I don't see how you guys think the time is gay.
The new Camaro is in some nice company on that list.

I believe that all it indicates is that the general was generous
to the Cobalt SS when they gave it a powerplant.

I would never have believed that. The Scuderia is a damn streetlegal racecar.


That makes the ZR1 times even more impressive....

7:37 --- Honda NSX test mule <-- Honda CEO demands fastest lap record
7:38 --- Mercedes SLR 722 GT
7.39 --- Ferrari 430 Scuderia
7.39 --- Porsche 997 GT3
7:40 --- Bugatti 16/4 Veyron <-- 1001hp but weight matters on the Ring

America has the fastest production car and king around the ring. How sweet it is.

What the ZR1 lacks in every other aspect, it makes up for it with power.

You don't run the fastest production lap at Nürburgring on power alone. Besides the asthetics, what "aspects" is the ZR1 "lacking"?

It was the 550hp supercharged version vs a 422hp camaro. I wouldn't call it a disgrace to lose to the 550hp LSA powered CTS-V. How many doors a car has has no bearing on it's performance.

You still didn't answer my question Obi-Wan Kenobi. Since you know everything about everything, why don't you fill me in a little on what the ZR1 "lacks in every other aspect". Thank you in advance.

the ZR1 is heavier, doesn't handle as good, doesn't shift as fast, has worse brakes (Ferraris will not fade)


so it comes down to the Zr1 having something like 120+ more RWHP than the Ferrari

You clearly know nothing about the ZR1. It uses the same brakes the Enzo has, so there goes that theory. Doesn't handle as well? It sure did lap the 'ring faster than any Ferrari. Again, power isn't everything when it comes to any kind of racing.

You are dumb if you think 120rwhp means nothing on the ring. 430 brakes > enzo
