It seems to me that this driver couldnt handle the ZR1. As you can see at 0:38 the windshield wipers are on.

  • funny talking euro people see a corvette lose and act like its the greatest thing since slice bread lol if you yhink american cars havent proven anything on euro circuits please do you history because clearly most of uoi are talking out of your ass

  • The Americans are all talk about their ZR1. What they do not realize is that it requires a truely special driver to make them go around a track that fast. Something that is a very rare commodity in a place like the United States. The Porsche 911 Turbo is just fast, period. And it'll outlast the ZR1 by at least 80,000 miles.

  • @englandish43 ok the zr1 is much cheaper those cars are beat lambos and gtrs and the porsche is fast but it cost hella money

  • @englandish43

    Bullshit, Chevrolet has always been known for reliability and it's only gotten better over the years. A Porsche outlasting a Chevrolet, now that's a funny joke. There's no way that 'Vette should be running in the thirteens. Driver in the ZR1 couldn't launch it for shit, Porsche has better weight distribution. Should have been a lot closer.

  • @englandish43 I don't think there is a Porsche out there that has even made it to 80,000 miles without having to rebuild/replace that piece of shit transmission.

  • @jcordova93 I do see an awful lot more classic 911s driving around than Corvettes from the same period. :P

  • @englandish43 A European classic is very different from an American classic. American classics turn into valuable collectibles that are appreciated whereas European classics lose major value the older they get. They become cheap sources of transportation. It takes much longer for an old Euro car to gain value than an American made car.

  • @jcordova93 You obviously don't get out much because last time I checked, classic DB5s, XKs, and Daytonas fetch a much greater price than the majority of classic Camaros, Chevelles, or 'Vettes. They're all awesome machines, but you can't pretend that Europe has nothing good out there for collectors. In fact, considering that Europeans did indeed INVENT the automobile, it stands to reason that most "classic" and "appreciated" cars originated overseas. That's just the way it is.

  • @englandish43 I give plenty of credit to both American and European car Manufactures. Dont get me wrong England does make some of the most luxurious automobiles. But all classics are different, you put some of the rarest European cars up against the most common classic American cars. My arguement was Porsche, audi, volkswagon classics vs Corvette, Camaro,etc.sorry for not being so specific. But if you want to be rare about it, how about the american made Tucker automobile.

  • @englandish43 I'm pretty sure anyone around the world would love a chance to get a hold of a car like the Tucker. But like I said, I give plenty of credit to both sides.

  • @jcordova93 Those cars are a lot more common over there than they are in the US. Cars like the '69 Camaro are actually rarer than gold dust in Europe for the same reason. Cars that are "common" in this part of the world may be rare in other parts of the world. V6 Mustangs are ten a penny in the States, but are super expensive in Europe because of the exclusivity. I do agree however that in the case of the classic German automobiles, only a few models have actually appreciated in value. 

  • @englandish43 Well put, I have never been to Europe before but I have to say that the hype up of German automobiles is getting a little old, German automobiles do not appeal to me at all and I do not feel that you get your moneys worth with their cars. Same goes for Ferrari or Lamborghini, I do however feel comfortable about buying an Austin Martin or maybe even a Rolls Royce for their high prices, but then again, I do not look at the English car manufactures the same. The English people take

  • @englandish43 pride and joy in there automobiles so they in turn become quality vehicles, whereas german manufactures are just money hungry and they can see a big profit in throwing their top brand cars together and importing them to the US.

  • all you americans talk shitt put a reall driver are you seriouse ! why do think the guy in the vette modded hes car to fucking race he pushed the shit out of that vette but all that came out was more shit hahahahhaaa

  • TOTAL HUMILIATION OF A HYPED AMERICAN PIECE OF SHIT MUSCLE,ITS OVER NOW,JUST AS IT IS FOR THE ZO6 TOO!!!!!!!!!LOL!

  • regardless of the outcome. all american cars manage, is straight lines and banked ovals.... F1 breeds legends, nascar inbreeds. "oh fuck you, i love v8 they r best" fuck off!

  • @ramboormark You're either retarded or just don't know what you're talking about.

  • @iPROFITDON so americans don't have nascar? and europe isn't the biggest influence in F1? lets agree nascar is for the simpleton?

    majority of american people drive automatics anyway, their brains can't handle a manual, whereas my grandma drives manual and its normal in europe.

    I drove a mustang 5.0 when i was in the usa and it could go in a straight line ok, but the cornering was abysmal...

