I honestly don't think ZR1 owners are pretentious like the redneck Camaro/C5 owners constantly talking shit about other production cars over Youtube...
Nothin but hate!! Face you can get a zr1 and beat on it for hours and at the end of the day it will sill run 10s. If that's junk then I'll take that over anything else.
I would sooner do 26 seconds in a Beetle then try to impress 11 hat heads in a ZR1! I've driven pretty much every version of these and have yet to like one of them. I get it, they do have hugh grunt........but who cares!?! Pull up in one at any exotic car gathering and that plastic POS might as well be a taxi because no one cares that a taxi just arrived. Vette= boy racer junk!
LMFAO, this is about as stock as funny car. Nice drag radials, gutted interior, bolt ons, etc :)
A Lamborghni Aventador does 10.6 1/4 mile at 134 mph with a half way descent driver.
This PLASTIC POS would be lucky to do 11.5 1/4 with a great diver and will do about 11.2 with the world's best driver. If you want fast not super expensive stock cars, look at the OLD 997.1 911 TURBO S PDK 10.70 1/4 mile 911, or the NEW 2013 10.80 1/4 mile GT-R. Plastic POS 10.74? ROTFLMFAO!
@Sal30 you don't know the true power of american cars do you buddy ? i guess not. this driver is what is considered a great driver and can and did extracted 100% of the supercharged ls9 engine's power and ran a 10.66 time , beating this one. gtr's are just plain out trash, they need 4wd , multiple changes and a computerized launching control with a automatic transmission for it to do 10.8 ? a corvette zr1 from 2009 does 10.66. a 2012 zr1 should do 10.4 if you give it to this driver.
Dont mean to sound like a hater.. but this is like one in a million... I love the zr1 but 99.99% of drivers wont even touch the 10 second range.. Nice job by this driver though! :)
@E46325mod don't believe motor trend or even top gear, their drivers(motor trend only) / ELEVATIONs make a difference on the times. but a zr1 is able to do this with a GREAT driver.
@ISniffDirtyPanties thats a lie all the gtr needs is to drop some weight and it will kill the zr1 .but i have a eclipse with less than 600 horsepower and will tear your zr1 a new ass hole
@SDkawi6 it's a american tuning company that's found all around the world, ( i checked the site for dealers ). even tho it has swiss in it, it's american. and i saw your comment on top of this one and fastest laps is invalid , you're able to add track times and you can make a civic do 1:10:12 on the nurburgring for example... i rather get my info from wikipedia and not something some dumbass can change.
@ISniffDirtyPanties GTR beats the Zr1 in every launch or 1/4 mile race fellow . Zr1 10.74 sec in 1/4 mile is a unconfirmed time which no media organisation ever managed to replicate . Zr1 drivers with Amazing Skills are getting 11.3 sec in a 1/4 mille Normal Zr1 Drivers are getting 11.8 sec in a 1/4 mile . New GTR Drivers (545hp Stock) are getting 11.1 sec with Skill or no Skill This GTR times have been confirmed by every single Media organisation & Privet Test . GTR is KING
Just an FYI for everyone debating this car and this pass.....I was the owner/driver and that car was bone stock 100%! I have made over 75 passes in 2 different bone stock ZR1's at MIR on stock tires in the 10's. The ZR1 is a beast from the factory and soon the video will be up of my new record of a stock ZR1 on Drag radials of 10.33......Bone stock just add drag radials!
@chuckmekere I don't believe motor trend runs on a drag strip. From what I see in their tests they run on what looks to be a very unprepped strip. These are two to very different scenarios, not to mention Ranger is, dare I say, and expert when it comes to drag racing, MT testers are far from it.
@chuckmekere If you think actual owners of these cars, often with months or even YEARS of experience with them, can't outdo the numbers put up by magazine yuppies, then you're delusional. Especially since no magazine uses an actual fully-prepped drag strip. So if a bone-stock ZR1 with a yuppie behind the wheel can run an 11.2 or so on a normal road surface, that can easily translate to 10s with an experienced driver, a perfect launch and maximum traction.
BTW, he probably removed weight (radio, etc.) or yanked out the limiter to get the 10.7, or RACE gas so it's not "Unmolested". no Unmolested Zr1 runs 10's stock.
FiskeGTS's 2012 GTR, bone stock, w/ "in car" programmer 10.7s
just like other ZR1s did the DR's and got 10.7s. This aint so different
there's a Certain car that does 10's factory "Unmolested" (right from the dealer, without changing anything, just buy it like that and do 10s') and does it consistently. $90K.

