ZR1 Drag Race King - Spanks GTR, 599, and GT2 

@Badger Milk 😂

The zr1 is a natural legend

@@LSDdreams808 Then Motortrend launches the World's Greatest Drag racing series 3 year's later where the GTR spanks the ZR1😂

Since when is plastic better looking? One day at the track, and that Engine is absolute garbage; Not designed for the g forces is on a real track. Best suspension? Wow

@@Ont785 lol an LS will run forever. It was the only one with magnetic ride suspension so yes the best suspension

Yuuuuppppppo listin to this guy

Viper ACR beat it by a hair on nurburgring and Laguna Seca

Yeah I seen randy lay that lap time down . It's funny cause the dodge representatives said randy was 'scared' of the viper before hand lol

Joshua Moy u do realize that the Viper ACR is a track enhanced viper whilst the ZR1 isnt?

Antonio Philip yes I do

+robert Horsch yes you are right

+Full Throttle good car but you know Ferrari better car and better final speed

***** What are you talking about a Ferrari cant keep up with a corvette because it is reversed engineered by GM engineers. GM allows Ferrari to lease their Magnetic Ride Control (MagneRide). Ferrari depends on GM to design and create the suspension for them so the car can turn, actually run and handle the power being provided. GM has been supplying Ferrari different variety of suspension for over 25 years.

+Top Gear is a Joke just for straight line

James Ravel The vette would still pull its lighter and makes more power and only needs to once twice.

Even in 2023 those are insane numbers

I agree with everything except the term "real mans car". Its a real DRIVERS car, transmission shouldnt dictate how much of a man you really are :p That being said, this race was a 1/4 mile, so therefore the GTR lost in all scenarios hahahahahaha. The new GTRs, yes would beat these cars, however the new C7 8 speed z06 will beat this ZR1 and probably even the new 2015 GTR. I personally love autos, only because its starting to set even higher benchmarks than its manual predecessors (e.g. C6 ZR1 stock time 10.9 track, 11s on the street, C7 Z06 8 speed auto 10.9 on the street and track.. imagine what the c7 ZR1 could do). Being a JDM fan, i wish nissan pushed more power from factory out of their GTR :(

there still very good in rolling starts ive seen many races with it starting on a 50 60 or greater rolls and still beats many cars especially with the crazy tuned out versions aka alpha omega or alpha12+

try these cars with same horsepower,then see which will win,and then you can think twice when you gonna talk about GTR! take a look at nurburgring lap times so you can understand more easy which car is better.

Hehe. You said aids

1/100th of a second haha is that a joke

Fast 0-60 -- falls off hard after that.

+Adeum Deus "falls off hard after that"(lol) Get a grip ,you clown-act.

Gtr was designed for the track. Not the drag strip. That zr1 is a beast though I will admit.

How is a 1,740 KG with 480 HP sports coupe overrated. Yes in straight line performance a more heavy, less powered AWD car will lose to a more powerful RWD but being 158 HP down and 230 KG weight disadvantage, it is incredibly impressive especially how it handles in the corners. When you think the 2008 Nissan GTR Nurburgring lap at the time was 7:26.7 against the 2008 Corvette 2008 lap time of 7:26.4 on a 12.9 Mile track, i think you need to get your priorities straight.

This video is bullshit...they try to fool us Asian... Why don't they just arrange the GTR get the 3rd or 2nd place?????

Try racing in a circuit and not a drag race. Lmao shitty Corvette is almost forbidden to turn.

+Wildly Coyote Forbidden to turn? That ZR1 is a track monster, even the older Z06. I don't know what you are talking about.

***** When did I say the GTR was shit? All I said is the ZR1 and Z06 are track monsters. Im not saying they are the best track cars but they can definitely turn and beat a lot of highly priced supercars around Nürburgring. Learn to read and comprehend before you make yourself sound like a highly sensitive fanboy.

THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR WITH THE R35 DUMBASS AND ALSO I WOUDNT WANT TO BE AN AMERICAN BECAUSE THERE ALL A BUNCH OF FAT DIRT SLOBS

Don't know if this guy is dumb or too proud of his country Always Respect the Engineering, For you Corvette Fanboys, Okay... i'll give it to you this time, The 638 HP Corvette ZR1 won from the 480 HP GTR, amazing right! Didn't think it was possible. But in the Engineering world, It's a big achievement for the GTR to be just standing there among those cars, and being considered their equivalent.

