The Vette's specialty is FAR from being just straight line performance.. and has been a DOMINANT player in the above series/races...

either way, both cars will be bad ass, both will be out of the majority of our price ranges... both should push the competitors to step it up (hopefully).
pick your poison.
Those cars arnt built by chevy though, they share virtually nothing with the street car, except the bare frame.
GT series GTRs are the same, they share pretty much nothing with the street car.
In LeMans the only cars that are similar to the street versions are the ones in the GT2 class. (GT3 rsr and the F430)
anyways I think its ignorant to compare the ZR1 to the GTR, they are in two completly different catigories and everyone knows that. The ZR1 would kill the GTR hands down. Its got the power and the weight to crush anything practically. but the GTR has 4 seats and alot more luxuries and technology into it than the vette. The vette is a classic sports car, less weight and more power = faster then everything else. but just look at the steering wheel, com'on its the same fucking thing as a cobalts. refinment has never been the vettes upside. But you cant say that for the GTR.
Also to call the Z06's suspension better than the GTR is also ignorant. To make a 3800lb car faster than a 3200lb car(zo6) that also has 30 or so more hp they have to be doing something incredible. Because Porsche couldnt do it with the 997 turbo and it has more power and less weight then the GTR.
Anyways, both cars will be amazing in their own right. So stop with the comparing bullshit and be glad companies are making such bad ass cars. because they way i've been reading it isnt going to last.....