@chuckmekere We all knew that was going to happen. Any GM guys who said it wouldn't are in denial. It's going to go back and forth as it has been. ZR1 smokes the GTRs time, then the GTR comes back and smokes it's time, then the ZR1 comes back again, then the GTR lol.
@chuckmekere The 2013 Gt-R's time is a factory estimate. It's currently an unofficial time. It even says that in big letters on the Nurburgring website. And the funny thing that makes me laugh at you import guys...The GT-R uses AWD, and a paddle shifter, and is still struggling to beat a very basic RWD corvette...It's pretty sad.
Bring ur 2012 GTR, UR 2012 PDK, UR LAMBO and get smoked by ranger with ease from start to finish ( 99% of people who buy these cars cant drive them thats why u see all kind of crazy numbers
@pier456 really 2012 isnt here yet and, the Z-06 has been doin 10.7 since 2006, no engine mods, The next C7 will pop heads if u havent heard yet( and you exaggerated the 10.6 its 10 8,,,, ( vettes still doin more w/o the computer driving nor AWD,nor 2 big turbos to push it
@skillz1855 Who cares if its not out yet? Nissan has the numbers end of story. I don't care how long the z06 ran 10's on radials. Which btw drag radials is a mod. And i didn't exaggerate teh 10.6, maybe you should watch the video. All cars now an days are ran by computers quit bitching. The GTR isn't using 2 big turbos anyways. The z06 is using a 427 v8 and the zr1 is a supercharged 6.2. Who cares if the GTR is AWD? Fastest drag cars aren't AWD.
All these cars pick their poison in how they're gonna make power. GM goes for displacement, sometimes with a very light boost supercharger. Other places go smaller, go 4 valves per cylinder, sky high compression, spin the motor to an astronomical rpm, drop a turbo on it, or all of the above, and then we have hear the crazy "all that size and only __ power" argument.
I get tired of the Porsche or Nissan did it with 6 cylinders argument. Well lets see them do it with 1 cam, and try to make that horsepower without winding the motor past 6000 rpm. HP comes with revs and you sure as he'll aren't gonna match ANY Corvette in torque without high revs, forced induction, and/or more valves. And let's not mention the 4 to 1 transmission gears and the same in final drive. GM does it without all of that.
@ColeJ34 zr1 goes to 7k rpms same as the GTR... fail
zr1 has 6.2 liters of displacement vs GTR 3.8 ... fail
zr1 is using forced induction so who the fuck cares?
GTR is much heavier then the zr1
GTR has shorter gears and still gets better mileage then the zr1 with its long gears
GTR is boosted its not running "sky high compression" actually the zr1 is slightly higher then the GTR with a 9:1:1 vs the GTR's 9:0:1 z06 is running 11:0:1 compression ratio...
@brettvett1 MotorTrend 2008. 11.2 seconds @130.5 mph. No fucking doubt this is stock. That was probably there best pass out of four or something. That being said, this man could have been doing this all morning nice and warmed up ,oil nice and pumping, clutch nice and worked in, perfect tire pressure, etc.
Why cant people think that there are ppl in this world that are honest, and actually no how to drag? i see no reason not to believe this is any more stock than any magazine test, sure, there are some ppl who trick ppl in thinking there stock, and there are others that are honest, that right there, is how you Launch a Corvette, i wish MotorTrend or Road&Track or Car&Driver would let this guy take care of the acceleration tests, hell id pay the guy to get the best outa of all cars.
FYI, I comment on my smartphone, stupid one. That's how I respond to illiterate retards like you. I guess you must have no life as well to even be bothered by my comment. Take your 31 year old ass and go do something productive with your life then.
GROW SOME SKIN and maybe you wouldn't bitch a lot about my comments. I understand if I've struck a nerve in you. It's cool too.
You have no credibility at all to say that the 2JZ engine is trash. You're all talk, not enough proof to prove its trash. I never knew the Supra went past 240 mph at the Texas Mile.
Seriously? I cannot even imagine I'm responding to a retard like you. There has been so many videos of Supras with 800HP being stable. And not aerodynamic? Wow apparently you need to recheck that this car was targeted for drag racing, oh stupid one.
Toyota has advanced so far ahead that GM is still struggling to get back LOL!
U mad bro? Don't be, because I'm doing you a favor for letting you know what the LFA can do.
Apparently you're a paranoid idiot as well. Can you comprehend? If you don't care, don't comment back. In fact, just block me if you want a little piece of mind LOL! It looks like I've struck a nerve in you or something.
For around 15k you can buy a used MKIV Supra and put a T88 turbo in it. Tune the engine to 800HP and it's still pretty damn stable on stock internals.
LOL! Why are you mad just because I mentioned the LFA? Who cares if it's very rare to see one at the streets? Lexus did a fine job of proving that you don't need a shit loads of wasted horsepower and torque, a supercharged V8, and a huge liter just to accomplish a 7:14 at the ring as long as there is power to traction to weight ratio.
Hell, even Porsche did it with only 6 cylinders. OR even the GT-R which runs low 11's at the quarter mile.
Why these guys feel the need to go to Corvette videos is beyond me. None of the cars they are talking about will duplicate what it is in this video bone stock.
@CyberGTX09 Just a correction, there will be only 50 of those cars made. It is impressive, but it would help if people stopped looking at hp only when comparing because the gear ratios at the differentials and in the transmissions are not 1:1 so it is an inaccurate comparison. I say this because non-technical people think it is magic when those of us that understand torque multiplication and taller vs shorter gearing know how the playing field gets leveled with different power ratings.
I would care more if the car didn't use a roll cage and was less than the dreamer price of $445K and 50 total units. It is faster for 300K more and there isn't enough car in the world to justify an additional 300K for performance on a track that will never be duplicated. The ZR1 beats it in every straight line category though. Let them meet on the street where 99.999999% of all of them will be.
Again with the price man. That's why the price justifies the limited amount of production. Also Yamaha claimed the V10 engine had great potential. Don't just blame it because of the roll cage. Regarding straight line drag races, the LFA has more than enough power to withstand on its own.
Have you seen the epic drag race from Motortrend this week? The LFA was featured in it and I thought it did pretty well.
@CyberGTX09 The price is an important factor as well as the roll cage. I happen to like the car, but I try to live in the real world. I would love to sit around and dream about sleeping with J-Lo all day, but that would be a waste of time. I spend more time with Base C6s and watching what people do with them. I'm far from taking anything from Lexus, but this is hardly the appropriate forum to be talking about the LFA.
The 5 figure GT-R and Viper ACR smashed the ZR1 at more than half a dozen tracks each. The ZR1 is not very impressive for such an expensive car compared to the Viper and GT-R. BTW, here are some track off the top of my head where Nissan smashed Chevy.
Tsukuba, Fuji Speedway, Contidrom, Willow Springs-Streets of Willow, Top Gear, Camden Airport Australia

