2009 Corvette ZR1

Really, you're beyond hope.

I didn't realize that your car was a 1/4mile car and that you even had the audacity to compare that to the corvette.

My car isn't a 1/4 ,mile car, and the car I reffered to was my previous hatch, which was a street car, daily driven. I don't care if I compared the vette to a god damn chevy chevette. If it is built to outperform, that is what it will do, and to be quite honest with you, I believe to this day my hatch would outperform that vette in many different areas.

You have quite the audacity to say that to me. You don't know me in the least bit, and your ignorance is making you look bad my friend.

Audacity? Who the F are YOU supposed to be to me? Superior in some way? This is a forum for discussions. I gave my two cents and you nay say me to death because I disagree with you? Please, spare me. Just because you have been here longer and have more "posts" means nothing to me at all.

If you can afford the car, thats great. Nine out of ten middle class americans CANNOT afford that car or even something slightly cheaper.

I will appologize for coming off the way I did toward you, it was uncalled for. But I am a no bullshit kind of person and I say what I think. At that moment, that was what was floating in my mind.

 

[reikoshea]

if you are a no bullshit kinda person, then its very easy to see that a ZR1 (a Z06 even) will destroy ANYTHING you put together to run on an actual track. I would usually close a thread at this point, but this is quite an interesting conversation.

A dry-sump oiling system with 10.5-quart (9.9 liters) capacity

oo

If I had 100k to piss down the drain, I'd buy it.

Nissan GTR
480 hp
430 torque
dual transmision
0 to 60 in 3.5 secnds
twin turbo

Corvette ZR1
600 HP
595 lb.-ft. of torque
dual transmision
0 to 60 in 3.0 even seconds
supercharged

2009 Dodge Viper ACR available later in year
678 hp
645 lb-ft torque
0 to 60 mph: 2.8 sec
straight engine

2008 Dodge Viper
600 HP
595 lb.-ft. of torque
0 to 60 in 3.0 even seconds
straight engine

this means it takes a nissan twin turbo and a supercharged corvette to keep up with a regular viper engine. viper also makes a twin turbo hennessey add on option that puts the horses at 1200 HP and tying the record for a production car in 0 to 60 at 2.4 seconds which is currently held by viper and porsche. the production porsche would beat them all and tie vipers best. so it goes like this.

1st place porsche and 2009 viper ACR tie
2nd place corvette ZR1 and 2008 Viper tie
3rd place Nissan GTR
4th place Corvette zo6

 

[reikoshea]

except you are comparing a v10 to a v8 (corvette) and a v6 (GT-R). Thats like comparing an LS1 corvette to a turbo b18. There is no comparison.

 

[hondarin]

just in case you're wondering, then new engine code for the ZR1 is LS9, and the engine code for the new CTS-V is LSA

 

[dbb95ex]

A 500 hp civic? That 500 hp civic better be able to hook up and be a bare shell. ZR1 has a launch control susupension and only weighs around 3300 lbs. Avg civic 2400lbs, so that 900 lbs isn't going to make up for the 138 hp difference.

 

[phyregod]

Wonder if it still sports leaf springs.

 

[reikoshea]

nope. the regular C6 still does, but the Z06 and ZR1 both have modern suspension.

 

[EGProject]

It's a great car, and a bargain for the performance it delivers - but why does GM insist on the butt-ugly ghetto-ass chrome rimz?

I also believe that GM has reached the operational capacity of this platform. They can up the horsepower, put on bigger tires, and fit huge brakes, but the truth of the matter is that it's still trying to get all this horsepower down through the rear wheels, and through a body designed originally as a midlife crisis car.

The C6 has in my opinion evolved as far as it can go in relative terms. The next C7 should try and reinvent the marque with maybe a little less displacement, direct injection, and possibly a different approach to the interior, maybe borrowing a bit from Caddy. I'd like to see maybe 5.7L, DI with around 450hp, a tighter body design and a much better interior.

 

[H2B Hatch]

Saw the zr1 at the car and truck show in ocean city couple weeks ago. They're quick. I have a 12 second hatch and it left me like I was sitting still.

 

[eg6sir]

this thread sucks

[VTEC_CBR]

Idiocy abounds in this thread.

 

[NissanNiNjA2nd]

This... uhh.... you.... a civic.... with....... nevermind.

 

[97hatch]

nope. the regular C6 still does, but the Z06 and ZR1 both have modern suspension.

your very wrong they still have one fiberglass leaf spring per axle

 

[90_EF_Hatch]

or you can lie and act cool

 

[90_EF_Hatch]

bahahahahahahaaha

Fiberglass springs? Can you pass me what your smoking, Ive never heard of such a thing before.