Amen, brother!

I hate american muscle!😋👎

See you at the 1/2mi. ;)

Detroit brother

@@randomideas7799 don't talk you like a american car reviewer who reviews all cars INCLUDING AMERCIAN CARS

Naw the zr1 actually crushed them on the track please look it up it did it with ease

that was the quarter mile noob. lol dont speak if u dont know wat ur talking about. american muscle always wins. 2013 Ford mustang super cobra jet runs 8 sec 1/4 mile stock

Traci W I didn't realize this was only a 1/4 miles race, it seems a little to long for it to be 1/4 miles. The problem here however is the GTR did 0-60 in 3.2 seconds in this race when it can do 2.8 no problem. Usually the GTR and Corvette a neck and neck on these 1/4 races. I have never seen a drag race between the two where the GTR falls that far behind a Corvette. The GTR should be exactly with the Porsche in this race. Thats nice, Mustang Cobra Jet isn't street legal and no, American muscle does not always win. I am a muscle car fan but you have to know when something losses or is equally matched.

The GTR is only fast on the starting line ..

relax it is 5 year old video equation got changed totally with 2013 GTR and with 2015 GTR nothing comes close on stock

vestern22 Yet, other people are losing their shit.

U were correct

lol I did nail the prediction. Bought a Z06 in 2016. It's beast!

glennsmooth holy shit cool

It's not faster than the ZR1 LOLOLOL

glennsmooth but you regret saying that 3 years ago lol

They did here in 2018 it’s called the zr1

LOL.... gotta love you tube..... C6 ZR1 is starting to get back some value though.... as it still blasts 98% of everything out there for 2018.

1234zcrom Lol, the new ZR1 has 755 hp.

Haha you were so wrong. Now the ZR1 makes 755 horsepower

Not only is the GTR not a drag racer, it also had a lot less HP. They took the lowest end version. Should have used the "black" or "premium" models that have 530+ HP. Would have been a different story. And the cost is only about 20k more. Nothing to cry about.

As an 18 year old on minimum wage, 20k is alot to cry about.

Ceadus34 This video was uploaded in 2008. This means that the black edition and premium models didn't even exist when this video was made.

Nathan Clark Haha bro I feel you I'm trying to buy a base Vette on minimum wage at 20, so if you work hard by the time you're my age you can buy a nice base C6! Just make sure you're in college and still living with mommy and daddy like me :)

Nathan Clark I hear ya... sorry, I also have problems making that much money. I plan to buy a used one for 50-60k. No way I could ever afford one off a lot at 110k. 20k is a lot of money, sorry to trivialize it. I meant, if you can afford a 100k car, then 20k isn't a big deal more... IF you can afford that. I can't... yet.

This video is 8 years old btw

This video is 8 years old btw

It is a 2008-2010GTR with 485hp. Also that is a Porsche GT2RS and a 599 which is over classed.

Point is this u said that it faster in a straight it not zr1

Why don't you compare a 1992GTR? 2014 GTR official 1/4mile is 11.0s at 125.8mph ZR1 is 11.2s at 134mph. GTR 0-60 2.7s ZR1 3.4s

Porsche 991 Turbo S is the fastest on straight, 0-60 2.6s 10.9s 1/4mile.

Dude please gtr it not their even 2014 still cant pass 200 corvette 205

its the cheapest car in all dumbass

Yes because eventually you will crash

teneyez but it’s the slowest car dumbass

@@teneyez Hahaha slow

U like the GT3 or the Lexus LFA ?

GTR is king here

Derek Miller They put it on the race only to compare with others with more horsepower. Don't play stupid

stop tell lies GTR is one of the fastest car around the track

teneyez No its not.... ZR1 Is.. Learn you're facts kid.

myvetteisfasterthanyourgtr ! Viper is a V10 gtr is a weak v6

iimrgam3r ok ill wait 3 - 4 years to see a Corvette win my nissan or maybe nissan wont just keep it the same either and improve the gtr. so im guessing that in 3-4 years my nissan will still win.

iimrgam3r if it makes you feel better. go ahead and keep dreaming

Carlitos Chido some people are claming the nismo is not the quickest GT-R when it comes to drag racing. Its built for circuits. i honestly dont know the numbers. whats your take?

world traveler i think stock it would be way better than in a straight line it does have 600 hp and has a 2.3-2.4 0-60 time so it still beats almost anything from 0-60 and many super cars in the quarter mile with under 10 sec my opinion with it being stock i say its better with track but i would like to see a alpha 16 or better packet to see what it can do

Carlitos Chido sounds pretty badass

Gt2 has never beaten a zr1 around nurburgring and check the drag times of zr1 here on you tube . .10.66 all stock on stock tires and as fast as 10.26 on drag radials ,but otherwise stock.Check bruce fartpipe and Kyle lemish s videos.

