Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 Spied

If you look close the disks are carbon ceramic.

I'd hope they are! In my world, a $100,000 corvette is unheard of! That thing better be able to fly.

the porsche 911 turbo with tiptronic does 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds. They will continue to make this model unlike the bugatti veyron. The new 911 turbo is expected to be 3.0 seconds 0-60. The Corvette has always been a slugish car which can never match its German counterpart's lap times no matter its strightline speed.

I applaud GM for amping up the Vette's already prodigious power. It's likely that Porsche Turbos will outhandle the Vette but this Super Vette, whether it's a ZR-1 or Blue Devil or Z07, will tear the doors of the Porsche 911 0-60 MPH. Torque beats turbos.

Heres the contest guys: Which country has the most cars with over 500hp? I'll do Germany. People are welcome to do a country of their choice. Must be cars that will be made for 2008 year. This is not a place to post concepts/ future models. Mercedes-Benz 1.E63 (510hp, 465 lb-ft) 2.S65 (604hp, 738 lb-ft) 3.SL65 (604hp, 738lb-ft) 4.CL65 (612hp, 738 lb-ft) 5.SLR (617hp, 575 lb-ft) 6.CLK63 (500hp, 470 lb-ft) 7.R63 (503hp, 465 lb-ft) Audi 8.RS6 (580+hp, 480 lb-ft) 9.Q7 v12 TDI (500hp,738 lb-ft) BMW 10.M5 (507hp,383 lb-ft) 11.M6 (507hp, 383 lb-ft) Maybach 12.57S (612hp, 738 lb-ft) 13.62S (612hp, 738 lb-ft) 14.57 (543hp, 664 lb-ft) 15.62 (543 hp, 664 lb-ft) Porsche 16.911 gt2 (530 hp,505 lb-ft) (several 911 variants have over 500 hp) 17.Cayenne Turbo (500 hp, 516 lb-ft) I may have missed a few..if so feel free to post the ones I have missed. Let the competition begin!!!! Who has more powerful cars???? Germany has around 17. Lamborghini, Bentley and Rolls Royce are technically German companies now since theyve sold themselves..but for the sake of this competition we will give them to their original owners.

The automatic porsche 911 turbo is a mere 3.4 seconds for 0-60. The new one is going to be 3.0 for 0-60. The current z06 corvette is ofcourse slower 0-60 with a sluggish pace around 3.8 seconds (IN FIRST GEAR) and has less than 500 lb-ft or torque.The new one is supposed to be around 3.5 seconds which is still slower than the current (old) 911. The corvette therefore has less horsepower than a 911 gt2, less torque than a 911 gt2, is slower 0-60, and slower nurnbergring (lap) times. Price is the only difference but were not talking price here we're talking performance :)

american car with 650 hp on the rear wheels ? of course it will kick ass in the accelaration, but can it turn into the right direction, not the opposite direction ?

Great

The Z06 beats the 911 turbo in just about everything including handling, and at the ring. Just look it up, fanboys! The only thing that the Vette doesn't match up is steering feel/feedback. I don't know why some people think it doesn't handle well just because it's american. Give credit where credit is do. It's no Porsche obviously, but it's a damn good car!
