Top Gear ZR1 Lap Time

The long awaited ZR1 around the Top Gear test track lap happened tonight here in the UK when they did a feature on the ZR1 vs the Audi R8 V10

Clarkson said that given the choice you should buy the ZR1 as it is a much more fun car to drive and you get a lot more as standard like ceramic brakes on the Corvette. The Audi back end was stepping out a lot coming out of the corners whereas even on the damp track where the Audis four wheel drive system should have given it an advantage, the ZR1 was flat out of the corners. I think if the track had been dry the ZR1 would easily have been in the 1.19's
(pd) by the way means partly damp!

Re: Top Gear ZR1 Lap Time

Thanks for the info. I love that show. I can't wait to watch that episode!

I hope they run the ZR1 around their track again some time when it is dry. I would like to see what kind of time the stig could get then.

Jeff

Re: Top Gear ZR1 Lap Time

yeah, the corvette is not a good wet traction car, especially on run flats. love to see what it can do on a dry track.