Haha that's y the z28 beat it haha

Lmao this guy nismo isn't stock if you want to play that game try the ligenfelter zr1 vs nismo gtr lol not to mention I would never spend over a 100 grand on a Nissan lol the corvette zr1 will be a future classic and that's why if I had the money I would spend a hundred grand on a corvette. I don't see older gtr going for over a 100 grand these days lol oh not to mention that new zo6 is gonna spank alot of cars lol

Kamren Zinzow GT-R's lose their value quite quickly, they go for about one third their original selling price. That's only after 3 years.

+Chris Pappas 2012 Zr1 for 70k in my area, Nissan has a 2012 gtr for 83k so.. there goes that lmao

personally i love the GT2

thatabu Very true, Ferrari never disappoints and has made yet another amazing car. I'd personally love to see a comparison with the McLaren P1, that's another amazing car that none of us could ever afford. We can still drool over them though.

the 599 still beats the gtr.......

not really. the zr1 pulls on the gtr due to hp. yeah gtr is the 1/4 mile king but the zr1 starts to reel it in at the end if the race fast longer than a 1/4 zr1 would dust it.

Its called all-wheel vs rear wheel drive buddy

Nathan Smith not inferior to the Mercedes McLaren

+Branden Lucero LOL ..too many Dead brains on the tube

hey not all Corvettes are muscles that are exotic sometimes like the ZR1.

lmfao that gtr price is complete bull just look it up from a dealership 50 miles away it's over 100 grand my friend. but who cares when the viper acr and corvette already beat the gtrs lap times at the great nurburging.

+‫محمد الدوسري‬‎ They run 0-150mph in the same time but the Zr-1 started pulling away after that. nismo standing mile 29.4s@165.9mph ZR-1 standing mile 28.7s@177.1mph

This ZR1 still more power, more torque, less weight. And cost less even when it was brand new

Your mom can't handle this D :'D

considering the nismo is awd and auto and that its not necessarily any faster than a zr1 says a lot

ok ok nissmo vs lingenfelter zr1

Bharath Kumar the video is a sellout dude...

Bharath Kumar Prefer the 997 GT3 RS for it's balance..

This GTR has just 485hp The GTR NISMO has 600hp

Bruno Soares Stock GTR had 530bhp crank its well known it never had only 480bhp, the cars nissan brought to tests were better than 530bhp IIRC one was tested at 580bhp. The first time the GTR lapped the ring on a record run it managed 180mph down the straight (from nissan's own data), which would only be possible with over 600bhp, further evidence is that the ZR1 when tested which had 640bhp could not manage 180mph yet will walk away from a GTR easy from 100mph+, GTR is not strong top end big frontal area creates lots of drag. A stock dealership bought 530bhp GTR was tested and it only did 160mph down that same straight. Its easy to tune the GTR to 700bhp with basically uprated fuel pumps and exhaust. They were also crazy protective of the car on the ring and did not want people to take pictures of the car as I would guess it had its interior stripped out. Car was later crushed so no evidence of it exists, compare this the the ZR1 that smashed the GTR record was sold to a customer and was a true production road car. If you remember back before they released there first lap record video, there was a fan spy video showing the GTR racing around and it was obvious that it had a full race exhaust because it was crazy loud, also another video from the drivers seat which sounded like a stripped out race car, nissan later lied that they had put the microphone in the engine bay haha. Nissan were caught out in the past with a R33 GTR was over 30sec quicker than a stock R33 independently tested with the same test driver, this was due to them bringing a modified tuned R33 with carbon fibre panels and boosted output. Big fan of the GTR's but getting tired of the lies.

this is the GTR R-35, it has just 485 hp, them we have black edition of 545 hp and them the GTR NISMO of 600 hp.

