I had several Ford die-hards swear up and down there was no way the ZR1 would beat the GT. Hope they are enjoying their meal of crow. The butt hurt on the Ford forums is strong!
Well done Chevy.

As do I.
Those MPH suggest a low 50's time is not only a possibility but a reality. I am not sure I have ever seen 170 on the front stretch? Nor have I seen in the 150's into the esses.
You may see 53's or so is my guess.
If it proves reliable an M7 looks to be in my future as well.

Love it...I'm anxious to see reaction from other brands.

Wow! The performance of this thing is off the charts! Cars are getting crazy fast.
I can't help but think that running a clean lap at a DE would prove most difficult with such a vehicle.

I think I'm starting to like that hideous front fascia and wing mounted over the spoiler. Guess its not so bad afterall.
And seriously, red has got to be the best looking color on that car. With those black wheels that car just looks demonic.
Now, what I can't help but wonder is how fast this car can be around the ring. The Porsche 918 set a time of 2:43:10 which about 6 seconds off the ZR1s time. The 918 lapped the ring in 6:57. Doing some logical numbers here in my head the ZR1 could shave 12 seconds off the 918s time on the ring putting ahead of the Huracan Performante and GT2RS at 6:45.
Actually scratch that. You guys are looking at the N-ring future record holder. Just watch.

And if it reached 170 down the straigh with the ZTK pkg that means this car doesn't have a **** ton of drag like the Zo6 does. Maybe that means will see some 1/4 miles times on par for a 755hp car as the zo6 seems a but slow for a car with that much power. I wonder how fast this car is with the low wing.

Amazing. Looks like the ZR1 is a true track beast out of the gate.

I honestly think the ZR1 will beat the GT2rs and Huracan P. around the ring.
At this point two cars may be quicker than the ZR1. The 720s (highly doubtful) and the upcoming 488 GTO. The Mclaren Senna isn't even worth mentioning being its price and will prob late 6:30-6:38
