Who the **** picked those cars? Worlds best what, Drivers? Bullshit. Gayest **** ever. Why not a ZR1? Why the ZL1? BRZ? vs Lamborghini vs Mclaren,....vs a Cobra,....vs a Jag?....vs a what kind of Porsche, the kind that don't matter?
****. Super cool idea,...**** though. Viper? Ferrari? NA Benz? ****, would have been better grabbing a big bodied twin turbo car. They should have the worlds best cars line up. Bring that **** on, like they did that one year, money really shouldn't matter. Bring the ferrari, the enzo or whatever, lambo this or that,..Zr1, GT2 Porsche...GTR....Viper..Mclaren....Benz SLR..ISF.....Veyron....everything. Dunno if it would be fare or not but a Venom GT would be nice for the Bugatti.
Anyways, these cars suck. Shitbag random "high I smoke crack and pick cars to race eachother" lame lame group of cars.

Folks missed the point of this test... Drivers car as in best handling cars out there and obviously you cant test ALL of them so thats the group they were able to get together. In the meantime its a great video and the ZL1 got slaughtered as expected. The GT500 was quicker than most thought. The almighty GTR got walked and well who can be mad at the cute chick in the BRZ.

Another thing with these best drivers car comparos are they used new and revised car models that were available at the time, hence the reason the ZR1(didn't change), and the new viper (wasn't released yet) weren't in the mix. The GT-R changed three years in a row, the ZL1 was a new trim of Camaro and the GT500 was masssively changed. Also the 991 just came out, the reason why the Porsche was there. The same goes for the Mclaren and Aventador which both came out.
Either way the Mclaren and Aventador would whoop the ZR1 in a drag race at any speed. Then you guys would cry, "put a driver in the ZR1 and watch it beat both" or "put a pulley and tune on the ZR1" LOL

LOL funny that everyone in this thread is bitching about the ZR1 not being in this drag race video. Motor trend didn't choose it for their comparo. Bring it up with them. The ZR1 isn't the end all be all car in performance.

LOL No but seriously... Don't give a ****. I would have expected the ZR1 to take a loss to both the Aventador and the McLaren, being very close to the McLaren.
I personally would like to see a 70-80k msrp drag race. So that wouldn't include the ZR1. That BRZ in there was a waste of a slot. Agree?
