More ZR1 info
if I wasn't on my phone and lazy I'd post pictures, but anyway here's a recent article with more info on the upcoming vette zr1:
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/19/d...-corvette-zr1/ Supercharged 6.2l v8, expected at around 620-650hp, buncha carbon fiber crap, a window in the hood :l, 15.5" 6 piston brembos in front and 15" 4 pistons in the back, improved suspension and wheels, different gearing, a few aesthetic changes, etc etc. Looks pretty badass. |
Re: More ZR1 info
The hood thing needs to go, pronto. Badass other than that.

During the presentation, Tadge held up a 15" Brembo carbon ceramic brake rotor. He explained that the Ferrari Enzo used these rotors on the front wheels. The ZR1 team put them on the rear wheels(!), while the fronts get 15.5" diameter pieces. So what does all this hardware do for you? Again, GM isn't talking final numbers yet, but it did replace the 200 mph speedometer in the Z06 with a new unit that goes up to 220 mph. The ZR1 actually has softer springs than the Z06 but uses the same magneto-rheological dampers as the Ferrari 599. The fluid in these units is filled with iron particles and the viscosity can be instantly changed by varying an electric current passing through it. Sensors in the car take measurements every 0.001 seconds and adjust the dampers every 0.002 seconds. The grip is promised to be superior to the Z06 on road and track while being much more comfortable. |

in the looks dept, yes. performance.... not even close except for the c6 zr1. GT-R 0-60 3.3sec (on a shitty abandon airstrip) a c6 z06 is at least a sec slower |

they aren't even close. fastest production car in the world has a CHEVY SMALL BLOCK 16 VALVES AND ONE CAMSHAFT 2 VALVE PER CYLINDER aaaahaahahhaahahahaa .... |

cobra r mustang destorys the GT-R and when did an SVT cobra run mid 11's stock??? or go 190mph?? |
Re: More ZR1 info
I'm not seeing the crx/zr1 connection, it looks like a corvette to me....
As far as gtr vs cobra, I'd have to see an actual race between them to believe one way or the other. Same hp/tq/weight doesn't mean equal performance. |

Re: More ZR1 info
Yeah, and im sure the faster shifting gearbox and hightech awd drivetrain won't hurt its acceleration either. It's a pretty damn good performance/cost vehicle either way, and im sure there will be plenty of small upgrades and reflashes to get even more power out of the base model.
Anyway topic is about zr1, not e-racing cars nobody owns. |

Anyway topic is about zr1, not e-racing cars nobody owns. we should have ours by feb or march, prob another 6-8weeks before we hit full production on DP's, exhaust, intakes, and intercooler kits. we already have engine management, it just has to be sonfigured for the GT-R's electronics |

What engine managment obsticales are there in the US? And, the GT-R was not designed/marketed against the Corvette, its the Porsche 911 turbo. |

Top secrete, Mines and MCR are the only t00ners at the moment that have been given access by nissan to modify the car.

Re: More ZR1 info
just like the new si, said to be like 15.2 1/4?
my buddy first time in his new si at the track ran a 14.4, bone stock with day old tires. dont believe what u read dumbass. and what stock skyline does 190? NONE.... idiot. |

Re: More ZR1 info
haha road and track test the GayTR
0-60 3.8 sec 12.3@116mph please eat me up c5 z06 |
