To add to this though, GM shows its ZR-1 time on Youtube at 7:26 WITH A RUNNING START and the time appears to stop before where Jim Mero starts the lap, but it is probably just the case that the clock is shown on the video a few seconds after the lap actually began

EDIT: Garage419 did a video camparo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ-CNFpPCnk&feature=related

Is that a midget standing next to the car?

Very nice.

2 tenths behind the atom is pretty impressive seeing it weighs what, 1/3rd of the gtr? haha

my pants got a little tighter when he flew past the tires and the sound that thing made… ohhh

meh, power:weight is overrated when it comes to road course, imo.

i will second that!! man turbo nissans always sound sooo good

Wow.

Wow.

What are these cars going for at the dealerships?

Of all the things about this car the thing that impresses me most is the fact that they knurled the wheels to keep the tires in place!
WTF?
Is there any other production car that has knurled wheels?!?:biglaugh:
Changing tires must be fun.

haha, it corners so hard that it threw his neck out lol

^^

That part was staged.

it was still funny

GTR rear ended by R8 on Top Gear.
Repost?

Yeah they were filming / chasing and the R8 couldn’t stop fast enough and ran into the GTR. Same GTR the Stig drove on the test track too.