That's a 2009 Vette. Compare the new GTR with the newest Vette coming out.

EdwardDG2 And yet the old zr1 still shits on the 2014 base model gaytr not to mention the 2014 z28 Camaro destroying the 2014 gaytr track edition....... rofl

Truth Teller its wasn't a race it was a comparison

Black_ Guy Gaming I am not talking about this video, I am talking about official lap times of the 2014 gaytr "track edition" being destroyed buy old zr1's and new z28's on tracks :)

The latest models of all these cars are faster than all these cars. It's called evolution.

I have pics of this car. It looks nothing like the one Nissan is showing to the public. All that camo hiding numerous pipes and shit all over the car. Thats in leymans ters = ringer. Nice try tho Balufoc.

vm2003 That 7:08 time is bullshit. The "Time Attack" GTR is not the same as a GTR Nismo w/ Track Pack. The Time Attack isn't street or emissions legal. It had modifications to its tune, aero, and torque vectoring system among other things.

***** koul kayreh

***** Nissan

A ZR1 is starting 120,000

nurburgringlaptimes.com/lap-times/lap-times-top-100/ nothing more must be said

haha that website is not right the ZR1 is not on there. Go to www.nuerburgring.de/en.html

Kyle Healy you may have forgotten that there's no company called corvette or ZR1

no really... is there a company called GTR

Kyle Healy No years of racing history? Lol The 240z and The original Skyline GTR were iconic just like the Stingray corvette

They should have used the 599 GTO. The LMR Corvette probably will beat the AMS GT-R.

Yes they shoul use GTO. LMR Vette is a piece of shit. Nothing come close to AMS alpha 16 with full boost. And if you're talking about real beast, how about Drummond TT Viper?

You do realize they're comparing stock cars right? The AMS GTR's are heavily modified

Since this comparison is a bias unfair battle, I don't care.

:o no it wouldt.

Fullest sure

yeah no, you watch too much "heavily tuned gtr" videos

LOL, modern day, McLaren MP4-12C does the quarter in 10.8 sec.... 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S 0-60 in 2.6 Sec (Road and Track) quarter in 10.9 sec 2014 Nissan GTR quarter in about 11 sec And the McLaren is much faster on many race tracks A 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 (about the same price as the Nissan now) is easily a match for the GTR on a racetrack. Lighter is better in many circumstances (racing).

Mark Ferris your 0-60 times for the 2014 gtr are incorrect.

Mark Ferris my bad...not 0-60 the QM time

With drag radials the 2009 ZR1 can pull the 1/4 in the low 10's.

Modern day.... 2019 corvette zr1 is the fastest

I have been racing a friend with a 2014 GTR for a couple years now and he hasn't been able to even beat my Z06. Granted I run drag radials, full exhaust and a tune.

The 2008-2011 model GTR had only 485 hp. For 2012 they brought up to 530, 2013-2016 it got 545, and 2017 gets 565. A 2012 and up would've won no problem

how? i own a 2010 zr1 and it has over a 100 more hp stock than at GT2 so dont be mad it got smoked, it never stood a chance

it's a 6 banger no matter what GTR shit

gay zr?? pppfff lmao come on baby girl dont use your brother account lmao

Fuck off mate

lilripsta313 the GT2 RS still would smoke the ZR1

Another way of saying that is European cars only win in Europe.

Ironsights51 show me the US-car that can handle the european quality! No bud, american cars ar not realy the best, this is why nobody would buy them..

You ever heard of Laguna Seca? Might wanna check the lap times out.

Ironsights51 ahh sure, on seca are the same "serious" test like on the Nürburgrign, with modified GM cars? C'omon!!

Your making an assumption. I could just as easily assume the 458 is modded at every track it laps, but I know that isn't true, just like the ZR1 being modded isn't likely true either.

excuses excuses excuses

How about a 755 horsepower ZR1? Welcome to 2019 lol.

omg no...2009

Gotta agree. The zr1 held the production car record at nurinburg for a while. I think people get mad when a car a third the price of exotics can beat them around a track.

Yup

in this kind of race the nismo will lose compared with new GT2RS and ZR1. there will not be a standard GT2 from what i have seen. I am not sure which is quicker in this race though? ZR1 or GT2RS.
