The ACR Viper hit a 7:01, it probably would have broken 7 minutes on two occasions however on the first run that was running good they got a flat tire and on the second try they were short on time and instead of checking and changing the tires they stayed out and crashed.
The current ring king is the Porsche 911 GT2 RS with 6:47.3 and this is a car with 700BHP and coming in at 3,240 pounds. The ZR1 Corvette with 755BHP and 3,500ish pounds has a chance to counter this lap time, will it? I don't know. Last edited by doc7000; 03-29-2018 at 03:19 PM. |

It's a Vette, ie attainable supercar for the masses. An affordable competitor for things like baby Lambos and Ferraris. What do you propose it would be competing against at that power level? A Lamborghini Huracan starts at 200k and the most powerful one makes 630 hp. An Aventador starts at $399,500 and the most powerful one makes 740 hp. 800 in a Vette would literally make no sense.

I've actually been shopping the CPO market for a 2016 CTS-V vs. a 2014 MB AMG E63 S. Two great cars to buy used because of the massive depreciation. Even though the CTS-V is lighter and has more power, it's pretty much a no-brainer to go with the AMG for me at least because of these other factors.

The Vette is supposed to handle well. The Z06 was already annoying for professional drivers to handle on track with 650 HP. The 750 HP in the ZR1 will be somewhat tamed by aero, but it will still be well beyond what an average human can really use. At this point, you are just asking for numbers for numbers sake. The actual benefit to the end user is nil, and will make the car more of a headache to cope with. Especially if the owner actually uses it for what it was intended, ie not bragging about your dyno numbers to other hard parkers at Cars and Coffee. There's such a thing as diminishing returns. At that power level, you would really need AWD to make proper use of it, this would add weight, complexity, more things to break... I could go on and on. |

One small example would be my 52 year old Chevelle. You'd be stunned at how original the car appears down to the lowly 12 bolt differential. It does quite well at making 900 hp stick at launch. It's certainly not a road course type of car but not everyone who buys a Vette drives in circles either. This is 2018 and like it or not the engines are laying down very impressive power ratings. It's up to the end used to utilize the power. The overpriced Euro car's are sucking hind tit.

Clearly, we don't need more power for comparing ourselves to others, we need more chassis/drivetrain development so the Vette can continue to stick it to the Euros at a lower cost and higher reliability. Here's a previous gen ZR1, rated 20 hp more than the Huracan and weighing less. Watch the Huracan smoke it, all it took was AWD and DCT. Not more power.
