Driver in lp670 and Zr1 sucks. Lp670 = 98 mph cresting first turn in the esses…Zr1 does 108/109…..R8V10 does 116…..Something seem wrong!!!!????
May 24th, 2010 - 18:53
R8V10 crested the first right in the esses 18 mph quciker than the LP670!!!!!
May 24th, 2010 - 19:25
Just reviewed…it was 11 mph slower in the lp670 than the zr1…FAIL

ZR1 and ACR for the Win. Over all overrated imports, and Exotics. with a quarter price from the Exotics.

how in the hell is the speedometer calibrated the numbers are not evenly distributed
May 24th, 2010 - 20:32
He really had to work to get that time lol
May 24th, 2010 - 21:05
where are the guys from the UK always bashing corvettes? they’re missing in action on this thread.
May 24th, 2010 - 21:22
they’re fast in launch mode. without it 12.3 is accurate
May 24th, 2010 - 21:46
Two amazing American cars leading the way! ZR1 and ACR!

euro fags suck tail pipe lol ….the vette is a beast …..it just disposed of ur prescious lp640 , and just wait till the next body vette , it gets better every generation , and now a talk of a mid engine vette lol u guys are done , maybe u can go back to making farm equipment , and porsche can stick with making lil suv’s and four door coupes

see i love how haters act like the ZR1 is SOOO hard to handle. Just say you dont like the car. Dont lie and say its hard to handle. Its funny how this guy didnt even break a sweat. LOL

Awsome! A video is wortha thousand copies of car and driver..:) I did buy the lightning lap issue…
Enough of the vette gtr drama already! Go to your local track and you can see for yourself who is faster.
May 24th, 2010 - 23:25
…Also GTR “Ring times are total crap, as well as just about every other car. I’ll send u a link that’s real informative. And to clear the air…I love the R8, & R8V-10 but for me if I had to pick only one I’d rather have a drivers car like the ZR1, but if I could Id love to own both
May 24th, 2010 - 23:33
Many things to comment on here…but for one, u may fear GTR’s in a ZR1 but I wouldn’t b/c I know how to handle a high hp car. I don’t rest my skills on a fail proof F1 gear box, & AWD computer controlled systems. FYI GTR only run 11.7s why would I fear them unless it raining?, lol & from what Ive read from different tests w/o the LC system GTRs are running 11.9-12.3.

@MaxwellReviresco & WHO THE HELL, says… i think I’ll spent 155K on the R8 V10 because it’s faster then the R8 v8, only to hope they don’t run into anyone driving a ZR1??? yea, i think not! I love the R8, it’s a great car, BUT 7sec around a 4.2 mile track is a life time, & aside from ZR1′s you would also have to live in fear of GT-R’s… yea not for my 150K, I spend that kind of money, I don’t want my wife looking at me like, ” you can’t even catch a nissan?” 150K, means no explaining losses!

@o6rangem9an TOP GEAR FAN BOY, aka MR. POSER
May 25th, 2010 - 00:55
thats cute, whered u get that, top gear?
May 25th, 2010 - 01:50
correction: suspension of the zr1 is manufactured by delphi(GM owned) and is being used by ferrari. very advanced and very expensive.
May 25th, 2010 - 02:48
it’s hard because of the torque and horsepower not because it’s of lower quality. ferrari is using it’s suspension in their cars now.
May 25th, 2010 - 02:52
zr1: thrashing europes finest for 100k. great job by GM! corvettes are lap hounds
May 25th, 2010 - 03:44
ZR1 is hard to handle and Audi R8 v8 is smoother
May 25th, 2010 - 03:44
@coolerdude44 “all corvettes are the same, shit interior, cheap suspension, bang-for-your-buck performance”
So yeah bang-for-your-buck eveyone agree’s, shit interior solved with the price difference, suspension not with the ZR1, which proves u know little about how different a base moddle Corvette is compared to the ZR1 or vettes of the past.
May 25th, 2010 - 04:34
@coolerdude44 maybe ur not getting it, not one single person that can afford these cars r going to use them as a daily driver man, & even if they did the ZR1 is highly practical especially adjustable MR suspension. Now the Audi would be the most forgiving in some cases but not all & not by a big margin man. With a price tag of 155k it damn well should! The only thing the ZR1 lacks is interior…& with the extra 40k I could fill the cockpit w/ carbon figer & leather plus a down payment on a house
May 25th, 2010 - 04:41
@coolerdude44 lol…so u have a bias opinion…now i see. All vettes r the same? well if ur talking a car that does what other cars 2x’s the cost can do then yes they r all the same. ZR1 has better breaks, MR suspension, one of the most praised motors in world, & this video proves 7sec faster than u loveable R8 even faster than the 670Lambo…it does all this w/o any computer help or F1 gear boxes, & without losing any diver experence yet can actually go up & down driveways & over speed bumps.
