I would'nt be tracking the ZR1...much:wink: I would use it as a freakishly fast street car. The standard Zo6 would be my choice for a track weapon.And again I would prefer that GM build the unique interior instead of me.
You can't drive even a Z06 to anywhere near it's potential on the street, never mind a ZR1. In my opinion, owning one and driving it only on the street makes no sense. It's like only ever going to first base with your wife/girlfriend. To each his own I guess.

so are you telling us that in your opinion every 500+ hp car should be limited to track only

What I said was that if you're only driving it on the street (and presumably staying within a reasonable distance of the laws), then you're only ever driving a fraction of the car's potential, which makes no sense to me why you'd ever buy the car in the first place.
Another analogy for you if the girlfriend one didn't resonate: buying a ten thousand dollar HDTV and getting your programming through a rabbit ear antenna.
...the video game rush of that kind of acceleration is intoxicating so yes for me i could see having a zr1.:smile:
In all honesty I would be very interrested in the ZR1 if GM would've spent a couple two-tree dolars on a nice alacantra/carbon/suede supercar interior ......

I drove a new ZR-1 for a fair amount of time last fall, and can say that merging on to the highway and passing people was REALLY fun with all of that power on tap. Drop down from 6th to 3rd and punch the gas, and you WILL make that exit ramp, no matter how many cars you need to pass. LOL!
The beauty of the game is when one has the means to afford something, it does not really need to have any justification per any bystanders. I doubt many people who buys their Ferraris, Lambo, or any 500+ hp cars would care how these cars would perform on the track, much less "making sense" to THEM why they would blow that kind of money on those cars in the first place. Same goes for expensive watches, pens, cocaine, underwears, shoes, and whatever.What I said was that if you're only driving it on the street (and presumably staying within a reasonable distance of the laws), then you're only ever driving a fraction of the car's potential, which makes no sense to me why you'd ever buy the car in the first place.

Sorry Liquid. I owned a chain of electronics stores for over 25 years. If you haven't tried OTA you should. I am not using rabbit ears because I live too far from transmission source and hills/valleys here in California can block signal. I AM using a roof mount antenna that cost about $100. I promise you....the picture quality is amazing.....MUCH BETTER than cable or satellite. Do some research. Nope.....don't wash and wash again.
I will agree here. I work for an ABC Affiliate TV station and it is true the OTA signal is considered the best unmolested HDTV signal you can get from a broadcast TV station. I use cable mostly because with the mountains we don't get the OTA signal from most of the broadcast TV stations here.
Change thread to whats better for my hd programming lol.
Back on point, i think its easier to make power than handle better. My bro gave my c6 vette friend a run for his money in ctsc s2000, 403 whp. On turns, it was over. S2k was mashing while vette was 3 wheeling it according to my friend driving the vette. Imo nsx with same power as vette will kill most cars on road
Here is the shot at my work parking lot recently.
The viper was driven by a gal and sometime, she drives in with her husband's Viper, a GTS coupe version in Yellow.

.....it ......handles way better than my NSX.......
Do you have stock NSX tire size? If so I can see how a C6Z06 with 295ft and 335rr can out corner the NSX.
I have 17s all the way around on my NSX- it had 19's when i bought it and they had to come off! felt awful when cornering...
and the tires are not stock, just a little bigger than stock...
