Corvette ZR1 Again Spotted on Nurburgring For those that don't know, the ZR1 is far more capable than the Z06. The ZR1 brakes are far superior than the Z06's (much larger carbon ceramic rotors with far superior calipers with more pad area than the Z06's). The tires on the ZR1 are not run flat tires like what are on the Z06, which was a big handicap for the Z06 at Nurburgrin. The ZR1's tires are specially designed by Michelin. The Pilot Sport 2's are 285/30ZR19's front, 335/20ZR20 rears compared to the run flat Goodyears (which are much heavier than the Michelins) on the Z06 are 275/35ZR18's in front and 325/30ZR19's out back. These tires were designed just for the ZR1 and are wider and have far superior grip than the Z06's. Suspension on the ZR1 is setup for the track more than what you can dial in with the Z06's suspension. The ZR1 has a setting that will not compromise handling for the comfort of the ride (No comfort at all, just how it has to be for the track) also, the fact that the ZR1 has over 130 more horsepower than the Z06 makes me think that the ZR1 should have no problem beating 7m29s time of the GTR. The Z06 and ZR1 are completely different vehicles on the inside, they just happen to look alike on the outside ;-)

Corvette ZR1 Again Spotted on Nurburgring How many people ar going to take these cars on a track? Most likely they will meet at a stop light! And if the Z06 smoked the GTR in the 1/4 mile, what do you think the ZR1 will do to it? You can talk track racing all day long, but when it comes down to it, it's going to be a street race in the end! Victory ZR1 easily.

Corvette ZR1 Again Spotted on Nurburgring This place is full of Idiots! The GTR was just slightly faster than the Z06 on the track, I just read in I think it was motortrend or one of the others, (this was a head to head contest, not a paper one) not only did the Z06 have the same 0-60 time as the GTR but it pulled away by the 1/4 mile mark. By 130mph the Z06 left the GTR in it's dust all the way past 175 by a wide margin. Why would any of you Idiots think that the ZR1 wont outrun the GTR. Just flat out haters on this board that know nothing about performance.
