Zr1: 3325 lb 638.0 bhp  
599: 3865 lb 611.5 bhp  
GT2: 3175 lb 523.0 bhp  
GTR: 3836 lb 473.0 bhp

Now if you wanna see something funny, goto the end of this video for the drag race and watch the GTR get WAXED up a PDK base 911 C2.

Just more damning evidence the Nurburgring ring car was a “ringer”.

thanks Mike.

thumbs up to porsche and Chevy for actually paying attention to weight.

seriously. i remember a comparison test a ways back (i forget which magazine) where they had a carrera c4 up against an evo and some other stuff and the c4 was hundreds of lbs lighter than an evo and i was amazed especially with everything getting so heavy nowadays.

the z06 is lighter but the zr1 is still a reasonable weight for today.

Safety First!!! :mamoru:

The video was nice visually but it looked like it was slapped together as a high school project. “How far we going?”… “errr, till we run out of pavement”

i dunno. i just watched the whole vid and all of the other cars got trounced on the road course by the gtr. though it got edged out by the 911 at the end it still had a better 1/4 mi time and mph. it looks like it just got beat by a better reaction time at the start.

you usually provide better evidence than this mike. 🙂
