Engine wise C6 are solid as well as the 997s is the rest of the car that gets bashed for their quality. Also this is a 638hp vs 470hp car that is GT2 territory... but that's the thing with Porsches you gotta pay to play.. Love that aspect of the corvettes.

What most people don't realize is the ZR1 was one of the fastest production cars around the track back in the day. It set a 7:19 around the Nurburgring which at the time was faster then every car other then the Viper ACR , 911 gt2 rs and the LFA Nurburgring edition

The C6 Z06 LS7 had lots of issues with their motors and differentials. Your dogging on ONE Porsche, yet, since 2010 Porsche has constantly ranked in the top 7 most dependable in ConsumerReports, which two of the years it ranked #1, above Lexus and Toyota. I dont see Chevrolet anywhere on the top 10. The amazing thing is, that 911 can go to the track, get groceries, and be a daily driver while averaging 25mpg. The #1 complaints on Corvettes have been their rough ride. Thats why they go on the market typically after 1 year of ownership.

The Corvette is an old model. It's been around since the early 60's. And yes, it has been competing with Porches ever since. For the fraction of the price of many higher end 911 models, the Corvette Z06 and ZR1 outperforms them pretty easily. America's Sports Car has also set many ALMS records for the most wins. And these series include Porches too.

The Corvette is one amazing car, imagine pounding the 911 turbo around the track, better braking, etc etc for less $. Today with gen 3 magnetic ride control, improved handling dynamics, totally new chassis and are the Z06 absolutely destroys cars costing several multiples of its price, hats off to Chevrolet...exotics, the new bench mark is better in every way, wonder if any competitor can match the Vette.

The fact that the Corvette is always in these "battles" is the price. Signifigantly lower than the rest, but beating on the door. For that alone, gives the Corvette an economical advantage.

why do so many people underestimate and question the quality and performance of the zr1

Both are fantastic cars and each motivates one another towards perfection

While the interior is low rent, the car itself is a technical masterpiece. Also the Corvette is loved around the world, not just in the United States.

you guys realy comparing a handfull build showcase cars with a mass produced serial performance car?? this discussion is pointless especialy when it comes to pricetag. ofc the tires and weels of a 400km/h + fast car are VERRY expensive, especialy after they are only produced in verry small numbers. and ofc they wont last long under the extreem conditions. the veyron is not the competition of a corvett. the veyron is not the competition of ANY car, its a tech demo of a company that sayd : look whats possible if you ignore cost. by the way, the veyron would lose a race on the nurburg ring vs the corvett or the porsche or ferari or even the nissan gtr. thats where the comprtition of the corvett is: massproduced sportscars like the porsche and ferari and the nissan and here you see that the corvett is in the same league and has a suprisingly low pricetag for its performance. thats the most markable thing, in history the us carcompanys refused to build performance cars beyond pure acceleration ability, they refused to considder the concept that underlies the european cars. the definition of what a sports car is and what he need to do where totaly different and therefor the produced cars where nowhere compareable. the 2latest corvetts ARE compareable, they are constructed folowing similar demands on ability and driving performance and they are doing great.

Both cars are excellent, and any enthusiast would be elated to own either. Sincerely, A GM engineer who loves Porsches

@wolfmatt when i check the placing at le mans or look up nurburgring times i dont see any domestics at the top?

I personally like Porsche better than the corvette so I might be a little biased but not on purpose. This is actually really surprising the corvette won on track when you would assume the Porsche would win with it's nice handling while the Corvette lost with its incredible acceleration in the drag race. I guess now in 2016 its different than back in 2010. Wow. All in all 2 great cars 2 great company's.

I am the proud owner of a 2010 ZR1. One of the things, big things, all these challenges omit is reliability. I still have 6 months on my 3/36 warranty and 2.5 years on my 5/100,000 mile warranty. Why doesn't Porsche, Ferrari, others have a warranty? Reliability. I have a 638 hp motor that GM has guaranteed will last 100K miles.

