Well, the time slip I posted was verified and signed by a witness. And as far as the video goes, You can see the time and the car running it.

If you really have that hard of a time believing it,I guess you could call Myth Busters.

"How do you know the tires were really stock?" Just some guy said so. "Maybe the timing equipment is faulty."

If you are determined not to believe something, nothing can change your mind.

I googled the witnesses name. He either owns, or is a manager at M.I.R. (the dragstrip at which this took place.) Still not enough? I guess you could water board him and the vette owner.

Feel free to contact him: jmiller@mirdrag.com

ohhh.....i misread your 1st post. I thought you said most suspected that is WAS better than the GT. If it wasn't as fast as the GT than it probably was right around the current Z06 time....Which means the zr1 will be much faster

Thats nice and all, but I wouldn't even spend that much money on the first Supra....or even a Supra period. Theres many better things to do with that money.

Yeah its cool to say "I own the world's first C6 ZR1" but like I said, I wouldnt spend that much money to be able to say that. Whatever floats his boat.

If you had as much money as that guy than you wouldn't think of 1,000,000$ as a lot of money at all.

kicking everything's ass? yea its a great car, but the current z06 ring times arent that special...

i am awaiting the time for the ZR1 though...definitely should be in the 7:38 or better range

(sidenote: the 2009 GTR driven by nissan's test driver did 7:38 on stock runflats and a partially wet track)

oh and bench racing for the lose lol...

this thread has gone way off topic i think
