@@boywonderrr71 Yeah, I mean they are trying their best for that magic "sub-seven" lap time. Meanwhile, in actual reality, any tourist can go there on any public track day and buy a faster lap from one of the many ring drivers located at the ring. In a modded BMW or whatever they use. And why... Why would Americans go over there and try to beat anyone. At great expense. MOST supercars are not factory benchmarked at the Ring because it tells you nothing about how the car drives and handles for a normal customer. However it was really strange to see Mustangs new Ring attempt. 350 grand worth of racing gear and it was still no faster than a 7-8 years old Porsche GT3 RS.

lol at all the dorks on your previous post shitting on the Vette saying Chevy lies about the C8’s numbers! Despite the constant posts by owners proving otherwise.

[@captain_context9991]

Yes owners post "proof" that the claims are real... Because the onboard computer shows in the display that you did impossibly fast 0-60 times. To match the factory hype. GM has done the impossible. They have created a car that lies to its owner to make them feel better about themselves. The onboard computer automatically deducts a couple of tenths to account for that "rollout" that ONLY American cars do. And only american cars stop the clock at 60 mph. When industry standard is 62. Every single time. There is only ONE reason why America cannot deliver industry standard numbers... Because they would not even be top 30 on the list of available cars. Doesnt it ever get embarrassing? Imagine if Porsche and Ferrari had designed cars that lie to their owner. They would be the laughing stock of the industry for decades.

​@markbunn8576 yes, and I don't disagree. However, this is supposed to be "sportscars", competing on "normal" street on normal asphalt. We all need to compeed in quite similar conditions.

you're just speculating, you dont know the gear or the rpm in which the run was done in, if its at redline in the max gear then its done regardless of air

These factory claims are typically done on pre-production development cars that are often raced up, stripped out, using racing fuel, or run on a different gearing ratio than the cars on sale. Proof of that is... The car hasnt entered production yet, so.

[@creolecajun9988]

If the ZTK model with wing has the faster 1/4 mile time however the standard gets up toi 2 mph faster. What that tells me is without the wing the standard ZR1 will have more top speed and probably smoke the ZK1 model in the 1/2 mile

[@brandonjacobo4965]

Oh Forsure

[@TheRobSJ]

Last ZR1 traps about 2mph higher in 1/2 miles. Not exactly getting smoked by a low wing car, but definitely you start noticing the drag difference above 150mph. This is why the last ZR1 has a top speed of 212 with the low wing and. ZTK can barely crack 200. The C8 ZR1 will absolutely have the same outcome between the low wing and ZTK cars.

[@BEBNC1]

@@TheRobSJthat 212 was recorded with the ZTK package

[@micahdavidmorningstar4176]

They just copied what the Germans did by under powered the real numbers but actually the car has probably 50bhp more than claiming. BMW Porsche Mercedes do it all the time. Even their 0-60 n quatermile time is moderate. Porsche 911 992 Turbo S says 0-60 is 2.5s but actually saw a 2.1s and quater mile they claim at 10.5s flat but saw times hitting 10.1s It's a very smart move to claim the least amount than claiming the to best run.

[@captain_context9991]

No always what Corvette does is they have a factory racing team that they send out to different tracks to set wildly optimistic "benchmarked" times and performance figures that no customer will ever experience in a lifetime with their own cars. Porsche, BMW, and the rest... They dont undershoot their numbers as some form of trickery, they quote the kind of numbers that a customer can actually do in real life. So when Corvette claims 3.2 seconds, and then try it in reality, its going to be more like 3 and a half seconds. Then they will blame the road, the tyres, the weather, and other things. But when Porsche claims 2.8, and then you try it and you get 2.7, then the customer feels good about himself instead of having to look for excuses. Spot the difference. The new thing now with every Corvette since the C8, is that the onboard computer TELLS you 2.3 seconds even if you didnt. So Corvette has invented the first car in the world that lies to its owner. Imagine if BMW or Porsche had done that. They would be the laughing stock of the world.

[@sleeeper88]

152 mph is 9 flat mph if the car can 60ft hard.

[@erichaley6776]

I’m excited for GM but remember folks! There’s one more car left in the C8 pipeline the Zora! That’s crazy. GM just throwing down the gauntlet on everyone. Now please stop calling this car a damn,”sports car!” Its earned its stripes to be called a “hypercar” and the Z06 should be considered as a supercar. Now I’m done

[@michaeldodd9302]

👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@leofhr2966]

Well the Z06 is a "Sportscar" and the ZR1 is a "Supercar". It can't be considered a "Hypercar" because of the meaning and or definition of the word "Hypercar". What are the requirements for a hypercar? Like the Bugatti Chiron, a hypercar must reach speeds of over 200 mph. Like the Lamborghini Centenario, a hypercar must have a limited production run. Like the Aston Martin Vulcan, a hypercar must be incredibly light. Like the Ferrari LaFerrari, a hypercar must cost the earth. That's how most Hypercars are described, while the ZR1 does reach close to SOME of those criteria, it doesn't exactly fit in. "Supercar" makes more sense for it

[@larrytaylor5488]

FACTS !

[@andersmaach]

But yes, Bugatti would have used it too, if it was the better solution overall.

[@shamrock-]

Chevy has a history of under promise and over deliver stats. Remember the Cobalt SS? Claimed 205hp, and dyno results were 212hp.

It's only slightly slower than the Koenigsegg Jesko at around 9.4 or 9.5 vs 9.6 this is a 4.2 million dollar car. I know the chassis of the Corvette Zr1 is close to the stiffness of the Jesko. But as important Zr1 not even the fastest accelerating version as GM been seen testing an even higher spec car with similar to the E-Ray possibly the Zora that could drop a sub 9 . The only American car that has done that feat under the most perfect test was the Lucid Sapphire but it more likely a 9.1or 9.2 and the Tesla Model S Plaid 9.3. The Sapphire was doing 152 and the Plaid was doing 148 at the end of the quarter. Plaid is just crazy good off the line and keeps beating pretty much everything to 100 and starts to trail off still much better above 150 then the non track pack equipt Plaid. But though slower to the quarter the ZR1 is higher at 150 mph It would be easy to see that the Zr1 would pass the Tesla and Lucid cars to the 1/2 mile.

[@rianrahmanto8069]

But Jesko's ¼miles trap speed are like 170+mph😁 I'm pretty sure if they ever tested it on prepped surface like GM/most American manufacture did, it will go low 9s pass or even 9s flat at the ¼mile,,, Yeah I know Jesko cost a lot more maybe like 10x this ZR1 cost😅
