Not to take away from those cars i believe they are amazing cars and think i will own 1 soon. And just so you understand corvettes are my favorite not becaus they are the most expensive or fastest or best looking or anything like that, because they are not what they are is one of the most practical 2 seat high performance spots car that you can take to a track day beat on some expensive cars or go to any car meet and fit in. I daily drive a c6 z06 and people are always surprised of how huge the trunk is but the most important part to me is how much fun they are and as much as there are many cars faster its not the same without a stick.

[@EagleScoutmano]

Ironic that you think the big V8 would dramatically change the weight/weight distribution of the car... When both the LS family and the S2000 i4 engines weigh around 350-450 lbs, depending on what exact equipment is included (with both quoting 450-ish for a dressed engine). The LS family of engines are legendary for their compact external dimensions and low weight, making them ideal engines to swap into even fairly lightweight vehicles... Because even a typical 2.0L i4 weighs as much or more than them, despite routinely having half the HP...

So nice to see an actual *race* of cars, not just a battle of lap times. It's true that you won't get a truly even comparison of all the cars' full capabilities (a good cornering car will be held up in the turns by a car with better straight-line speed), but it makes for so much more of an exciting spectacle.

The 370Z was at 100%. It's a relatively cheap street car after all. After a few laps the Z heat soaked; which has more to do with the factory cooling system than the tune. This is to be expected. The cars it was going up against are big money track cars. They're built for this and you pay for the refinement.

Impressive to see, as the Corvette becomes more and more european it can finally compete. Dampers, springs, brakes and several other parts are german or italian thus making it much more refined but also more expensive since quality is expensive after all. The ZR1 is a Corvette I would really like to drive one day.

Those corvettes ZR1 are pretty fast And they're really hard to find now. A lot of those cars fell into collector's hands. Here in America is really hard to find A Corvette ZR1.

I'm a Corvette guy rooting for my ride, BUT that Ferrari was in its rearview the entire time and was clearly the better car. Just couldn't get around it. The 370Z had no business being on the track with those cars. In fairness, it has a base price half that of the next most expensive vehicle (the ZR1).

[@BNR_248]

As a jdm guy, who hopes to attain a ferrari one day, I think that Zr1 was a bit handicapped, not sure if it was driver issue or just the general setup of the car (tyres, suspension, etc). Based on other reviews ive seen, zr1 should be much more cleaner around the corners. Looks like he was all over the shop in a few laps. Even the drift king himself questioned the ZR1 driver towards the end of the video.

[@prod.knwctrl4517]

@@zombielivesmatter7294 when all their power's in the top end, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the drivers are almost full sending the honda & ferraris into the corners, they're mid-engined, they have much less torque-y motors, and they gladly rev up to high hell & back. you can literally hear the zr1 driver trying his damndest not to spin it at around 2500-3000rpm while coming out of those low speed corners from the amount of torque it wants to put down. don't get me wrong, the corvette is an awesome machine, this track & tire combination just wasn't ideal for it.

[@EagleScoutmano]

The C4 was banned from certain racing series because Porsche and the Japanese cars could not compete, way back in the 1980s. Therefore, throughout the 1980s, they had a separate Corvette-only racing series. C4 ZR1 was one of the fastest (and best handling) vehicles on the planet at its time. C5 Z06, and even more so the C6 Z06, were both excellent supercars capable of taking on anyone's entry to mid level cars (like the 360 Modena or F430) in their time. Corvettes didn't take 50 years, you've just had your head in the sand for 30 of 'em... Also, incidentally, the 'Vette is about to turn 70, not 50.

[@Steven-re3id]

@@EagleScoutmano the C4 was banned because it competed with the slowest Porsche model and with the rx7 which wasn't even the fastest. The C4 zr1 was the fastest of its time? haha you forget the nsx, ferraris 911s and practically 20 more european and japanese cars, even the honda prelude of its time turned faster than the c4 zr1 in some tests. The c5 z05 was the one that started to drive well yet it was slower than an nsx with a chassis over 14 years old and 150hp less
