What a shock, the ZR1 got its butt kicked again, and not even by the
Spec-V, Spec Nur, or Spec Nismo, but by the BASE model. ZR1 is
overpriced garbage.

The laps are at the end of the videos.

This is a RIGGED test the ZR1 has lost in all other tests in all other
magazines in the 1/4 mile to the GTR Spec-V and the Ferrari 599. The
599 has also consistently destroyed the ZR1 in top speed tests.

It's the BASE GTR in your stupid video anyway(why not the Spec Nismo
or Spec Nur?) the GTR Spec V beats the ZR1 in all 1/4 mile tests in
Edmunds, Car and Driver, etc. The Ferrarri 599 also beats the ZR1 in
the 1/4 mile and in TOP SPEED in all magazines where they were tested.
Car and Driver got an 11.5 1/4 mile and a 3.4 0-60 for the ZR1 and a
1.07g rating on the skidpad.

In Edmunds test the ZR1 got an 11.5 second 1/4 mile, and on Car and
Driver's test, the ZR1 ALSO got an 11.5 second 1/4 mile. The GTR spec
V got a 3.2 second 0-60 and an 11.4 second 1/4 mile in Edmund's test
and 11.3 in Road and Track's test.
Whenever you compare the times from the SAME MAGAZINE, the Spec V
ALWAYS beats the ZR1 in the 1/4 mile on the skidpad, and in 0-60. GT
channel got an 11.0 SECOND FLAT 1/4 mile time.
Show me ONE single magazine or or Video Magazine that has an 11.0
second 1/4 mile time for the ZR1.
The ZR1 is HUGELY OUTCLASSED.
Look at 6:17 in the GT channel's test.

rollout like they do at dragstrips.

SPEC V OWNS ZR1 PERIOD.

Not until the training wheels are tightened up and his big sister is
there to watch him.

Styling is a subjective thing, but I'll bet 9 out of 10 would say the 'Vette
is the more attractive.
