Is that why the GTR Nismo only ran a 1:35 at Laguna Seca compared to the Z06s' 1:33 and the ACR's 1:28?

The Stig on top gear would disagree with those numbers

When did the Stig test the ACR? The ACR has broken 13 track records so far.

I just looked at the Mustang GT350R and The Challenger SRT Hellcat. Those are some badass cars. Seems like Chevy is way behind on the times.

Easier to do RWD circles around a car than AWD circles around a car, so you're wrong again

They are just faster cars on the track. I saw a white GTR yesterday and was thinking they needed some kind of significant power/performance upgrade

Saw this on reddit yesterday...loved the butthurt corvette fan boys complaining "but if you put $30k in the Vette it would win!"...nah.

Also claims that the Z06 msrp is $80k vs. the Viper's $118k...LOL. Regular vettes with the Z51 package are selling for close to $80k...ain't any Z06's going for that low...especially with dealer markups.

I like how you're talking about running circles and linking cars that can only go fast in a straight line.

So yea, you actually did. A 2000hp car that can't turn worth a shite is useless outside of the video you linked. And a GTR that isn't turned into a drag car still can't run circles around either car in the OP.

No. Check the lap times bro. This Viper is faster around a track than pretty much every supercar and hypercar available to purchase today. Can't wait until they get it to the Nurburgring.

it is the ACR-X. And lets be honest. They're calling it a "production vehicle" that broke all those Laguna Seca lap times but this thing is a tuner car with hand build components and carbon fiber all over it.
