ZR-1 comes alive over 100MPH - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 09-28-2009

Sitting watching Petite LeMans.....looking through an old Car and Driver. Camparo test between the ZR-1,NSX, Ferrari 348, Lotus Esprit, and the Porsche 911.

Car and Driver noted the times were slow due to the 100+Degree heat. But the cars ran as follows.........

NSX 13.8 @ 102, ZR-1 13.4 @109, Ferrari 14.5 @ 99, Lotus 13.5 @ 103 and the 911 14.3 @ 100.

But here is were the difference is.....time to 130MPH

ZR-1 19.8
NSX 24.9
348 28.9
Lotus 25.3
911 28.5

Of course they loved the NSX because it ran 69MPH through the slalom. ZR1 met or exceeded the NSX in pretty much every category with the exception of slalom, and of course they rated it third behind the NSX and the 911.
