Cool VIDEO: Garage419 split-screens the ZR-1 and GT-R 'Ring laps



Originally Posted by AutoBlog
The Nurburgring is the most famous and grueling track on the planet. In the past, the 'Ring didn't get much attention aside from track day hoons and the occasional manufacturer test, but lately the big test has been to get around the circuit with the best time possible. Nissan's GT-R lapped the 'Ring in a stunning 7:29:03, which blew the doors off of vehicles costing four-times as much. The 638 hp Corvette ZR1 became the new Nordschleife leader with a 7:26.4 time, but talk about the actual start time of both vehicles has kept message boards and our comments section popping.

The guys over at Garage419 settled the question by syncing up the two videos at the pit exit sign and playing them side by side. They also provided a single master timer to ensure that the times are as accurate as possible. Hit the jump to view both laps at the same time. It's fun to see which vehicle handles curves and strait-aways better, and a clear winner is established.

Don't forget the GTR is on racing slicks with a seasoned racing driver and the ZR1 is the engineer, good driver but lets face it no pro race driver and stock factory tires.

Factory everything height, tune and tires. Its funny how the nissan people bench race the v-spec on other forums.