This is a HIGHLY PREPPED surface like driving on a road made of rubber. Try that on a SLIPPERY real world surface like in this video below. Under this condition, the ZR1 would get 11.5 at best. Real world surfaces are so slippery that even an AWD car like a GTR or 911 Turbo S PDK will smoke all 4 tires at launch.
Look at this video below. That GT-R would have gotten a 2.4 0-60 and a Turbo S would have gotten a 2.2 0-60 on the ZR1 drag strip. watch?v=NSdDsiWMg4Q
9/11 Turbo S PDK is at least 1/2 second faster than the ZR1. Magazine drivers get 10.70 with it. Also, the Noble M600 gets 11.0 in magazine tests even though it has 650bhp and is 2800 lbs. There's no way the ZR1 can hang with either of those 2 cars. With the proper driver, the Porsche should be capable of 10.2 1/4 mile and the Noblem of 10.5 1/4 mile.
@insatiableTy Nope, it's an OFFICAL TIME. on all the websites. The GT2RS smashed the NEWEST ZR1 and it's a fact. BTW, guess what, the 2012 LF-A just got 7:14 seconds and SMASHED THE ZR1 and even beat the Porsche 911 GT2RS. Only the Apollo Speed beats the LF-A now. I knew that there would be tons of new cars SMASHING THE ZR1 like the 2012 LF-A, 2012 GT-R Spec-R, Lamborghini Aventador, McLaren MP4-12C, Koenigsegg Agera R, Zonda Hyura, and dozens of other cars soon!
@Sal30 first off it hardly seems correct to claim something will SOON beat the ZR1, by that logic i can claim that the 2013 ZR1 will lap nordschliefe in 5 minutes flat. secondly the LF-A time was an unsubstantiated claim by lexus (NO video and no proof). SAME goes for the GT2 RS. the RADICAL holds the lap record as of now. and frankly you keep ignoring my comment of SHOW ME YOUR SOURCES. becuase fastestlap doesnt show who/or what reputable group supports that laptime (I.E. autotrend, C.A.D.,ETC)
@CyberGTX09 yes they actually JUST updated it as a varified time on the 31st of august, but that is a special package called the "nurburgring package" LFA. But when I wrote that 2 of my sources still showed it was an unvarified time. But yes for the moment lexus does hold a faster time than any American car by just under 5 seconds. I am big enough to admit that.
@Sal30 Also most of these cars like the GT2RS the LFA NE are 100k or 200k dollars more than the zr-1 with roll cages, sport tuned spoilers and stripped interiors eg: GT2RS and LFA NE. And the LFA NE only beats the zr-1 by 5 seconds for being 3-4 times the price, this is not very impressive.
Hence why it is the Nurburgring Edition. It was meant to be tested at the Nurburgring alone. They only make 500 of these cars and Lexus chooses the people who are worthy enough to own one of those beauties. A 7:14 from the LFA is VERY impressive for a car that has significantly less horsepower and torque than the ZR1 with its SUPERCHARGED V8 and sticky Michelin tires.
You can't deny the facts. So stop hating on cars that beat the ZR1at the Nurburgring just because of "price".