  • @ramboormark Le Mans, ALMS, FIAGT, British GT, GT Tour, Spa 24 hour, Belcar, just a few championship the Viper alone has won. Not counting the GT, Mosler, Corvette, S7, Panoz, etc.

    Regardless of what you believe to be true, just because American cars are the kings of all forms of drag racing, American cars handle just fine, look at lap times of stock cars around the world.

    If the 5.0 handling was abysmal, then the BMW M3s handling must be just as bad

  • @iPROFITDON being the king of a sport where you're the only competitor isn't an achievement. drag is shit. not opinion, fact. american cars are notorious for bad handling. the 5.0 suspension was so soft when you accelerate your looking at the sky. fair enough it has alot of power, but i cant see it being the same handling as an M3. ive never driven an M3.

  • @ramboormark The only competitor? You're more clueless than I thought. Gear heads don't downplay other forms of motor sports, but accept the skill it takes to compete in each.

  • Who the fuck is driving the corvette there is no way a zr1 would make 13 sec 1/4 mile the driver most be a Drunk Woman lol

  • @satyriki Yep, 2-3 seconds off....

  • porsche 911 tunde zr1 stock !

  • Clueless ZR1 driver, considering it does 11.1 1/4 ET with someone capable.

  • WOAAAAAAAAAAAH this porsche is freaking fast

  • the vette closed the cap, give him 20 more yards and the vette will win.

  • And oddly enough the Porsche is actually heavier by a couple hundred lbs(100kg) and rear engine AWD helps it accelerate from 0 much better.

  • Actually it's a 3.8 liter twin turbo H6 and the zr1 is a 6.2 v8.

  • 3.4 v6 beats a 7.0 v8 in a drag race...hahaha Americans have nothing in the car industry

  • @xKriZ765x Oh yeah totally. Do you not think about it at all. Stock vs Stock the ZR1 is faster in the 1/4. The ZR1 is faster around a track even though its front engine RWD. We constantly compete with the hardest platforms you dumbass. If we decided to make the corvette AWD we would destroy the worlds cars. We like to show off by using the most difficult platform. Americans are about fun. We dont have a stick up our ass like European Youtuber's!

  • @KCWhoa Really because if i remember the world fastest car competition that the yanks took part in hasnt gone to plane. Hennesy venom, not quite as fast as the veyron ss. And that transtar will go bankrupt. American cars cannot compete with Europe for a good car. But for fun the Elenor Ford mustag gt500 wins over my heart

  • @xKriZ765x In what race does the veyron compete? The SSC was made by chevy and bugatti had to come out with the Veyron SS just to re establish themselves. Transtar? Transtar is a transmission company, who cares. America has made plenty of cars as good as the euro's. My 98 buick park avenue has more feature's, gets better gas mileage, rides nicer, and last's longer then a merc from its era. Europe makes complicated shit thats over priced and uncomfortable.

  • @KCWhoa Actully Transtar helps with alot of the rocket stuff with NASA so yhh get ur facts right. And lets not forget that the veyron is a everyday car that weighs 2tonnes has a/c and cupholders with space for four. SSC dosent

  • it's called all-wheel-drive and rain lol

  • Window wipers?! 0:40

  • 13.1 ???? I'm no GM fan, but it seems like you could drive one backwards faster than that.

  • @camargo2012 yeah i know that zr1 its extremly fast but the porsche 911 turbo with 750 hp its even faster man... I guess it can do a 0-60 in less than 2.7 easily because a stock one makes it in 3 secs with 500hp and also it launches extremly fast because of the awd against the zr1 750hp rwd, it takes a lot to get that zr1 going fast

  • be honest here. the guy driving the vette had no clue wtf he was doing. a stock c5 vette with the ls1 runs 13's. this vid is a joke.

  • @mlite2go hennessey corvette ZR750 (750 HP) does 0-60 2.9 seconds and runs the 1/4 mile in 10.3 seconds @ 139 mph... in this video was either the drivers fault or the crap engineering of the aftermarket manufacturer.

  • @camargo2012 with rwd? 2.9 from 0-60? sounds impossible to me..

  • @demorider lol impossible? l0l go to hpdesign youtube channel and see for yourself!

  • @camargo2012 hpedesign 

  • @camargo2012 send me the link if u can

  • @demorider of the drag

  • @demorider i sent you a link trough pm

  • @camargo2012 i saw this one before...it sounds amazing and all..but just think its impossible for a rwd to do 2.9 from 0-60 with regular tyres im sure it will do very good from 0-120 or something like that but the start cant be as good as s awd

  • @demorider dude...if you ever drove a porsche or lamborghini you will clearly notice that awd cars are more difficult to make them take off correctly than RWD.. FYI hennessey built the venom GT which hits 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and guess what? it is RWD.....

