Default ZR1 Comparison vs. 812 Superfast

I don't believe this has been posted already...http://fastestlaps.com/comparisons/komvrdc8gazk

Now, don't get me wrong, the Superfast looks like an amazing car. But, this is a testament to what the ZR1 can do with a similar platform...for nearly 1/3 the price. Of course, it won't appreciate like the Ferrari will. But, you also won't look like you've got a bratwurst in a$$ while driving it either

All engine NA V12. Hope they keep building them. Will be a sad day when they're gone.

For me data don't really matter as much, I pick and drive cars for the feeling, each different car at this caliber gives an unique experience to the driver and that's why i feel so blessed these cars exist. I love the ZR1 being rough and harsh, the car is so hardcore but also enjoyable, but the Ferrari is heaven especially with that engine... oh god, I never forget that feeling driving a Ferrari and that's what sets it apart from other cars, not data but how you feel when driving it, so to me, both cars are winners XD

Imagine, a Corvette out handles a Ferrari and the Ferrari beats the Corvette in the 1/4.

I hope to have both soon... but do not thing the cars are really comparable.

High Revving NA engines are mesmerizing. Herohaki said it well above. I expect the ZR1 to be raw brute force. Fun on the street and track. It is not a P-car and is not a Ferrari. The 812 will scream, literally and figuratively, finesse and sophistication.

I have an 812 on order, thought I would have my ZR1's long before that arrives, now not sure what will get here first, neither will be as fast as the Porsche in the garage, but it's fun racing them against each other

Look out for an equal 812 Superfast though....god forbid a TDF...the thing will be a monstrosity. Corvettes are cheap and simple to own but...812 Superfast is a dream machine. AMG GTR Black is going to be a monster too...the SLS Black was an NA beast of a car.
