Re: ZR1 vs GTR V-Spec
a wing is doubtful for any factory street corvette. no one would buy it, any person would say it's to ricer-ish. the rear lip spoiler and front lip spoiler on the zr1 are plenty enough. a raised spoiler is reserved on vettes with the R at the end of the name...such as the C6R. as for 1/4 times, the vette is and has always been a muscle car, it's going to win the 1/4 against cars with power in the same area. chevy however, is just the first company to take on european supercars in mass.
i'd take either, but maybe they should throw a viper acr into the show or 911 gt2, both very powerful potent road holding/molesting cars.
as for underestimates of gtr power, nissan stated that the gtr makes 478hp, and has very little restriction and losses less than the average awd car does, they stated around 12%. the mag that i've read with the dyno test ran 433hp, about 11% i think...
a person who wants a vette will get the vette, same with the gtr. i'd still spend 110g and get a 911 gt3, no need for a back seat, if u can spend 70-150g on a car i think u can afford the gas in the toyota camry for the family. nobody buying any car of this caliber only has one car in the family. the spouse has their own, and usually a truck to get the car to the track. i live 20mins from Virginia International Raceway, 90% of the cars there are street leagle, but are trailered there. a ceo isnt going to drive his track car to the damn track. he's going for the weekend with a motorhome a trailer, car, and minibike to get around. if u have an accident at the track, how u getting home? u dont, if u can afford racing a car u can afford the practical cars at the same time.