No unbias magazine has ever gotten better than 11.2 1/4 mile on a stock ZR1.
The RWD McLaren MP4-12C which has a much better weight to horsepower ratio and has a LIGHTNING FAST 6 Speed Dual Clutch transmission runs 10.70 stock in magazine tests. It's laughable to claim that a ZR1 can run in a straight line with a MP4-12C. The McLaren would eat the ZR1 for lunch all day long at the drag strip. If the ZR1 is a 10.7 second car, then the Mclaren is a 10.2 second car. - 1/2 sec for EVERY CAR then!
@rockerdude29 Not really. This MIR in negative 2000 DA conditions, (way below sea level) in 30 degree weather in December. LOL.
Then take a look at that track, the best prepped VHT track in the world. No one will ever duplicate what these guys run in fall and winter at MIR, the fastest track in the world.
@nighman Dont be trollin.Im in no mood,the ZR1 his 11.2s and 11.1s in motor trend and car and driver and everyone knows they both SUCK at driving,if you have any doubts a new 638hp ZR1 can run high 10s stock,youre a fucking idiot.
I hope pplunderstand that the average guy that drives to starbucks w/out seat time will not run these times. I bet the average owner would probably run a high 11 or 12
There was actually a guy who brought a ZR1 up to New England Dragway who ran slower than the time frame you mentioned. He would later in the night lose control near the finish line and hit the wall.
Wanted to say thank you for the great video. No Gay music added... My god these people ruin so many great videos of a freaking unbelievable car. They add the most annoying music... THE ENGINE IS MUSIC!!!! BRAVO!!!
Don't really care what is said here. I am not a fan of 8cy car's,its not my thing. I build 4 and 6 banger's with huge turbo's that run faster then superman,but i respect any street car that's fast and my friend you got one. Good luck with it time to rip it apart and go faster. I beleave i'm a car guy,i enjoy any fast car thats built out of the love of the sport and would never put down anyone's car no matter what it is. Nice ride.
@Marc99GT Your living in a fantasy land bud. Take out the traction issues? Were talkin' car's; Car's are made with Tires; we ain't talking airplanes. I didn't get your link either. Didn't paste properly
@casey10614 you can still search the description of the video and i'm certain it would pop up or is it too much work? I drag raced Mustangs for years and have one well documented in 04/02 MM&FF magazine and it is still online for anyone to view. Any fool knows that this car has a trapspeed capable of running 10s without a problem.
@casey10614 Why don't you go to the track and find out. You are making a stupid determination from a video. I have been to that track as well as the track in Cecil County.
@Marc99GT Take it easy Marcy. Any fool knows this track is notorious for good times because of the low DA. I know Ranger (the driver in the car) and of course he knows this as well.
For you jokers that have not been to the strip stock tires are a joke. He has a great launch but he could have done better on sticky tires cutting down his 60 ft time. As for the 911 its 4WD so in the 1/4 the track and tires dont hold it back that much. the Z06 has shown 10's on Drag radials, the stock tires hold both the zr1 and z06 back because its 2WD. The 911 is a great car but to say its better than the Vette is nonsence.
@ripkej77 You speak the truth. Some of these people should watch the video of the ZR1 racing the GT2, Carrera GT and GTR HKS GT570 and pulling on all of them from a roll. I 100% agree that the tires hold them back against AWD cars. The 911 Turbo S with PDK is a destroyer to 60 mph, but from a roll, the ZR1 beats it and the 2011 ZO6 beat it on a road course already. Funny how they argued for years that American cars can't turn. LOL! The ZR1 beat the 911 on a road course by almost 4 seconds a lap.
@campari121 Try to go read about the 2011 ZO6 beating the Turbo S around the track. What do you idiots expect from 0-60? It is all about traction. If you ever drag raced in your life you would know that the first 60 ft is the most important part of the track from an ET perspective because it has an exponential impact on the other end. Did you notice the ZR!1 pulling on the 911 Turbo with a 7 speed semi auto even though the guy shifted the ZR1 like crap? The 911 loses on the track, fact.
@campari121 Your knowledge or lack there of , is funny to me. The 911 has over 60% of its weight in the rear which does not help. Do you consider the Nurburgring an American track? I guess Hockenheim Short is an American track as well. Only the GT2 competes because it is designed more for a road course. The 911 Turbo can not keep up with the ZR1 on any road course. You are crying to the wrong person.
@Marc99GT you idiot did i say zr1?# "Only the GT2 competes" gt2 gt2rs and gt3 rs are all faster on hockenheim short than the zr1 and the turbo s faster as a z06 too (hockemheim short) Porsche 997 GT2 RS 1:08.40 Porsche 997 GT3 RS (facelift) 1:09.50 Porsche 997 GT2 1:09.70 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 1:09.70 Porsche 997 Turbo S 1:10.90 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 1:11.50
@campari121 I don't know if you realized this yet, but this is a corvette Video. Why do you idiots take the time to go to specific brand videos to start crap? You don't know anything about Corvettes, but are here wasting my time with your nonsense. I couldn't care less about your comments. You want to talk about Porsche vehicles, I'm certain there are plenty of videos to spew your nonsense. If all you have are specs that all of us know about already, that is nothing new.

