Corvette ZR-1 'Ring times in low 7:40s, GT-R V-Spec amused

Filed under: Spy Photos, Supercars, Chevrolet, GM, Nissan Click either image for a high-res gallery. Leading up to the official reveal of the Corvette ZR-1, a rare week went by when we didn't see spy shots of the General's new super coupe eating up the Nurburgring. But still images don't tell the whole tale, so InsideLine sent its spies to the North Loop with a video camera to capture an uncloaked ZR-1 making the rounds on the 'Ring. According to the men behind the lens, they were able to clock the 620 hp, supercharged 'Vette running laps "in the low 7:40s," easily within reach of supercars...

I hope the ZR-1 was driving Miss Daisy...

man....that ZR1 is hella slow compared to the Vspec
GTR. Even with that 4-5 secs improvement. 10 secs seems like forever.

4-5 seconds on a damp 'Ring?

Are they complete morons? The 'Ring has enough straights that 4-5 seconds is no time at all, and in a 620hp, RWD car with a frontward weight bias, corner exits are a bit of a challenge in the damp.

I recommend they stop swinging off the Nissan's nuts and wait for further testing before passing judgement on the ZR-1.

Either way.

GTR V-spec is chillin at 7:15 is the word on the street.

ZR1 is old man pimp roller.

this are benchracing at it finest

while i think the gtr is probably faster the timing done was a joke and the conditions were not comparable
