Saw those last night, looks like NSpec and another car I know, and both are stock. Time to move this to "Other Cars" lol.

Looks like the ZR1 had the edge but not by much at all.

LoL you watching the links posted above? Looks like more than a car to me in every pull. Regardless this is in the wrong section and should be moved ASAP.

I thought they were allowing comparisons to other Corvettes to stay in this section?

Great to finally see a race.

Bottom line is the manual cars are even and driver skill will always determine the outcome here. For that reason I foresee the A8 Z06 taking the edge more often than not.

Give me a break. Quality of those vids are horrible and on the last vid the ZR1 clearly jumps first. The one video where they hit it about the same time is pretty damn even. Give it up Z06 haters

A car length is not much at all probably hundredths of a second at best at well over 100 mph. Don't be so desperate to down the Z06 that you look like a troll even though it may be too late for that.

Besides you seem to be the only who sees that much of a gap outside of a better jump in one race.

Nothing says progress like being equal to or slower than a car from 2009.

If you read the comments from the people in the race they say the ZR1 won by a car length each time. But yeah, it is hard to tell from the videos since they are taken be a chase car that can't keep up.

Yeah I do.
And the Z06 was "better" than the ZR1 in every way, the most capable Corvette yet wasn't it?
Guess it depends how you define capable.

Show me where Tadge or anyone from GM said "better in every way" Maybe I am wrong but I don't recall that. Also the Z06 is a track oriented car and would beat the ZR1 on a track that I am sure of. The Z06 has a base price of 79K while the ZR1 was a 103K base price. Please go back to Viper alley and discuss to stripe or not to stripe!!!

Oh, how I despise chase car videos. That's the dumbest idea ever.
Uh, let me get behind 2 cars, which are faster than mine, and film them racing.......at night!
