Here's the thing...

I don't care about how fast it can go around a track... 99.9% of ZR1 and GTR owners won't take them to a track. The GTR is built to handle, the ZR1 is faster top end, 0-60, quarter mile and braking.

On the street, no one cares who handles better.... It's irrelevant.

GM seems to be doing a good job a taking it's production out of this country. I'd take a japanese made car over something made south of the border by a bunch of mexicans.

Something told me it was an owner or owners, If I ever buy a Corvette I'm making a sticker that reads the only small thing about the owner of this car is his beer belly

GTR and the ZR1, same track, same day, same time, run against each other, that will settle it all

ZR1 ftw

Haven't read all replies yet, but from that movie, whats with the nasty ticking sound in the GTR? Sounds like my mom's AC when the water hits the fan.

Secondly, the GTR is already in production and the ZR1 isn't yet, which means they can tweak things since its not yet in the factory.

Thirdly, this has been brought up before, but AWD is not superior to RWD in handling. It does make keeping the car under control a lot easier, so you don't need as much of a driver mod. But the weight that it'll always have keeps it from performing like a RWD in the same performance bracket. AWD's real advantage lies in runs from a dig since thats when powering all wheels has a great use on roads. I think its best track ought to be rally races where they go off road(don't watch many, someone help me out).

Fourthly, they have an chief engineer named freakin' Tadge Juechter. Thats as cool as having one called Scotty. "We need more power, Tadge!"

GTR fan bois to the rescue! Reading > YOU! The GTR was 2 seconds faster when the Vette was
A. Driven by a NON PROFESIONAL DRIVER and....
B. Driven on a wet track with the above mentioned non profesional driver.

So the GTR on a nice sunny dry day is a tad faster then the Vette on a rainy wet day and your looking at that as a victory? Ummm..... ok what ever makes it easier for you to sleep I guess.

But I'd prefer to see them both run on the same day with the same driver and see the out come. BTW as for this V spec car...... its not out yet! And its not yet in this country sooooo way to go argueing your moot points!
