Around the Nurgburgring it beat the Enzo and the 458, but you’re right about it losing to the ACR.

Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 - 7:26.4  
Ferrari Enzo Ferrari - 7:25.3

How far back we going because “used to” is a pretty wide range of years.

Also, I don’t consider cars that close to be “rape”

The new viper is a Bitch. Heavy and less power…my gen II is faster. Hope ACR adds a blower and tons of suspension under it because dodge failed on that car.

Look for Hennessey’s dyno of the new Gen 5… Dodge made him pull all the youtub vids. 527rwhp and 499rwtq.

Did I see this correct. The ACR is the same price as the ZR1?

Guess this would be the updated list.

Since in this list the ZR1 seems to “rape” the Ferrari then the ACR rapes the ZR1.

Who cares? Are you going to run either car at that track? No. For a 100k I rather buy other cars, something more rare that you don’t see at all.

How often are you seeing these cars? I’ve seen one ZR1 on the road. 1.

Generally speaking the more money you spend, the more rare the car is lol…

Unfortunately, to the normal person… a corvette is a corvette, z06/zr1/base model. People just see a corvette and thats all. They are everywhere.

Just up on [motortrend.com](http://motortrend.com), kinda relevant on the cock measuring in this thread:

[https://youtu.be/ExgJxgNSWtk](https://youtu.be/ExgJxgNSWtk)

I think the ZR1 has a tire advantage in that video.

I personally prefer carANDdriver and their lightning lap history, here the ACR is faster:

I don’t know the exact specs of the new Viper, but less power? I thought it went up 40 hp?

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

Also don’t get me wrong, I like vettes and stangs, but they’re not distinguishable enough, a 40k vette looks very similiar to a ZR1, there’s no personality, and there’s a million of em all over the place. That’s why I like the Viper, there’s only about 25k of them, very noticeable and different, besides being awesome of course.

I fail to see your complaint. Most people wish they could own a 100k car. Chevy makes a car that looks similar/almost the same for 40k to 100k? Why is that an issue? Sure a lot of people own them… wouldnt that be a good thing for an automaker and something that will get them money? People buy the car for a reason, you seem them everywhere for a reason. I mean if you want, they can change the price tag so you see much less of them and more a supercar scene.