The Z06 is a more fair race. The ZR1 is a competitor for the GT2 rs which has 600hp. They always do this though. It's usually a Carrera of some sort vs. much faster cars. Rarely is a turbo tested, and almost never is anything compared to a GT2 RS. Not saying the GT2 is better, just that they would be a closer match. Why not the fastest Vette vs the fastest 911?

I am not saying that the Vette is bad at all. In fact, I love the ZR-1 but my point is its performance rival would be the GT2 RS. In this video, the Vette is more dominate because of my first point. What if we compared the Turbo to the Z06? The ZO6 would lose in all categories. As for price, the Porsche 912 is literally about 350,000 cheaper than the McLaren P1. Their performance is in the same class and thats why they are rivals.

4 Wheel drive. The Porker can put all its power to all the wheels and with the acceleration weight transfer to an already heavy rear end, it has enormous grip - aided of course by electronics moving the torque between the front and rear wheels to stop wheel spin. The ZR1 has a shitload more of torque and horsepower but its only a rear drive car. If you noticed on the standing starts, the slip regulation for the rear tyres is stopping the full amount of power available going to the rear wheels. But once past the point where the torque cannot overcome tyre grip, then the ZR1 simply will say goodbye to the Porker.

So I was a little bit off in my post from yesterday involving the Cadillac CTS - V that's about to be released in 2016. I said the car had 580HP and was going to cost $60k USD. Turns out the car has 640HP, 630 ft Lbs of torque and is going to cost around $65-75k depending on the trim level. It has a carbon and leather wrapped interior, premium Bose speakers, Brembo brakes, magnetic ride control carbon accents throughout the exterior Nd a 100k miles warranty. If you haven't seen the car I suggest you search it. It's beautiful and shows the capabilities of GM. So here are the German cars that will compete with the CTS-V. Audi RS-5 starts at 72k and has a 430HP V8 engine. Nice little car but sacrificing over 200hp and 50k miles on the warranty doesn't exactly seem like better engineering. It also weighs roughly 100 pounds more than the CTS-V. The BMW M4 starts at $64k USD and can get up there if you want to start adding options. You get the standard run of the mill 425 HP V8 engine and outdated BMW driving manners, ride qualities and features. They also offer half the warranty. I don't remember the last time I've heard good things come from this company. They have nearly given up. Now it's hard to find a proper Mercedes to fit the 75-80k dollar price point. The $65k starting e400 only makes 325HP while the 550HP E63 AMG starts right around $100k. Mercedes is the one German luxury manufacturer that I actually respect. They give what you'd expect from a 80-100k dollar car. Audi and BMW just try to ride the German wave. The point is that the American Engineers found a way to make the CTS -V more stylish, more powerful, handle better, last longer and cost less than their German counterparts while also using the same high quality materials. Just imagine what GM could do with a 200k dollar budget for the vette. I have no doubt that it would be better in everyway then the laferrari or P1 while sacrificing nothing! Does any car manufacturer have more resources then GM? Don't think so

Oh how dare they take the $120,000 ZR1 (not a limited production Corvette - simply a trim level you can select) and pit it up against a $150,000 Porsche. You're right, they should have pitted it against a $160,000+ Porsche. Do you honestly think carbon brakes would have mattered (rhetorical questions, of course you do)? They let the cars cool down between runs. Brakes aren't the issue. Even with more power, the 911 Turbo S can't touch the ZR1. This is a poor track to do tests on. So many slow corners that favor AWD (yet the ZR1 was still faster by nearly 4 seconds). The fastest 911 they've ever tested around Laguna is 4+ seconds slower than the NON-STICKY TIRE ZR1. The sticky-tired ZR1 is 2 seconds faster than that. That's a 6 second gap. 911 Turbo S with carbon ceramics...still slower than Z06, let alone ZR1.

