It is an interesting interview, for sure. I like the way Bob thinks. I think in the above comment, Bob is throwing a bone to the C7 -as he should, supporting a new model. But it's already been proven at Laguna Seca that the C6 ZR1 smokes the C7 on that track. Cool interview though. One of my best friends went to see it live on Saturday, at the Peterson Auto Museum.

I don't think same day matters MUCH. Maybe a couple 10th's at most. Probst drove both the ZR1 and the C7Z51. He did that at the same track -Laguna Seca. Same driver, same track, different days. Temps are pretty consistent at Laguna Seca. It's not like New England, or Utah. Anyway, the ZR1 went something like 5 seconds faster. A different day isn't going to make up for 5 seconds. That is a slaughter (as much as I dig the C7). I'm not "dissing" the C7; it's awesome, but the ZR1 has 200 more HP, weighs less, and has better tires -all points that Bob Lutz made in that video. It also cost $50k more. It better beat a base C7.
I'm not sure what your point is here?
"Best 'Vette Ever?"
Probst: "Not yet."
