My guess is that UE will suffer the same fate as JohnGlen

Scraping the splitter.
Sort of not surprising.
The active aero on the GT provides a pretty solid advantage. Vmax mode tucks in all of the deployable aero and lowers the car for maximum speed. Plus the GT is about 200# lighter.
So the additional horsepower of the ZR1 balances it out and they are pretty much dead even. You have to look at the speeds. Roll racing is VERY, VERY heavily effected by whoever gets the jump because in cars this powerful, that small advantage is a big difference in outcome.

Driver mod requested.... The GT got the jump every time... But it still says something that the $140K ZR1 is running right there with the $500K unobtainable GT...

I have yet to meet (in person or on-line), a ZR1 owner who hates the car and is so disappointed that they dumped it. The few that I heard who sold theirs did so either as a money making flip... or to buy something else of higher “prestige” at way more cost to themselves (McLaren, etc.)... not a single one of those did so because they were tracking the cars... or because the ZR1 didn’t have enough performance.
Believe what you like... say what you like... anyone with a brain knows you are irrelevant. You argue for the sake of arguing... Your presence on the Corvette Forum is truly nothing more than trolling.

It's time for "unhandled exception" to go on permanent leave. However before you do please post a picture of yourself. I want to see what an "unhandled exception" looks like.

1) Don't own a Corvette...let alone a ZR1
2) Have never driven a C7 ZR1...love your earlier comment about how the driver could miss a gear in an A8
3) Never owned any supercars at all...except the ubiquitous Mustang SE (aka Sidewalk Edition)
4) Have no seat time at a race track...to you spirited driving = leaning into the turns in the Starbucks drive through
5) Own a computer...and wear goo stained driving gloves while trolling car forums.

Nobody around here knows that ZR1 owner? He needs to check the angle of that wing. The only logical explanation is down on power AND/OR wing is in highest downforce fixed position. 130mph ON A ROLL RACE 1/4 are you kidding me.

Guys and Gals, I can tell you exactly why people come here to mess with you. Because you take this **** to seriously. Who cares what other people say about the car you drive.

I hate using the Ignore List... have only done it once before... but it’s time to add this troll to the list. I only wish the rest of you would do so as well.

I really couldn't care less, he's nothing more than a pest which is why I have bug spray. If he were within close proximity I would probably reach for the bug spray although a fly swatter is equally effective.

Nothing to kid, latest motortrend test results indicated 131mph 1/4 mile as well. Unless you are assuming motortrend and this zr1 owner both are part of a conspiracy theory.

In the mean time I will impatiently wait for my ZR to get here so I can join the other happy owners

I suspect that UnutilizedErection has no idea that this Farmer isn't the one in the Dell.

You see, again its a “i bury my hand in the sand” mentality in this forum. You guys want to see what you want to see.
Some hero run doesnt matter. Motor trend took all of these cars and ran them back to back in the same place by the same driver. Their results and more importantly the RELATIVE DELTA of what each car trapped mean much more than Bill Farmer’s hero run.
Bottom line is FGT and ZR1 trap dead even although ZR1 has a pretty good 150 hp advantage (equal weights).
