2012 Corvette ZR1 Takes on Nurburgring

What I find most funny about all the proud (NON-OWNER) Gtr fanboys on the internet, is they treat it like its the biggest sin on earth if you dislike it. I have driven one and getting out just reinforced why I like 2WD, 3 pedal, lightweight, and electronic techno gizmo-free, vehicles so much more. The GTR isn't a real driver's car and any road tester or automotive journalist would attest to that.

@Vaega1 Because Nissan likes to feed their fans with nonsense BS excuses like saying the track is always wet or damp. Look at how Chevy went up there and got the job done several times with ease. The GT-R just can't beat the Corvettes, not even on the track they prepared the GT-R so much for (to beat the Porsche's). Also, the tires on the GT-R are already struggling to stay in place taking those corners with such heavy weight on them. Any softer tires would surely get torn apart.

@Vaega1 Doesn't the GTR come with nitrogen filled tires built just for the GTR? Those tires of a semi slick outer tread as well. But of course GTR boys won't agree with that.

@ceebowone You're an idiot! The Z06 and ZR1 vette's beat the GTR on several tracks including a tight track (willow springs). Look up VIR lap times, or MotorTrends Laguna Seca lap times genius.

@ceebowone You replied to yourself. Damn dude, you're so argumentative that you're going off on yourself.

@ceebowone Yes it did it had the Pilot Cup tires. The same tire that has been on Porsche too.. I see its the same thing over and over. This car had chassis and areo improvements too. The Z06 ran a previous best of 7.42 and now its 20 seconds faster. Hmm. . must be the Sport Cups. Porsche 911 GT2 RS ran a 7.18 w/ Pilot Sport Cups and 7.24 w/ out. Looks like the tires made all the difference according to your uneducated rants. I back my shit up. I've asked you for proof many times yet no proof.

@ceebowone WTF, its called a roll cage to protect you if the car rolls. That's why its called a roll cage. More weight distribution but also MORE WEIGHT so it wouldn't really matter. And the tires are OPTIONAL, meaning it can come with the car. The ZR1 itself is optional, its the high performance model Corvette. Maybe Nissan should equip the GT-R with better tires. And if the GT-R ran on a damp day, why didn't they come back to try again? Its cause you are gay, and if you reply it proves you are
