ZR1 A8 hot lap new video
this video should give an indication on what to expect from the ZR1’s A8 not sure what to make of it opinions? Definitely seems snappier.
Which begs the question.. Is the ZR1 A8 worth trading in a Z06?

Thank you for that, Charles.
Hard to say how hard TK was pushing, but it seemed fairly stable...and that's a good thing.

Only thing that ruins this video was that unimpressed old guy 
I mean what in the world is he comparing it too?!

ZR1 at Exotic Racing
It would have been a better video if they had some of the lap shown on the PDR screen. Having driven Mercedes SL AMG, Aventador, 458 on that track (Exotic Racing), it would have been nice to compare straightaway speed. (not lap times, I'm no TK
)
A8 shifting seems very similar to our '17 Z06 A8.
FWIW, the shifting is far better than Aventador.

I was going to say the exact opposite, I was disappointed by the A8 in this video. There is a lot of good video where you can see Tony's hands and notice the delay especially on the Downshift, I see no improvement over the ZO6 A8, but then again I'd have to drive one to make any conclusions.

No improvement on the A8. Downshifts are still terrible and seem to take an eternity on executing the driver's commands.

What head and neck restraint system were they wearing? I saw a Simpson helmet but am not sure of the H+N device.
Thanks

To my knowledge it's the only head and neck restraint that will work with OE 3-point seatbelt systems.
All other HANS devices require harness system shoulder belts.

Looks like the Simpson Hybrid S:
