Re: More ZR1 News
With modifications I don't think i need to use launch control....i mean really 3.3 -3.5....the turbo's hit hard...as you can imagine once tweaked up abit.
I with all my heart WANT the Zr1 to be better....mod for mod. Stock for stock.
Doesn't the Zr1 ,in a sense , represent America? So Nissan comes up with a sly sceme , 2000 cars a year.(its basicaly like the NSX was) a small #'s production car that they put alot of tech into. Look at how much buzz is going on about it....
Nissan dealers walk in traffic has tripled. Smart Japanese.!. While loving the Zr1.....you 've got to admire the GTR's track ability. Didn't Audi get kick out of certain types of track racing because of its dominance over the group due to AWD..
Awd is great.....but Still i prefer to swing the back out and steer with my gas pedal.
Yet the conflition exsists...the GTR is more comfortable and easier at its limit.
I love it and hate it for that.....meaning anyone can look like a champ in the GTR with 0 skill... the Zr1 is for a (hu)man to drive.
The Zr1 is faster and over on the GTR. but the caveat is "with the right driver"
2 drivers of below average skill.....and the win will go to the electronic Nannie driven GTR. This angers me.( in a Zr1 GTR face off)
Lets roll reverse and put launch and all other means of chassis control on the Zr1....then lets go and play.
.
What the Japanese have some sort of voodoo magic that allows a heavier less powerful car to equal the fastest most powerful and most technologicaly advanced Corvette ever made on the Nurinburing?
No they apply advanced tech to their car. i mean it isn't even close to being balanced 50 /50
Zora always wanted a mid engine...and i beleive later in life, awd for the vette.Why not honor him..and put this war to a rest. At least the awd would do it....but both would be unbeatable.
I hope you friend with the red Zr1 keeps kicking ass. Now the question begs.....does he use different tires for track vs 1/4 racing?
thats another area where the GTR does very well, due totally to its nannies and Awd.
An Awd...Zr1 C7. Hell GM do it like the japanese....copy.
