This is the first inkling of any release of the ZR1 beating anything on the ring from an independent 3rd party. I wonder if GM caught word that it was out there and made it disappear? Big difference between the head engineer saying what it should do vs. a media party dissecting how it “crushed the GTR” at the ring. ---

whoa 1:38 into it looks like he almost loses it…takes some serious balls to drive like that. and i dont know why people insist that this is such a big deal…no shit the ZR1 is going to beat the GT-R. Compare the C6 ZO6 to the GT-R, that’s more fair. or if/when it comes out, the GT-R Spec V to the ZR1 ---
