Void Crusader - Plenty of issues in every post.

I'm just incredibly happy the ZR1 is the Ring King.

OK, so the answer is "no", I guess.
You take a deep breath and relax, everything's cool.

And spare me from US school grade humor, I won't understand it anyway.

Ok? Does this work for you?



Super Green!

I'm pretty sure these folks are GTR fans too. The "anti-ZR1" crowd.

Uhm, and when exactly I said anything negative about ZR1?

I'm really worried that you are even more delusional than the mental health professional thinks.

Even considering error margin of these measurements ZR1 is too far behind.
Yes, you were saying?

Re: ZR1 Nurburgring Video

my understanding is that the GTR ran on factory tires that are not on the US car but are available in Japan. Also, even though we know THAT GTR did that time its doubtful a US spec car like the one in the latest C&D issue could duplicate that time. The GTR in C&D was only .6secs faster than the Z06 around the track and it was beaten handily by the Viper gtr. Every GTR tested by C&D has been slower than the last one. Only the third one is a true US production car.

How much it will cost in real world?
I would think its going to be available for closer to sticker than the GTR since Nissan is sending 1200 to the US a year.

I'm pretty sure that there's going to be a hefty markup on the zr1 as well, they're only building 2000 for worldwide distribution. Can we please stop trying to compare the two in every way possible??? Its not sacrilege to like a car not made by GM, stop looking for reasons to hate it.

Re: ZR1 Nurburgring Video

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a huge V8 Pushrod 2 valve kinda guy... I DO respect them, and know a lot of them, I juts typically don't prefer them.

The reason why, is because the heads usually SUCK.

BUT, these heads flow amazingly, and like I said, I'm not gonna lie that car at 6400 rpm, start to sound straight up like a very well tuned burley monster of a motor.

WOW...

I dont hate the GTR. Spare me the accusations of being a GM fanboy who doesnt like any other cars. The GTR is ugly and thats not just because its a Nissan. The performance is great but the car is unsightly.

This cant be true if the car ran a Japanese spec tires then it MUST also run a Japanese spec car and nowhere in that run did I see the 180km/h speed limiter.
