All that video proved is that the Porsche is a bit easier to hook up.

That was embarrassing. I wish they would redo the test on a non-sandy runway with a competent driver. Oh wait Motortrend already did that:

They did the same thing with the GT2 vs the Z06. The Z06 and GT2 AND even the ZR1 are all within 1-2 mph of each other and .1-.2 ET's...


Sooo, both tests, the GT2 is blistering in front? BS, and this video just proved how biased they really are.

1) zr1 driver didn't get the most out of that car, especially the launch.
2) porche driver could have started in a lower gear from that roll, and LOL when the zr1 pulls away he immeadiately starts with the whole "my turbo didn't spool immidiately, and he has a supercharger, and a bigger motor.

Nice vids guys! The number show how the ZR1 was driven and the 2nd vid is awesome. "how far we going?" "till we run out of payment" I pictured the GT-R saying, "Hey, wait for me guys."

Yea, pretty hard to get 638 s/c horses out from a dig on a sandy surface. Wish that was done on a real surface with a competant driver. That GT2 would have gotten drugged

Excuses, excuses. The Motor Trend video was good. I remember reading the article on when they compared all those cars together.

The ZR1 ran 12.05 in the 1/4 mile? Driver hit rev limiter and easy to hear in the video. The driver needs to and let someone who can drive do the test.

It's always painful to watch poor journalists muck up such a simple test/comparison...
