We must wait for at least 7-8 track lap times to say which is faster...Anyway Zr1 is good on tracks and is much lighter but from the other side the F12 is much faster in straight line and much more tech. advanced so it is interesting comparison.

Guest the best 11y ago

yeah in a straight line... the guy said track didn't he?

.
??
In straight line there is no even contest ... on track put the option semislick on F12 and see the results. Check Autocar laptimes. If not check ZR1 laptime without semislicks ...

Guest the best 11y ago

with more Laptimes,zr1 would smoke the f12 berlinetta for sure.

For sure ? Really ?
Autocar showed The F12 with semislicks (Pilot Sport Cup 2) it was fast as a MP4-12C or faster than an upgraded Mp4-12c Spider.

I'll take Corvette too. Most Chevy owner said that Chevy's sports car is more durable than Ferrari. My dad has a friend who has Testarossa and she said the car durability is worst than Fiat after a long year usage, force her to keep the car inside garage. I don't know about today Ferrari.

@ Flabernat: You know which one I'd take, the ZR1. ;)

Flabernat 11y ago

I'll take the ZR1.
@dddd, I don't necessarily agree. The F12 is gorgeous and on public roads the better GT car, but the ZR1 if a far more capable on a track... Plus I'll almost always choose the car with a manual over one with an automated transmission.

Mayby yes or mayby not...But who realy cares (?) since F12 is so much better car in practically all aspects.