  • @camargo2012 lol venom GT's engine is in the back...corvette has its engine on the front..theres no way (same car) a rwd can make it to 60 as fast as a awd.

  • @demorider it doesnt matter l0l...

  • @mlite2go is the street on street tires the vette have traction problems

    is a soap

  • no way... that all i have to say

  • What a terrible driver in the vette if he can only do a 1/4 mile in 13.125 seconds...

  • oh vette..USA power..

  • corvette lost bcuz it had so much wheel spin bcuz of its power so it takes a while for it to actually start going fast

  • tell me why vette driver didnt use launch control? terrible start for the vette

  • el corvette zr1 yo lo tengo so de texas me sali 1,500,000 uno asi y ya me di con un porsche y un audi r8 y me la pelaron elc orvette es una maquita maldita el corvette lo amo

  • the vette won give atleast 30 more yards and the vette will rape the 911, the fact that the 911 took off faster , and the vette caught up, the vette won.

  • man the porsche is smaller lighter and has 50 more horses give it another 50 yards and the vette will rape it.

  • ZR1 0-100 3.1 sec! and is one of the fastest cars in the world

    Check time-lap on Nordschleife, Germany (20600 m)

    Corvette ZR1 is fast like the Radical SR3 Turbo and is faster than Ferrari Enzo, Maserati MC12, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi R8, Koenigsegg CCX and mutch more..

    In "dragtimes" drivers are car owners, NOT professional drivers!! And Corvette is hard for driving, but one of best car on the world!

  • @phoexander ITS THE GERMANS MALTREATING THE AMERICANS AGAIN,IT EVEN THE ALMIGHTY ZR1 GETTING ITS BALLS CARESSED NOW, WHEN WOULD THIS PUNISHMENT END?

  • @phoexander now jokes apart,you must have thought your ZR1 is all that fast reading those manipulative american car mags,here is the real world babe,listen carefully,whenever u put the same power and race against a german car in that american pile of shit of yours.. its over!the video here is just TOTAL HUMILIATION OF THE ZR1 case closed!

  • @kay19833 Are you retarded, our cars are always faster and for half the price. You have come up with this conclusion from seeing one retard race. If you think anyone is going to build faster drag cars, then the drag capitol of the world, you sir are an idiot! We just prefer fun over function... Yeah we could make it AWD and walk GTR's, of course we could throw the motor in the back to handle with a porche. We just arent pussy's and we will beat you the hard way just 4 the fun of it!

  • @KCWhoa like i said,case is closed!! i really feel your pain and agony watching what the 3.6 ltr german engine did to your ALMIGHTY 7ltr corvette(OMG! 7ltr),i would be depressed too,yes i admit the Porsche SPANKED the living daylight out of the useless Zr1 but thats not enough reason to be suicidal about. just smoke a little something, relax,and watch the BUTTDRILL over and over again,bow down to something greater than u folish americans!. buahahahaaa!! can't stop laughing!

  • @kay19833 Im sorry, you must be handicap. Watch any other video, because this driver is shit. The ZR1 stock runs a mid 11. The only aspect the 911 wins is 0-60 by .5 seconds because its motor is sitting on the drive wheels. The ZR1 runs faster lap times and faster 1/4 mile times. Chances are these cars were both modified and the corvettes power was so excessive he couldnt get off the line. So do your homework! You can be proud but dont be dumb!

  • The ZR1 is a low 12 second car in the 1/4 mile. How is it a 13.1 second in this video?

    Simple, the ZR1 driver is a moron.

    Judging how the ZR1 was catching the Porsche in the top half of the race, this would have been a completely different outcome if the ZR1 driver knew how to launch the Vette!

  • @MrYourassismine He was but, the Porsche's launch control is phenomenal.

  • @MrPajamaSamurai Its not phenomenal. Its motor is sitting on the drive wheels. It hardly even needs it!

  • @MrYourassismine U honestly think the vette can beat the Porsche?

  • @MrYourassismine when you pathetic yanks LOOSE then all we hear is endless excuses about its driver,just accept the fact that your plastic piece of shit car called corvette just got drilled a new butthole by an ultimate engineering piece from germany.i iknow it hurts i can feel u guys pain.hmm.

