R32 GTR vs. 2010 Vette ZR1

[QuietChaos]

At just over 100k USD, it's one of the best performance bargains out there(for a new car). Price isn't that far off from GT-R in the USDM, at 80k.

I was very impressed that a production Corvette could hold the Nurburgring record at one point. It's a much better performance car than anything European, at a fraction of the cost. The same could be said for the R35. 2012 GT-R numbers look pretty impressive.

There's a lot more sophisticated and high-end tech in the ZR1 than some might think.

could be something like this who knows

My a$$ that R34 has 900hp, did you see how lathargicly it was going through the gears. With tighter gear spacing than my car he should be a very busy boy. I'm shifting much more frequently than that. Plus he loses to a car with 50 less hp and 400 more lbs of weight, I call BS.

Videos or who cares - I didn't realize you don't live in Canada - there's 2 feet of snow on the ground so the race is not going to happen this year.

i'd guess the ZR1. As much power as a GTR could have, the technology and quality is better in the chevy lol

I'll take that bet, I'll even give him the jump.


By the time I hit 3rd gear (provided it doesn't break......LOL) I'll be ahead and running away from him so fast he'll think there is something seriously wrong with his car. I pulled 1.1 Gs all the way through 3rd gear on my last run, it's freaking stupid how hard it pulls once it settles in. It pulls just as hard in 4th, 1 full G to 8000 rpm, it's crazy, makes me giggle like a little girl.

I still haven't run it at 1.5 bar yet, that was at 1.4 bar........teeheehee.

Skyline Launch Control Video with ViPEC ECU


This was a previous version the new firmware does the same but is less violent. It is always fun for me when a client wants me to show them how fast their car is. A little trouble with the first launch but the second one was nailed. Sorry for the crappy video but it was from a buddies cell phone and I had to rip it from Facebook. LOL

That thing sounds amazing. I love when you can hear the car even tho you can't see it!

Who's car is that Cam ? I love that video Iv prob watched it 20 times already, that car sounds like a beast ! That looks extremely fast for 500whp , Iv used my launch control once and it was scary. I can't see a zr1 getting off the line that hard on the street.

My white Gtr running on 4 cylinders was as fast as a BMW m5.

The fellow I tuned that car for passed away a couple of years ago in a motorcycle accident. His name was JP. He was mildly scarred of the car at first and just wanted to see it go. I love watching that crappy cell phone video it reminds that I can still drive and shift LOL I will throw a link up for a couple more one of a Supra that was retarded as well.