Monsters' Brawl! Corvette ZR1 vs Porsche 911 Turbo
watch?v=xJx85diM3IE
Check out the track time difference. Same day, same driver and he is a GT2 class winner so you can't cry about his skill level although anything on YT is possible regardless of the evidence.
@JellyBird12 You make a damn good point which most of these idiots don't know. The 911s and Vipers use the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup COMPETITION tires vs the ZR1 on a Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP(Zero Pressure) runflat radials. Drag radials on the ZO6 and ZR1 has them running 10s all day because their trapspeed definitely supports 10 second ETs without a problem.
@Marc99GT Its true tho, i know its not Chevrolets or anybody elses fault that they dont use grippy race tyres n all. but tyres can make a huge difference, Porsche use the best tyres in the buisness, which is great, but the big power advantage from a ZR1 from a Turbo S and the tyre advantage, rwd car with crap tyres and a manual, vs a 4wd car with a dual clutch and 4wd, of course your gonna get a better launch. ZR1 best time in a mag is an 11.2@131mph, and ppl think with a better driver they.....
@Marc99GT Cant get a better time,cant get a better time, the ZR1 has ran 10s over and over again, ppl have to look beyond magazine tests, magazine tester can be good drivers, but none are pro dragsters which can get the bast times, and as far as i know, theres No Fwd, manual car thats faster..
@GTnumber1 Before posting incorrect info, you might want to read up on GM acceleration test protocols. The GM spec is an AVERAGE of a very large number of runs, corrected to a "standard" weather day. GM does not publish its best run.
At least a dozen different C6 ZR1s have run in the 10s bone stock on stock tires. I've personally witnessed five do it on the same day. The 10.74 featured in this video is the current record. There is nothing about the car that's non-stock nor special in any way.
@GTnumber1 You are incorrect also on GM doing acceleration testing of the ZR1 using various tires. That is false. The official acceleration testing at GM is done with stock production tires at the owners-manual specified tire pressure.
@xabipp I know your supposed to hook dude i race too. The video says "stock" tires and they are street radials not stock tires or he would have ate the pavement like crazy.
I honestly don't think ZR1 owners are pretentious like the redneck Camaro/C5 owners constantly talking shit about other production cars over Youtube...
I respect fast... ZR1 gets my respect.