  • @kay19833 Listen you pathetic little Nazi buttmonkey, I don't give a shit for either the Corvette or the Porsche. I like them both, but 13.1 quarter mile for a ZR1 is a fucking joke. That Corvette driver should be shot. The ZR1 is capable of a faster quarter mile than 13.1 in your stupid little race.

    I'll put up a ZR1 here in the US and smoke that Porsche with a shitty driver and all you Nazi dickfarmers in Germany will be crying. Fuck you.

  • @kay19833 LOL, the porche has a lot more plastic buddy but regardless everything is plastic these days. Regardless it was either the driver or the alterations they made. The ZR1 stock runs 11.5 and is much faster around the track which is supposed to be the aspect you guys lead on. We turned our straight line front engine monster into a Euro Eater. There's no pain buddy. Were lucky enough to live in america. Its others we feel empathy towards!

  • vette drivers know nothing about lunch control, or was he sleeping?

  • Why bother dissing the cars, I would love either one. Whoever was driving the ZR1 though didnt do a good job, 13 sec 1/4?

  • american crappy piece of plastic

  • @Ovrful zr1 is mostly carbon fiber?

  • this is just basic physics -_- a Porsche has essentially the same HP as a Corvette but the Corvette weighs more, the Vette was catching up at the end but it starts slow

  • @tigran914 The Corvette weights around 1450 kilos,the Turbo weights around 1630,and then you have to add another 30 kilos because this one has PDK...The Vette has the better Power/Weight ratio,but the Turbo has a better transmission and AWD.

  • @f14tomcatfreak well that's news to me, i was comparing the weight from a different porsche that was at a thousand kilos but i guess the weights different, well you learn something new everyday i guess

  • Europe fucks the whole world!! They have the most awsome cars!!

  • fuck porscha, and fuck u "its porsche"

  • european cars are the best....

  • Those tests are so wrong. Porsche drivers always start before...

  • prior to this statement i just wanna say im not die hard american car, nor am i die hard import, but the fact of the matter is that the person in this video clearly does not know how to drive that vette.

  • porsches are go-carts

  • Crack start for the 'vette

  • The corvete driver suck or its fake competition. :SS!!!!

  • @sourceofflames sorry but ur shameless 7.0 american piece of crap just got DESTROYED by a simple 3.4 german masterpiece.cry us a river fanboy!

  • @kay19833 omg screw you

  • God drives Porsche!!!

    :D :D

  • @GermanyLuca yes he does brother!

  • blah blah blah, europe yet again beats america!!

  • And what about their stock versions ? 647 hp for ZR1, 500 or 550 for Turbo (S)....

  • Corvette messed up his run when he put the wipers on and increased his drag.

  • oooh...stupid american cars :)

  • @Header616

    stupid russian drivers too 

  • OMG WHAT A STUPİD DRİVER İN CORVETTE 

  • @Header616 stupid driver u mean? ,l, asshole

  • @Header616 stupid non american drivers

  • that was rape

  • I can't even drive a manual and I would do a better 1/4 mile in that Vette....

  • mustve been a woman driving

  • yeah the driver must suck. the stock normal 638 hp zr1 runs somewhere around 10 on 1/4.

  • haha what was he thinking?? Porsche RULEZ!

  • europe just pwned america once again :D

  • ZR-1 13.1 sec 1/4 mile... looks like someone missed 1-2 & 2-3

  • 0:39 The ZR1's back is moving!!!

  • 0:30 hear at this orgasmic sound from ZR1 <3

  • that's what we called push-rods lol

    

  • @u238fist shut up loser, you blue collar meat head

  • ебаная реклама, сука

  • Guys give the vette driver a break... he did every thing he could... even tried the windshield wipers XD

  • @G8kills just shows he was on a Sunday drive and not really racing

  • @G8kills haha :D

  • @G8kills which by the way were slow too...

  • @G8kills he used the windshield wipers to clean off his corvette's tears xD

  • fucking horrible start did he drop his ice cream or something before starting?

  • Americans...

  • jesus the zr1 is capable of a full 2 seconds quicker than that shitty ass 13.12 he ran in the quarter...drive the damn car like its meant to be driven!

  • @sms1189 Well maybe on a glued drag strip. On something like actual road pavement, not a chance. AWD stuff like turbo porsches and GTR's will rip it a new one every time from a dead stop IRL. It's only limited by the laws of physics, nothing to be ashamed of.

