Im a ZR1 fan and for the LP670 to do almost 10 mph less through the upper esses than the zr1 says 1 thing to me. DRIVER SUCKS.

Of course it felt more planted...YOU WERE GOING SLOWER!

[BigSloan413]

@gnthndrw Go for it! I'd rather save a couple hundred grand, And buy the Faster ZR1.

@bencolecumbria1995 Because people are still incredulous that a $115,000 USD American supercar can outpace a 250,000 USD Italian hypercar.

can't wait for aventador.

[bencolecumbria1995]

Why are people comparing the ZR1 to the Murcielago SV they're in totally different classes

[AceOfSpades725]

@GTIEdition35 yes that too the LP670-4 SV is a very heavy car even with all the carbon fiber elements.thank you for bringing it up. i forgot to mention that was well

[rmf09024]

zr1 is lighter and has more hp at the wheels than the lambo, so it would be a better race than expected

[GTIEdition35]

And note I am a Corvette fanboy

[GTIEdition35]

@AceOfSpades725 I was pesonally shocked when I saw that the LP670-4 SuperVeloce had attended that lightning lap. One of the main reasons, the ZR1 was faster (and correct me if I'm wrong) is the marginally better HP-LBS ratio. The ZR1 has slightly less power, but is quite a bit lighter. Then, there are all of the things you listed.

[AceOfSpades725]

People are shocked that the zr1 beat this car around the track, this car was never build for handling at all it was meant for top speed. yes it handled better than the LP640. the ZR1 is lighter and has a track suspension, this just had a stiffer version of the stock suspension in the LP640. so in essence if the ZR1 didnt beat it id be more surprised. I want to see the new Lambo go through here, that should post a much better time due to the lighter wight, and F1 style suspension.

learn to drive the murcie sv! give this to the stig and see what happens!

[corvettezr1man]

i like the sv a lot but none of u are ever gunna be able to afford one the zr1 is just plainly a better car then people go around hatin gm like its a bad company or something im mean of corse the zr1 is cheaper than all of these euro companys because its a chevy i mean u never hear lamborghini or ferrari making cars to compete with the malibu they are only fast cars gm makes all kinds of cars. almost all there cars are cheap felling because they are supposed to be affordable unlike the sv
