Looks like the vette could have overtaken him.

Be nice to see some times of a lap for each car. Looks like the corvette could have taken him by the slightest of margins.

For consistency that Lambo would be miles ahead of the ZR1. little more hp, less weight and AWD. Solid 10 second car all day long. Im just talking 10 races the lambo would be ahead the majority.

The zr1 is a great car and has been proven to be a good track car but you cant honestly think that it is hanging or even going to overtake that lambo. They are on a actual road, driving over $350,000 worth of cars, You dont think they are going to give it all it can take do you? They were being easy on the cars you can see it.

The zr1 is a remarkable car, but it is no 670 sv.

Haha no you dont... The zr1 is badass yes but it isnt that close to the 670. You do know the Lamborghini is all wheel drive right lol

Which means more drivetrain loss as well. I would think on a dyno they'd be putting down the same numbers. The lambo has it's weight advantage still though.

He was babying that Lambo. No way the ZR1 has that much pull coming out of the turns that he has to let off the throttle to avoid rear ending him.

actually, the vette is about 100 lbs lighter then the sv and has 110+ more lb-ft of torque. though it is missing 23hp to the lambo. performance wise, they are almost dead on every where except for their top speeds. as far as consistency? that lambo would probably need a new clutch after ten hard runs down the 1320. would i take the vette over the lambo though? not likely.

The Lambo has a clutch, but it's operated electro-hydraulically, so I'm not sure it would have too many problems burning through them.

Too bad they didn't put the ZR1 out front and let the Lambo try to keep pace.

Obviously they weren't going all out but taking it easy? I find it hard to believe they were taking it easy considering the dude in the ZR1 was shitting himself when it was steppin out on turns and getting air.

And like marc says i wanna see the vette out front

The vette is on an off the throttle like crazy, especially coming out of the turns against an AWD vehicle with similar weight and power. Yet the vette doesn't lose ground when lifting?!
He might have caught himself off guard on that jump, but that was definitely no race.

That same driver is in a few other videos on the same track getting air with other vehicles. I am sure he wasn't off guard on the jump. They weren't going all out with the cars, or else they would at least had a helmet on.
