ZR-1 will probably still come ahead in the 1/4 mi though.

All of the HP and Torque disadvantge in the world is 'evened' by the amazing amount of traction and the substantial gearing advantage, especially below 80 mph that the GTR has. Look at the First gear...IIRC it's a 3.xx something! Nuts! That's how you get a 4000+ pig out of the hole.

Trap speed however does show the HP difference...Stock GTR are 118-120 car...all zr1 I've sen are 129/131 cars...HUGE


...lets not also forget that 'equalizing' the traction by putting crappy drag radials (wish they were slicks) on the ZR1 puts it into the mid 10.6/10.7 range at over 130 mph I think there are guys with bolt ons in the upper 9's...how much money did AMS dump into that GTR to barley run 9's?

The better platform is the Vette, hands down. GTR is nice though. In the end they are totally different cars IMO.
