NEW GT-R 7:26.7 vs ZR1 7:26.4

Since both cars started in different locations (about a 1sec separation from their start time) I decided to as accurately as possible have both cars enter at the same location at the last turn.
You can clearly see the GT-R gains on the ZR1 in the turns under braking. Also to note the ZR1 losing allot of time at 6:11.

Oops I deleted your post accidentally, blame Youtube for putting the "remove" and "reply" links so freaking close together.

I'm 100% positive that bot indeed started in different locations. I use a video editing software frame by frame .01 to be exact. Look very closely at the sign to the right the ZR1's time starts just passed the sign while the GT-R starts about almost two car lengths before the sign .67 to be exact. Since the GTR was only .3 slower I wanted to put them together within .005 of a sec together, now that's as close as your gonna get :-)

I could have just left them just over a half second apart but the gap was just to obvious and inaccurate. Everyone knows at these speeds just one tenth of a second back is very noticeable  so I wanted to bring both cars as close together as possible from start to finish. ^_^

v8 baby sorry.next.

Yea the ZR1 has 620 horses under its hood far more than the GT-R here and still the GT-R shows how amazing it's engineered keeping up neck and neck with the ZR1.

Give the GT-R 600hp+ and it would then eat/spit the ZR1 out of it's rear end O_O.

Gotta give it to the GT-R!!! kinda puts the supercharged V8 to shame...

GT-R spent clearly more time on throttle in the corners, and thus, got out faster. it was also more calm to drive at the limit, letting the driver to push harder. He could also brake a lot later, which is pretty courageous considering that the GT-R is about 300kg heavier than the ZR1. Suzuki trusts the car, where as the ZR1-driver doesn't have that luxury.

nissan shows us that we dont need a big supercharded v8 to be fast...3l v6 FTW

I don't understand why people get worked up over suckhdumb shit. If Nissan and Chevy wanted to produce the worlds fastest track car, they could, but they are in the business of making money. The designers of both cars took different directions in what they think a sports car should be, and in the end accomplished nearly identical lap times.

@rojas8504 Why? The GTR is packing more technology then Luke's X-Wing, which helps it slay turns so well while the ZR1 makes due with the technology from a Roman Chariot and it and it still won. So I would blame the closeness of the race on the ZR1s leaf springs and not it's engine. It's LS9 would actually put the GTR to shame if your talking about a race to 200 as the little motor in the GTR doesn't have enough power to make it hit 200. Both cars are amazing though. Good day.

self synch? you're stupid,

the place where they started is not even exact

@JellyBird12

The 2012 GT-R easily beat the ZR1 according to one magazine, Sport Auto.

4 seconds ahead of ZR1. This video is now obsolete.

Manufacturer times are biased anyway, Sport Auto tends to be a reliable source.

@eternalkp You do know, the Driver of that 7:38 for the Veyron was just your average Joe right? and no, the GT-R doesnt easily beat the ZR1, not on a single track, thats ben proven.

@bagggggyo ZR1 starts at 106k Usd, and you could put that 21k Usd difference in the GT-R, and at the same time, you could put the 9years of development, all the electronic aids, the DSG, the 4wd system with the R35 tyres in the ZR1, then thats only fair instead of one sided....
