I figured with another 150 hp (torque?) and a curb weight 500 lbs lighter than that of Nissan's GTR that the ZR1 would have a greater than 3 second difference around Nurburgring.

I guess hp/weight isnt everything, oh and the GTR attained ULEV emissions too? Wow.
Same MSRP? Wow.
The potential of the GTR with 635 hp? Hmmm.
If I wasnt aware of our looming energy crisis and the complete depletion of petroleum within a few decades, and if I had $80 laying around I know where my money would go.
If GM survives, it is in their best interest to evolve with the rest of the automotive world and adopt AWD for the remainder of the petroleum party. If its one thing I didnt particularly enjoy about the vettes/f bodies it would be the complete lack of traction in 1st gear with any tire with a treadwear rating over 100.
How is everyone? Enjoying the $2 gasoline?
