Default Supercharged C5 vs ZR1, Neverlift 1/2 mile runway vid...




So first of all, LOVE the ZR1, and yes, I believe this one was stock, but did have the wing removed. With the ability to now tune and mod the ZR1, it's a monster!

Anyway, all in fun, just happened to line up against this ZR1 by chance this past weekend....My best MPH was 173.95.

I didn't see a ZR1. Just a red dot. What was the red dot's trap speed? guessing 155?

Only 250, it's a ZR1, 755 HP and a AUTO with no wing, and 21 years of technology...

I think he hit 158 on that run...

Yes, not sure why they moved it, since it was a ZR1 in the video and I thought I was polite, it's a GREAT car!!

Because their $150k top dog Corvette got embarrassed by a twenty year old C5. Some people are sensitive.

ZR1 owners shouldn't feel sad...173mph is like Stock 720s, P1 or 918 1/2 miles traps.

I hope that wasn't the reason. I mean, there is ALWAYS a faster car. Money makes anything fast. No need for them to be upset about it.

For example...
