Move over Skyline GT-R...Vette is #1

The Cadillac CTS-V just set the record for fastest lap by a sedan, too. (on factory tires!) GM may be going out of business, but they're going FAST!

I saw this the other day. I heard that the GT-R's time wasn't completely legit. They didn't finish the last straightaway and there was something else too.

Either way, both of the cars are sick.

That new ZR1 is sick!
Only thing I don't like is the see through hood.
Looks corny in my opinion.

Posted by: Mustang5L5

I kinda like the hood.

I'm disappointed you couldn't hear a lot of blower whine. I was expecting it to sound like an 03/04 Cobra under WOT

Carbon Ceramic brakes

Posted by: badass98svt

^^^
Wonder what they'll cost to maintain?

Posted by: kissajew86

well i know th porsche carbon ceramic brakes are 10k for rotors and pads....dono if that is the true cost or just because they are porsche

Posted by: langod

Well considering that Porsche supercar is what, half a million bucks or so, I can see them charging that much. (That Porsche logo is very expensive)
The Vette ZR1 is rumored to be about $100,000 -- so I bet they'll be getting 2 or 3 grand for a full brake setup.

$100k for a FACTORY STOCK VETTE!!! No wonder GM is going down the tubes. Unless they're only making 5 or so.

It may be factory stock, but it beats the other supercars out there that cost multiples of that.

Posted by: badass98svt

Ford makes a $60k stang and everyone says it's too expensive. But a $100k vette is a-ok?

Waaaaay too much IMO. It's still a GM product.

Posted by: Mustang5L5

But the vette is in a difference class than a Mustang. It's more of a true sports car.

The stang isn't giving comparable performance...

ZR1

I've seen it in person, if I only had 150k to spend on a car that would be it.

I didn't know that. That's crazy money for brakes, still.

Yeah, the ZR1 is more along the lines of the Ford GT. A super-limited Halo car.

Posted by: TorchRedSVT

impressive.

John, the issue with the GT-R was the fact it was using a reflashed PCU and aftermarket tires as opposed to the ZR-1 which did its laps right out of the box.

ZR-1's are being sold with current mark up's for 200K plus at this time. There are a few people over on SVT who have already purchased...its a beast of a car that's for sure. They aren't making very many of them, so the 100k price tag is justified.

This came out today about the price gouging involved in getting a ZR-1
