ZR1 and especially ACR are to a degree purpose built.... and unique from really most other cars in their category.. they are raw power and lack the refinement of
porsche turbo ferrari and the tech of the GTR

you put any moderate driver in the GTR and then the ZR1 and they wouldnt get close to its #'s ... the ZR1 when driven 10/10ths the math and physics are going to win out

by the way.....the Z06/Z07 with the PS2's thats 600 lbs lighter aswell was 3 tenths slower in last years lighting lap

this shouldnt even be an arguemnt as alot of you miss the point when you see a result like this featuring the GTR and come in and gleefully report its defeat...

the chief engineer is unlike anyone else in the auto industry.. he is so uncompromising in philosophy that he maintains the car must remain balanced for everyday driving aswell as the track.. he honestly values emissions fuel efficency , wet or around town comfort as much as he does a lap time.. because of this he wont release the times of the special editions like the now discontinued specV and the new track pack as he only wants to show the performance of the regular model that the majority of consumers buy

im not taking away from the ZR1 at all it did what it did.... the mosler beat the GTR too while we are at
