Z06s are for girls/women/females! Real men drive a ZR1 -- supercharged, has 133 hp than Z06, strong and heavy. Just kidding! Anybody can drive whatever they wanna drive!
3 weeks ago
Somebody just tuning this thing and hit 700 Hp. They said, it's still perform good on track but still need some skill to control the wheel spin. One think for sure, it has very fast 70-150 mph and top speed reported about 210 mph.

Well, Still goin on i see...Anywhoo

Arent we still waiting for that Proof?...

Ps: Ascari KZ1 time is a Claim...Not a test

All those cars youve mentioned Dave, HAVE run a Drag Strip test, Espcially the GT-R, if you noticed i put a LIST of the Runs Magazines Vs Indepandants if you look down the list, WITH the names of the people who ran them, EVERY car has time to make an Improvement, but not NEARLY as much as a car like this.

And again, How much more REAL WORLD can you get when someone tests the car thats NON Magazine and NON Manufaktur affiliated?...

Turbo S, GT-Rs, MP4s, they ALL go to drag strips, But how many people do you see runing cars with Autos or Paddles at a strip? BARELY non here in the UK, Not too mention its not as exciting.

But again, Where is this non stock proof....again?..

@Dave
I've said as much already. While I don't believe there's anything fishy about the time at all, it is misleading to have it here without any kind of distinction, especially when every other figure is from a magazine test. I'd at least want an asterisk next to the time to indicate a non-magazine figure.

There are a lot of things on this site that need asterisks, but I doubt they'll ever get them.
5 months ago
If all times on this site were switched to magazine times then this argument would not come up over and over again.
Some cars have drag strip CLAIMED times while others like the Ascari A10 for example have magazine times. This makes it seem like the ZR1 is a much faster 1/4 mile car when it simply is NOT.

@Shortbus Dave
Yeah, I can see you spending a WHOLE lot of time on YouTube, trolling around looking to start trouble. I know people like you, and that's exactly why I don't bother looking at comments on YT. They're full of abortion-survivors who have no idea what they're talking about, but think that if they say it louder and more frequently it'll somehow become true. And that's on both sides of any argument that happens to be taking place.

But this isn't YouTube, and no one who's recently commented on this page has disputed that there are several cars that are indeed faster than the ZR1 in a straight line. So you're just sitting here, pissing in the wind and making a nuisance of yourself. You're not even listening to what people here are saying. With you it's just "Oh, they disagree with me, so they must be ZR1 liars, HURR-DURR!!!"...But we(as in myself, BR2 and Mental: the only ones who are participating in this)AREN'T disagreeing with you. Those cars are faster than the ZR1 on the street; we said that, we acknowledged that, it's done and we're *trying* to move on. But you and Monday just keep on beating that dead horse. Your heads are so far up your asses that you can't even tell when someone's saying that you're right.

@Shortbus Dave
A magazine is not "independent", moron. "Independent" means someone with NO affiliation whatsoever to the manufacturer. Magazines get their cars directly from the manufacturers, and often have at least one person from the manufacturer's staff present for the tests. In the case of Ferrari, they have entire teams overlooking everything. That isn't at all "independent".

And I already said street vs street, those cars are faster than the ZR1. I outright said that, you utter retard, and none of us so-called "ZR1 liars" have disputed that. At all. All we've said is that the time posted on this page was run on a drag strip, unlike the times posted for other cars. Therefore, comparing these particular times is invalid. WE HAVE AGREED WITH YOU IN THAT THE TURBO S, GT-R, MP4, ETC, ARE FASTER THAN THE ZR1 IN A STRAIGHT LINE. No one is disputing that, mouth breather, so your entire argument is invalid.

Looks like you need a rape whistle, too. Ask Monday if he'll let you borrow one of his.

ZR1 ALWAYS loses to the cars I mentioned in INDEPENDENT tests the 1/4 mile.
Here's MY PROOF. ZR1 liars have ZERO INDEPENDENT proof at all. I can edit videos of me making 100 3 point shots from half court and not missing any for youtube and claim that I'm a better shooter than anyone in NBA history but a claim on youtube doesn't make it a FACT.
Here's just a TINY bit of the INDEPENDENT UNBIAS PROOF.

These people who are posting these times, how many runs? How much money spent at the strip? How much for tires? How much in petrol? How much for little glitch's i.e. repairs? How many times to get the perfect shift? How many times balancing the throttle, with journalists it's a few runs post a time, not dozens and dozens of runs, but that's not good enough with Vette people! See the point!

Read the forum posts for these times and all that information is available, numbnuts. But you wouldn't believe it anyway, so it'd be a moot point.

This is yet another reason indy and mag times can't be compared; it's two very different methods, with very different reasons behind them. Indy times are just for fun and bragging rights. Mag times are far more serious, and can have a major impact on a car's image, and even its sales figures. In fact, that's actually a reason not to trust ANY journalist with ANY car. The cars they get are usually straight from the manufacturer, and even if the journalist doesn't have an agenda, the maker certainly does; they've got cars to sell. Notice I said ANY car; this isn't exclusive to the US.

@Monday
God, you're stupid.

You say journalists can prove it's fake...Then you say you don't trust journalists. Oh, I'm sorry, you don't trust American journalists. Y'know, unless their times with another car prove your point. Hypocrite.

The ONLY way a journalist can prove/disprove these times is if they took the car to a drag strip themselves. And even then, they'd best need to put an expert drag racer in the car(y'know, because that's what these guys are, apples to apples). But what magazine has done that, hm? The "what ifs" don't matter; all that matters is what has actually been done.

These are not tests, idiot. These guys aren't out to prove anything; they do this for fun and as friendly competition. Honestly, I don't believe they should be here, because the world is full of morons like you who love to take things out of context and make mountains out of molehills.

Mag times run on a normal surface CAN NOT be compared to independent times run on a strip. Period. WE recognise that, so WE don't do it. YOU and Shortbus Dave are the only ones who can't wrap your heads around it.



BECAUSE! If it cannot do it anywhere, then using a highly prepped track, IN! the right conditions, WITH! the right sort of temps, WITH! the right elevation or the RIGHT sort of tires is BS! Any car can do that, but only with an American car are these tests done! It's to PROOOOOVE something! Independents? Still you just don't get it do you? Independents could have modded the car and NO-ONE KNOWS DUUUUUUH! Journalists can prove it's fake or not!

Mental? If that your state of mind? What's that car go to do with the ZR1 times not adding up to a Turbo S, MP4 and Aventador?
