Wow, I'm sorry but for all the crap american cars are given, that thing corners like its on rails.
I dont if I'll make home tonight

hmmm, lots of turn-in oversteer and off throttle till well after apex and then power out.
Not so much "on rails" ... BUT very little body roll, woudl liek to see if being pushed through the corners though to see how much power-induced roll occurs.

Wow, that was almost as fast as a Nissan GTR!
But its allot more production stock than the Nissan GTR. One magazine has reported that the record setting GTR has 698hp while Nissan continues to advertise it as a 480hp machine hahahaahahah to the fools buying the car thinking that itll be faster than the Enzo. Truth be told, in a straight line it will probably loose out to the base Corvette C6.

fanboism > sarcasm
re straight line, I've seen figures of 0.27 for the GT-R and 0.31 for the Z06.
That's 10% ... so MUCH more power needed to push the Z06 at top speeds.
Weight is not a major issue when testing top speed as nobody says how long it should take to get there
Aero resistance is MAJOR factor and will be interesting to see real world numbers confirm/denying all this FBS ( Fanboi Bull Shit )

Paddles & AWD could never make up for the power difference. A GT-R needs about 115 extra hp to match the Z06's power-to-weight ratio, leaving aside torque figures and displacement.
A great launch could determine a short race, maybe even a 1/4 mile race, but anything longer than that would be simply impossible.

Even with the launch control the GTR still lost easily to the ZO6.
This video makes you wonder how the Nurburgring 7:29 spec GTR was even able to keep up with the 638hp Corvette ZR1 when the production spec GTR cant even get close to the Corvette ZO6 for both standing and rolling starts.

I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

Not to be the nitpicker here.......but couldn't this have been posted in the other FIVE ZR-1 threads that are on the first page???
I mean, I know that there aren't alot of impressive performers coming out of the North American market these days, but flooding this section with multiple threads concerning the same car is getting pretty annoying. And mind you...I LIKE American performance cars.