The ZR1 would be faster in a straight line if it had all wheel drive but that's not american lol. Look at the trap speeds though thats what really shows it. The porsche is a full half of a second quicker to 60 in their test and runs a better quarter mile by .3 seconds but is faster on the trap speed.

AND the ZR1 does 10.6 sec in the quarter mile with drag radials. which is the only way the drag race would be fair against a 4wd

the 911 sound is shit

Keyser Soze you are shit!!! Did you hear an 911 in real life?

The corvette winds simply on LOOOKS. it looks a BILLION times better. Don’t even get me started on the sound.

Looked like 197 on the speedo. Then they said 177. Which is it?

I'd argue that American car engineering is the best in the world. The problem with the american car companies was that for a while, the accountants had entirely too much say. It was bad business, not bad engineering. The fact of the matter is, GM, Ford and Chrysler are back on top. The 100k dollar zo6 equipped with the z07 package will out perform anything sub 1 mil while giving you the same carbon and leather encrusted interior, advanced creature comforts and even some that the others don't offer. The vette isn't the only American car that has rose to the top either. Just look at the recent cars the mighty Americans have released. GM, Ford and dodge now give us the most diversity along the product line while VW, BMW, Porsche and Audi all fade to the back of the pack offering much of the same. What would you rather have, a 65k dollar Audi with no more than 350hp or a 580hp Cadillac CTS-v? What if I told you that the Cadillac has to some degree a nicer interior, corners better, has better brakes, is more reliable and has a better warranty? Would anyone argue that the Cadillac was the better car that is also engineered to a higher standard? American engineers are the worlds best. Our free and prosperous market allows the country to operate at cheaper rates while not compromising anything in terms of R and D, performance, and reliability. Ask yourself what Chevrolet could build if they had the budget of a Mercedes or Porsche. Remember, the best German, Japanese and Scandinavian engineers come to America to put that knowledge to use. America will always be the engineering Mecca and the American Car companies have kept that tradition going once again. Like it or not, GM is leading the charge

Nice kill for the vette.

I love Corvettes but who would know that a Porsche broke lol. The ZR1 is great but my love for the C6 Z06 with that big 7 liter LS7 is just insane.

@iwasadeum I totally believe it's fast, and probably handles very well! It sounds like a beast, But, GM supercars should include interior luxuries, too. I'd love a ZR1 if I could ever afford one, don't get me wrong, but the build quality could be better.

also the vette beat the porsche around the track by more than 3 seconds

I've always loved Corvettes and still do. that said, it's not a confidence-inspiring approach to say that "we're gonna charge you 6 figures, but you still have to think of our product like a bargain and be happy with the fact that for a few thousand bucks you can have the right seats and fit and finish in it and still be cheaper than the competition." in a 20-30K car that's an acceptable argument (better than the competition in numbers, but low in ergonomics), but not for a car that's 100K+

How can you compare a car with ceramic brakes (ZR1) to the steel on the 911?

Porsche broke down BAHAHAHAHAGA

***** You do realize that there are 6 second cars running on street legal drag radials. I know you don't get out much and this is your main source of information, but feel free to search for them.

You're right about Lotus building the LT5 the engine around GM's 4.4 bore spacing of their older LT engines. But they DIDN'T touch any other part of the car like you stated before. And GM DID own Lotus from 1986-1993 before selling it to Luxembourg-based A.C.B.N. Holdings S.A.

Cant wait for the C7 ZR 1. Should be over 700 hp now that the Z 06 is pushing 620.

Corvette working mans sports car the Porsche is better built but it is also a lot more to maintain I work on my vette myself what a great simple car..

Porsche better built.....it blew both turbos here?!?! LOL. Tempermental divas euros are....

Love the zr1

both are monsters with full bolt ons and tuned !

My exact words in a earlier post. "The 911 Carrera Cabriolet 100,532 Euros in GERMANY. The 911 Carrera Cabriolet $109,745 the equivalent of 85,591.23euro in the U.S. It's cheaper here than in it's native country." I DID list the exact same car. Like I said just empty excuses.
