considering they take more then straight line speed into consideration the zr1 is faster, now in some cases they are wrong because they don\'t compare track times such as the case with the ferrari f50 and viper acr

Actually, its not, i assume your regarding that AutoCar test? if so, your vasely mistaken, this has made 189mph in under 27s on a mile run on youtube buy a bloke fullu stock in a Florida run way, ill see if i can find the link for you. further more, the YellowBird has ben dyno'd a coupe times,(not many since they only mad 29 of them) to actually produce more than the listed 469bhp, but not all were the same, and ive yet to see a claim of one actually producing 469bhp, some went as high as 569! along with the GT-R and Panamera S and S65.

the yellowbird is a 22 year old car that is still over four seconds faster than this corvette in the standing mile at over 185 mph in 28 seconds!!
