Interesting quote from another forum I agree with:
lol, when a supra wants a 60mph roll race they are a ricer, when a vette wants a roll race.....................................

What a ******* bitch. Thats the type of tool bag I'd want to walk up to after the race and knock his damn teeth in after seeing the vid from his car.
Never cared much for GTR's, never will. Bad *** ZR1. At least the vette owner can walk away knowing he isn't a huge duesh.

You underestimate what a RWD car can do when it 100% can hook from any speed or gear. This ZR1 shouldnt put any more time or money into hp... set that thing up to hook. So when a GTR, evo, or whatever AWD wants to try to pick on a big hp RWD car from a low roll or dig, he wont have any problems abliging.

As for high rolls, the bottom line is both cars wanted to exploit where there cars do the best. The ZR1 wanted the high roll and the GT-R wanted to low roll so at the end of the day they wanted the same thing, to win. The GT-R owner, despite being a douche won that day, **** happens.

Not underestimating anything here. One thing you fail to realize is a GT-R or AWD vehicle doesn't need to adjust it's traction set up to run well on pavement, prepped track or anything. It can perform well from a dig or a low roll fine.

Which brings me back to my original statement. Set the ZR1 up to actually HOOK.. and no i dont mean roll into the throttle or any of that bs. I mean beat the **** out of the transmission/driveline with your foot to the floor from a dead stop or low roll. If you do a 30 roll and cant put the gas pedal to the floor and hit second as fast as you can without breaking any tire....then more HP is not your answer. While my car makes 150whp less then this ZR1, it still hooks like it only makes 200hp. I know i can add quite a bit more power and not worry about traction being an issue.

A 10 roll would be retarded to do in a car that goes to a little over 60 in 1st and has all that instant tq. At that point me literally would be better off doing a dig lol

Im fully capable of understanding that... RWD has been around since the model T. Any car setup correctly will have no issues hooking with 600whp. I have still yet to see ANY GTR or AWD car duplicate the 60 foots of a setup RWD car. Hell even the latest alpha 12 record car still only cut a 1.4X 60 ft. My buddies NA LT1 has cut 1.28 60 fts off the foot .

Couple corrections,...it was a supercharged corvette, and a supra. And now, A GTR. Sounds like some fucked up fast and furious movie. Typical thing with most high powered vette owners/drivers, they can't drive. So if they can afford it, they go auto, if not, they sell it and buy a GTR. Then you have supras. Everyone knows, the majority of them, all run twelves. Especially if you,..wait for it,....can't drive. So, you get beat, by a gtr. Then,..you sell them both,..and boom, GTR for life, YO. Super Uber, Sven.

Funny Generalization by the way. I know you're not a grudge racer but I've yet to see **** from your car.
