a little bit of brake boosting would have probably evened up the second run from a roll.
Says that both cars do a 11.3 in the quarter with the ZR-1 being the one with the more mph.
GT2 being 200 lbs lighter and 100 hp less. Dont really see it. but maybe its in the gearing.

edit:... really not sure how they come up with they both run an 11.30 as the ZR-1 0-60 is done in 3.4 and the GT2 in 3.6.

The ZR-1 standing quarter mile is at 11.30 @ 131 and the GT2 is 11.3 @122. So they ZR-1 has a better 0-60 and more mph in the quarter but they run the same times?!?!?!?!?

 

they said at the end that the 911 had stickier tires... put the same rubber on the vette and i bet we see a different outcome.

 

As stated need driver MOD... there is a motor trend vid that matches up the Gt2, 599, GTR and Zr1 it has the out come most would expect...

edit think this is it

Comparing those cars by straight line performance is fucking retarded.

 

.. I think using 1 measure of performance and thinking its the do all end all is retarded... this gives us a part of what the cars can do but far from everything... people basing their opinion on one drag race only will show their lack of knowledge... so guess what im trying to say is. comparing straight line performance isn't retarded, using that 1 bit of info as the only info is fucking retarded

 

When launching on a slick dusty surface, like they were testing on, the GT2 will take much less driver skill to get off the line fast since it has the sticker tires( pilot sport cups), launch control, and is rear engine. So it is not a suprise that the noob ZR1 driver got his ass handed to him on the launch by the GT2 driver on that surface. The other thing you have to remember is that the guy driving was a Brit so he was shifiting with the wrong hand. With the right launch technique, the ZR1, even on stock tires, can get off the line pretty well. I got it to pull a 1.75 60' time and a 11.05 ET.

 

GTR LOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

It looked like the vette was leaving a stoplight...

 

all i could think about in this video was "all your GTR are belonging to us"

 

GT2s make me moist

 

Look at their 60ft. I'm betting that will explain all.
