No real surprises there. The ZR1 flies down the straights, the GTR claws back in the corners.

My question is was that the V-spec GTR because I don't think the normal one would be quite that close. I mean the ZR1 is 638hp vs the GTR being 480. That's quite a substantial difference and given the speeds around the ring and the long straights I would think the vette would have had a much bigger lead at the bridge considering they were pretty close to being equal coming onto that straight. The V-spec is rumored to be 550HP which seems a better fit.

Either they are both awesome.

Mate there is no need for ''willy waving'' in here.... Some uk members dont even venture out of this section, there is not much need to unless its a technical queery or something.

Good vid nice one for posting B4!!

Hardly a fair fight really. Maybe if they teamed up with South America ?

Rest of the World v Steve A is starting to get more fair... My money would still be on Steve though...

I still dont understand the obsession with having a go at the US everytime something remotely associated with it comes up in a thread.

an american cousin of ours input on the thread that we were too late as this topic has already been discussed in the great US of A. Which at best is very petty. Also he was wrong

My only retort vailable was to mock the chant usa usa, this was a lighthearted post to see if we could get some banter going.

The other UK posters that know me then started sending me up which i thought was brilliant, i have no problem being mocked

so mr weez do you have asthma

(btw so do i)

Oh come on. Any time the word America or USA is brought up, the gang mentality sets in. And Im not specifically refering to this thread. When the guy put the link to the other thread he didnt say anything about America, nor was the link to an American subforum.
This is what I mean about how quick everyone is to immediately bash the US no matter what. Just because the guy is from America it immediately becomes USA vs the world
