there will be no race, the gtr will be killed )

 

actually no not really! i assume you have not seen this yet? Switzer GTR vs. Lingenfelter LPE Zr1

keep in mind the GTR weighs 600-700lbs more.

and then with 50 more hp.... the lingenfelter ZR1 starts to struggle

I don't think the guy in the last video is wearing his seatbelt, though at 315kph, I don't think it would really matter if you crashed.

 

amazing machinary.....the gtr didnt seem that fast 4 900hp though.....

 

Tuned GTR P800 vs Tuned Track ZR1 - ZR1 passed at very end

the reason why you dont think the GTR is very fast in that vid becuase the zr1 is almost just as fast!!!!

 

I watched all of it. thanks!!!

 

Highly unlikely that is a ZR1. No one is going to destroy a ZR1 by slapping paint, stickers, wing, and a full cage in it to run in NASA time-trials (note the ST-1 class sticker). Talk about destroying the value of a car....almost certainly a Z06 or a regular C6 with what look like ZR1 side scoops on it.

No disrespect to the GTR driver, who ran in the One Lap of America (but had mechanical issues), and clearly has skills.

 

people track far more expensive and higher valued cars everyday... im not sure i see your point? not to mention the dragtimesinfo vid of the LPE Zr1 posted above fits that exact profile, minus a wing of course.

 

"Tracking" at a DE and converting a car to a dedicated race-only car with no interior, full cage, fire system, etc, that cannot realistically be returned to near stock condition is a completely different situation. The Corvette in the vid is a dedicated race car, and therefore not likely to be a ZR1. The LPE car above is a tuned and modified street car, and other than those horrible stripes and stickers (my opinion), is a very nice car.

Anyway, not a big deal by any means, just pointing something out that I saw as a mistake. I have no doubt the GTR in this video, with that driver, would easily handle the average ZR1 car/driver combination on any track. The Switzer cars in both vids seem to be very strong indeed.

 

I started investigating the power potential of my ZR-1. 700hp is obtainable without increasing boost. A tune & headers is all that's required. A $2,000.00 mod done in an afternoon. How long do you think the GT R's trans & 2 diffs will survive 800hp? They were falling apart stock if you used the launch control (which they now say isn't a launch control) My ZR-1 will easily turn 100,000 miles without major repairs. I installed headers & hi flow cats to beef up the exhaust note. I had the seats re upholstered for comfort & a better (but hidden) sound system installed. I'm leaving it stock otherwise. I'm averaging 17.5 mph in combined driving. A long highway trip yielded 25mpg. It gets better mpg than my CTS-V

 

I just at the thought that someone would take a $100k ZR1 to make a no interior track car out of when the Z06 is the track car of the Corvette line. I would bet that the Vette being passed is a C6 Z06.

 

Epic GTR!

 

Tune and a Y-pipe and you also get 100hp gain over stock in a GT-R as well ($2k and an hour for the Y-pipe).

A few $k in the clutches and clutch baskets, etc... and you're set for another few hundred HP.

The biggest restrictor once you hit 600whp in the GT-R is the size of the turbos (no transmission upgrades necessary). Of course, now this isn't such a big deal anymore.

 

A tune and headers will leave the stock 100k powertrain warranty intact, and thats not bad for a 700 horsepower car!
