Default Full Motor Trend Comparison - ZR1 Vette vs Porsche 911 Turbo



Motor Trend is really stepping up their videos lately.

This one is a full comparison between the ZR1 and the 911 Turbo... 0-60, 1/4 mile, FULL MILE, slalom, braking, skid pad, and road course.

Guess who they picked as the winner?

Seriously. I wonder why the Porsche broke at the end? ... "Both turbos failed"... is this an oil delivery problem.. etc?

Hey, I've got a good idea! Let's do a 1/4mile test with a 638hp ZR1 and launch the ****** off the rev limiter! Score!!!

Great vid though!

The ZR1 engine note at WOT 911 at WOT , the 911 sounds like a $140,000 hair dryer. Looks like the 911 tucked it's turbos between its legs at the end there, lol

Price aside why do they put 2 cars against each other that are 100+ hp different? Seems retarded. Put the ZO6 in there and ti will be alot closer. Prolly with the Porsche winning. I hate mis matches.
The Porsche does sound like **** though. Oh well

Seems to me that Porsche rates their cars closer to wheel horsepower, 1/4 mile times don't make sense for cars with 100 hp difference. MPH is very similar.

I find it amazing that the Porsche achieved a 3.0 flat 0-60. That is seriously hauling for a car with the creature comforts that a 911 Turbo has. I mean it's probably capable of hitting the 2.9x range with the right conditions. Crazy.

Well, when you spin first in the Vette you tend to lose a little the rest of the run....

Two lessons learned here:

1. Do not pick on a ZR1 on the street
2. When picking on a 911 turbo on the street, just keep in it and hope a turbo blows and you'll win