@Sal30 you don't know the true power of american cars do you buddy ? i guess not. this driver is what is considered a great driver and can and did extracted 100% of the supercharged ls9 engine's power and ran a 10.66 time , beating this one. gtr's are just plain out trash, they need 4wd , multiple changes and a computerized launching control with a automatic transmission for it to do 10.8 ? a corvette zr1 from 2009 does 10.66. a 2012 zr1 should do 10.4 if you give it to this driver.

I have made over 75 passes in 2 different bone stock ZR1's at MIR on stock tires in the 10's. The ZR1 is a beast from the factory and soon the video will be up of my new record of a stock ZR1 on Drag radials of 10.33......Bone stock just add drag radials!

@idon'thateoncars- or RACE GAS even. ;). But something is up.
motor trend and c&D are the best drivers and the fastest official time for stock ZR1s with Pump gas Full Weight no drags is 11.1 (aka "Unmolested")
chuckmekere 3 months ago
@chuckmekere I don't believe motor trend runs on a drag strip. From what I see in their tests they run on what looks to be a very unprepped strip. These are two to very different scenarios, not to mention Ranger is, dare I say, and expert when it comes to drag racing, MT testers are far from it.
iPROFITDON 3 months ago
@chuckmekere If you think actual owners of these cars, often with months or even YEARS of experience with them, can't outdo the numbers put up by magazine yuppies, then you're delusional. Especially since no magazine uses an actual fully-prepped drag strip. So if a bone-stock ZR1 with a yuppie behind the wheel can run an 11.2 or so on a normal road surface, that can easily translate to 10s with an experienced driver, a perfect launch and maximum traction.
WelcomeToCarnate 2 months ago
BTW, he probably removed weight (radio, etc.) or yanked out the limiter to get the 10.7, or RACE gas so it's not "Unmolested". no Unmolested Zr1 runs 10's stock.
FiskeGTS's 2012 GTR, bone stock, w/ "in car" programmer 10.7s
just like other ZR1s did the DR's and got 10.7s. This aint so different
there's a Certain car that does 10's factory "Unmolested" (right from the dealer, without changing anything, just buy it like that and do 10s') and does it consistently. $90K.

All these cars pick their poison in how they're gonna make power. GM goes for displacement, sometimes with a very light boost supercharger. Other places go smaller, go 4 valves per cylinder, sky high compression, spin the motor to an astronomical rpm, drop a turbo on it, or all of the above, and then we have hear the crazy "all that size and only __ power" argument.
ColeJ34 5 months ago
I get tired of the Porsche or Nissan did it with 6 cylinders argument. Well lets see them do it with 1 cam, and try to make that horsepower without winding the motor past 6000 rpm. HP comes with revs and you sure as he'll aren't gonna match ANY Corvette in torque without high revs, forced induction, and/or more valves. And let's not mention the 4 to 1 transmission gears and the same in final drive. GM does it without all of that.