  • Ami vs German :D

  • lunch control i think he didnt use that on the vette

  • to try and curb all the ZR-1 dick sucking here, try to remember that neither car is stock....

  • The Porsche wins yet again and the obama vette eats shit yet again. I see the same old trend here. obama junk can toss my salad :) and enjoy doing so...ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL EAT ME

  • Good bye Corvette!!!!

  • Noobs crying its the drivers always when their favorite car loses. But the truth hurts doesnt it?

  • @2Str0k3 Still, the driver sucks , it's easy to see .

  • well he was loosing so i guess he wanted to see how the high speed wipers were going to work and yea bad start and he looked fat too so another neg for americans he probaly had mickey d's in the car with the dollar tea

  • why are the wipers moving at 0:39

  • why the hell were the wipers on the corvette running? LOL.

  • pretty sure the zr1 corvette has the fastes production car standing mile time still, .

    i could be wrng but i read that a while ago,

  • who the heck does 13.125 in an LPE ZR1 man is this the only zr1 over their or what??some one give this guy some drag radials or better yet with his horrible driving skills send him full out slicks sheeessshhh....

  • from like 00:30 to like 00:42 you could never tell the vette was racing anything unless you looked at the vid lol

  • this hurts my soul =( . with a hint of arrogance il still have to say. porsche sucks

  • He might be imitating a crying person, with the wipers? Alot of people do it.

  • The porsche is AWD. All RWD cars do terrible on this track no matter what hp they have.

  • OMG!!!!! @0:36

    What a fucking joke this guy is! He is such a bad driver he even accidentally turns on the windshield wipers!!!!!!

    There is another video of a ZR1 crushing a Turbo 911, this is ALL on the DRIVER!!!

  • Top gear, AKA people who can get a good start, already proved that the ZR1 was faster out of the Nissan GTR, Porsche, and Ferrari.

  • Comment removed

  • fucking germans that dont know how to shift

  • @jason11582623 those people are russians

  • ROFL VETTE DRIVER PUT ON HIS WIPERS HAHAHAHA no but seriously he sucks ass he should be driving a prius

  • not fair !

    the vette is 2WD , its can’t lunch from 0 KM !!

  • Any car with AWD on the Drag Strip is considered a PUSSY CAR. Takes a man to handle RWD and skill. In a AWD car these days you can just use the LAUNCH CONTROL along with all the crap that comes with it like traction control.........

  • penis

    

  • WTF? wipers on in the vette? That guy can't drive...

  • the guy in the zr1 fall asleep

  • this is complete bullshit my buddies 98 z28 camaro runs 12.9 with suspension, intake, and exhaust.... how in the fuck would a ZR1 run 13.1 unless the driver is retarded

  • @dontrustwhiteyever1: You know, its funny that you said that. Especially since Dodge just reclaimed the top spot on the Nurburgring with the Viper doing a 7:12 second lap time. lol

  • I think the next upgrade on the ZR-1 needs to be a driver mod. Stage 1 at least. Maybe spend some of your money on a drivers school too so that way americans don't look like jerk offs who cant drive. That porsche was damn near sideways and he was still moving quite briskly.

  • @NickDaMan31 It's a slippery track, if the zr1 put down as much power at launch as the Porsche did it would have spun out for sure. So he launched at lower rpm and got a slow launch.

  • @InsaneAutomobiles The launch was slow.... sure. but theres no excuse for a redlight. And with 315's on the back there is definitely a tire out there that can hold more power than that slow launch. I'm just saying the car could have been built and tuned more properly and the driver could have driven it harder. Those cars should be much more equal than what that race showed.

  • @NickDaMan31 Valid point, to bad all that wasn't done before the race. I do agree it should be producing better results.

  • @InsaneAutomobiles Ya. very disappointing. The Agera in your video though is incredible. Get that car out to the track!!!

  • @NickDaMan31 =)

  • @NickDaMan31 I agree, but in all fairness the Turbo is 4WD and is way easier to launch

  • @NickDaMan31 that was Clouse Van Naustrin driving the Corvette a {GERMAN} who would not let the Porsche lose. 99.9 of the races with American cars are not driven by Americans

  • @O7ROADKING That makes sense. Its just not very comforting seeing that car get underdriven. Even if the porsche is 4wd. A well set up LPE Zr1 should eat it..... I guess it's like most car guys though. Just because you put the money into it doesn't mean you know what to do with it. $ ≠ Speed.

  • @NickDaMan31 Ya even with that bad start the ZR1 would have reeled in the Porsche in a mile race.and it did not something wrong there
