and the car is tunable.
Also the Driver only drove it for like 4 hours and I believe their was alot of head wind.The driver does drive in the nurburgring alot allthough but I believe the engineeres said it could probably get 7:20 down.
Also the gears on the ACR suck for long tracks like the nurburgring and it still did great unlike the Zr1 which was pretty much build with the nurburgring time in mind.

I don't think he meant completely incapable of being daily driven. Over all though, the ZR1 is supposed to be much more tame than the ACR, and even the Z06. Thats why whenever you see them testing one they are always amazed at how subtle it seems till you put the throttle down. ZR1 is still better
A daily driver is defined by what someone is willing to put up with.....
When my 83 was together the guy that built it pretty much drove it all the time (built BBC car) and the vast majority of the people have have seen in on the road would say its not a daily driver...
If I was going to spend that kind of money on a car I would get a Ferrari or an older 6 second pro stock car or something hahaha.

Radicals AREN'T street legal.
I know, because my old boss raced one in the One Lap of America. We had to fiberglass a cockpit for it, and meet DOT criteria in a number of areas. Then we had to TRAILER the car to Concord, NH. Where it had to be inspected by the State. It was a narrow stretch to achieve, and might not even be doable today.
Laws are changing fast, and things are getting restrictive even in NH!
Regardless, with 210HP and approx. 1200 lbs it was a blast on the street. Far from street legal though initially.