GTR is much heavier then the zr1
GTR has shorter gears and still gets better mileage then the zr1 with its long gears
GTR is boosted its not running "sky high compression" actually the zr1 is slightly higher then the GTR with a 9:1:1 vs the GTR's 9:0:1 z06 is running 11:0:1 compression ratio...

Marc99GT 5 months ago
@CyberGTX09 Just a correction, there will be only 50 of those cars made. It is impressive, but it would help if people stopped looking at hp only when comparing because the gear ratios at the differentials and in the transmissions are not 1:1 so it is an inaccurate comparison. I say this because non-technical people think it is magic when those of us that understand torque multiplication and taller vs shorter gearing know how the playing field gets leveled with different power ratings.
Marc99GT 5 months ago
I would care more if the car didn't use a roll cage and was less than the dreamer price of $445K and 50 total units. It is faster for 300K more and there isn't enough car in the world to justify an additional 300K for performance on a track that will never be duplicated. The ZR1 beats it in every straight line category though. Let them meet on the street where 99.999999% of all of them will be.
Marc99GT 5 months ago
@Marc99GT
Again with the price man. That's why the price justifies the limited amount of production. Also Yamaha claimed the V10 engine had great potential. Don't just blame it because of the roll cage. Regarding straight line drag races, the LFA has more than enough power to withstand on its own.
Have you seen the epic drag race from Motortrend this week? The LFA was featured in it and I thought it did pretty well.
CyberGTX09 5 months ago
@CyberGTX09 The price is an important factor as well as the roll cage. I happen to like the car, but I try to live in the real world. I would love to sit around and dream about sleeping with J-Lo all day, but that would be a waste of time. I spend more time with Base C6s and watching what people do with them. I'm far from taking anything from Lexus, but this is hardly the appropriate forum to be talking about the LFA.

This is a HIGHLY PREPPED surface like driving on a road made of rubber. Try that on a SLIPPERY real world surface like in this video below. Under this condition, the ZR1 would get 11.5 at best. Real world surfaces are so slippery that even an AWD car like a GTR or 911 Turbo S PDK will smoke all 4 tires at launch.
Look at this video below. That GT-R would have gotten a 2.4 0-60 and a Turbo S would have gotten a 2.2 0-60 on the ZR1 drag strip. watch?v=NSdDsiWMg4Q

9/11 Turbo S PDK is at least 1/2 second faster than the ZR1. Magazine drivers get 10.70 with it. Also, the Noble M600 gets 11.0 in magazine tests even though it has 650bhp and is 2800 lbs. There's no way the ZR1 can hang with either of those 2 cars. With the proper driver, the Porsche should be capable of 10.2 1/4 mile and the Noblem of 10.5 1/4 mile.

No unbias magazine has ever gotten better than 11.2 1/4 mile on a stock ZR1.
The RWD McLaren MP4-12C which has a much better weight to horsepower ratio and has a LIGHTNING FAST 6 Speed Dual Clutch transmission runs 10.70 stock in magazine tests. It's laughable to claim that a ZR1 can run in a straight line with a MP4-12C. The McLaren would eat the ZR1 for lunch all day long at the drag strip. If the ZR1 is a 10.7 second car, then the Mclaren is a 10.2 second car. - 1/2 sec for EVERY CAR then!

For you jokers that have not been to the strip stock tires are a joke. He has a great launch but he could have done better on sticky tires cutting down his 60 ft time. As for the 911 its 4WD so in the 1/4 the track and tires dont hold it back that much. the Z06 has shown 10's on Drag radials, the stock tires hold both the zr1 and z06 back because its 2WD. The 911 is a great car but to say its better than the Vette is nonsence.
I have a C6 Z
NICE RUN!!!!!!

@ripkej77 You speak the truth. Some of these people should watch the video of the ZR1 racing the GT2, Carrera GT and GTR HKS GT570 and pulling on all of them from a roll. I 100% agree that the tires hold them back against AWD cars. The 911 Turbo S with PDK is a destroyer to 60 mph, but from a roll, the ZR1 beats it and the 2011 ZO6 beat it on a road course already. Funny how they argued for years that American cars can't turn. LOL! The ZR1 beat the 911 on a road course by almost 4 seconds a lap.

