And this is what I hate about this channel.

🏆Great races! Thanks! It’s impressive how the Nissan, a car designed in 2007/08 can hang on to sport cars launched in 2024! By the way, the ZL1 could do better with a driver mode. Not that the driving was bad, but the ZL1 is just hard to get the best performance with an average driver (on the 2nd roll race the GTS was on auto mode and the ZL1 driver was using the paddle shifters, I could heard it “clicking”). Besides that, the big rear wing is not ideal for high speeds.

[@SizakeleComfortMtshweni]

We can conclude that AMG GTS is a GOAT

[@danieldickerson4838]

The ZL1 1LE was going to have a disadvantage from the start due to its aero giving it a lot of drag at higher speeds, and its stiff DSSV dampers. I don’t know if it was the only variant available to test with, but a non-1LE ZL1 with the same 10-speed would’ve performed better. Though, for an incredibly track focused car, the 1LE did well.

[@jcizal1424]

I agree with the last bit, both are my dream cars, nice race

[@chrism869]

bro the gts was neck and neck with the zl1 in the final drag race

[@nickorzel6633]

A used Camaro ZL1 is the best bang for the buck and is impressive against cars that cost 3 times as much.

[@nickbrehm3890]

Not that it would change the outcome, but using the 1LE version of the ZL1, with all the extra drag, was kind of a cop out. Should of run the base ZL1. It’s a solid .2-.4 seconds quicker

[@andrewSUN17]

TO all the naysayers and complainers, the GTR is STILL a boss on the road and look at how it does on a drag strip!!! Still the exotic one for me and sadly it wont be here very long! So well developed and refined and also handbuilt! Keep me aware of your GTR hunt! I m on one for later this year as well! The dream would be to own a brand new last year model, but it seems that people are going to go nuts trying to gain access to one ASAP. Maybe you will find one that has not been beat on for me haha! I do like the special colors the green or multi shades, even the metallic gray or silver to be slightly low pro!

Man, the fact that the GT-R keeps up to modern sports/super cars is insane. No wonder I was such a fanboy back in the day. Honestly, if Nissan would just give it a modern transmission but keep everything else with some new styling, they could probably keep the GT-R around for at least another 5 years without spending too much. The race between the ZL1 and old AMG GT was great! Didn't know it would be that close! I prefer the old AMG GT to the new one though with the weight difference and dry sump system I loved both comparisons today. Today's video was awesome!

[@itsme-Onceagain]

from a GTR owner who drove performance models from other makes like Audi R8, BMW M, Merc E63S, Aventador, porsches: Changing to the GTR was the best choice, never regretted until today. It was also the fastest among all and the only car that brings along emotions. the R8 and Aventador was closest to it, the rest was just too tamed and comfortable. They are quick too of course, just not as fast as the GTR even tho its a 2008 model. I rebuilt the whole car from head to toe and it pushes 1100hp now with 1300nm torque.

It's a 1LE which has tons of aero for road courses and creates a ton of drag the higher in speed you go. It's focused more on high speed cornering than straight line speed. They need a regular ZL1. They always do stuff like this on this channel.