@Marc99GT

@campari121 Try to go read about the 2011 ZO6 beating the Turbo S around the track. What do you idiots expect from 0-60? It is all about traction. If you ever drag raced in your life you would know that the first 60 ft is the most important part of the track from an ET perspective because it has an exponential impact on the other end. Did you notice the ZR!1 pulling on the 911 Turbo with a 7 speed semi auto even though the guy shifted the ZR1 like crap? The 911 loses on the track, fact.

@Marc99GT
you are very funny
do you really belieber a z06 is faste on the track than a turbo?
on no racetrack on the world the turbo slower than the z06
only on american tracks
strange? or?
campari121 11 months ago
@campari121 Your knowledge or lack there of , is funny to me. The 911 has over 60% of its weight in the rear which does not help. Do you consider the Nurburgring an American track? I guess Hockenheim Short is an American track as well. Only the GT2 competes because it is designed more for a road course. The 911 Turbo can not keep up with the ZR1 on any road course. You are crying to the wrong person.

@campari121 I don't know if you realized this yet, but this is a corvette Video. Why do you idiots take the time to go to specific brand videos to start crap? You don't know anything about Corvettes, but are here wasting my time with your nonsense. I couldn't care less about your comments. You want to talk about Porsche vehicles, I'm certain there are plenty of videos to spew your nonsense. If all you have are specs that all of us know about already, that is nothing new.

Check out the track time difference. Same day, same driver and he is a GT2 class winner so you can't cry about his skill level although anything on YT is possible regardless of the evidence.

@ripkej77 The 911 Turbo Also has Michillin Pilot Sport Cup Tyres, which are semi slicks, along with that RR traction advantage.
JellyBird12 11 months ago
@JellyBird12 You make a damn good point which most of these idiots don't know. The 911s and Vipers use the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup COMPETITION tires vs the ZR1 on a Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP(Zero Pressure) runflat radials. Drag radials on the ZO6 and ZR1 has them running 10s all day because their trapspeed definitely supports 10 second ETs without a problem.
Marc99GT 11 months ago
@Marc99GT Its true tho, i know its not Chevrolets or anybody elses fault that they dont use grippy race tyres n all. but tyres can make a huge difference, Porsche use the best tyres in the buisness, which is great, but the big power advantage from a ZR1 from a Turbo S and the tyre advantage, rwd car with crap tyres and a manual, vs a 4wd car with a dual clutch and 4wd, of course your gonna get a better launch. ZR1 best time in a mag is an 11.2@131mph, and ppl think with a better driver they.....
JellyBird12 11 months ago
@Marc99GT Cant get a better time,cant get a better time, the ZR1 has ran 10s over and over again, ppl have to look beyond magazine tests, magazine tester can be good drivers, but none are pro dragsters which can get the bast times, and as far as i know, theres No Fwd, manual car thats faster..

I wonder what the 911 Turbo S PDK would get with that much glue on a track?
SInce the 911 Turbo S PDK got 10.70 on an airstrip, it could get in the low 10s on this same KRAZY GLUE drag strip.

@GTnumber1 Before posting incorrect info, you might want to read up on GM acceleration test protocols. The GM spec is an AVERAGE of a very large number of runs, corrected to a "standard" weather day. GM does not publish its best run.
At least a dozen different C6 ZR1s have run in the 10s bone stock on stock tires. I've personally witnessed five do it on the same day. The 10.74 featured in this video is the current record. There is nothing about the car that's non-stock nor special in any way.
RangerC6Z06 1 year ago
@GTnumber1 You are incorrect also on GM doing acceleration testing of the ZR1 using various tires. That is false. The official acceleration testing at GM is done with stock production tires at the owners-manual specified tire pressure.

Bad car dude. Find it hard to believe those are stock tires. They hooked and didn't spin at all.

@SCLUSC1 that is the whole point....to get the best 60 ft :> If you want to spin the tires simply rev to 6.500 rpm and drop the clutch :/

@xabipp I know your supposed to hook dude i race too. The video says "stock" tires and they are street radials not stock tires or he would have ate the pavement like crazy.
