Ferrari 458 / Corvette ZR1 / Nissan GT-R drag race (Motorsport) - YouTube

 

[Mr.Ree]

Nice. The ZR1 time is pretty amazing. Suprised to see the 458 reaching a higher speed on the straight than the ZR1.

The ZR1 was comprehensively better in turns but I think its tyres are pure MPSCs rather than MPSC+s. Quite surprised the GTR out-dragged the ZR1 over a whole km too.

the point is not the 458's speed @ 1 KM(20.30 is one of the worst ever, 267 kph is slower than italian tests) but how is slow on straight the ZR1: seems a Z06...
458 and ZR1 are the same of Autobild

but Zr1 has now the Pilot SC instead the PS2
even so, Zr1 has an incredibly cornering speed! is it use friendly too when wet and/or rough surfaces?

 

[Mr.Ree]

Agreed. All times look slow but I'd still have expected the ZR1 to pull a better speed even if the time was slower due to the transmission.

Yes, they are the pure MPSC tires, not Cup+. Despite these grippier tires (compared to the old PS2), this same car was slower in 0-100 than when it was on the PS2. Traction and weather could be a factor, but perhaps the drag race video offers an insight: They seem to launch only at idle. If that is how they did the km run, then the GT-R's off the line launch would be too strong to overcome before the km.
Still, even with the old PS2, the ZR1 maintained higher cornering speed than both the R8 GT and 458 in the Auto Bild test. And was slower than both down the fastest straight of the track. Probably the transmission is a factor for sure, but also perhaps the weight distribution. It would be interesting to see what the corner exit speeds are like. Another possible factor is supercharger heat soak.

If I well remember a white ZR1 tested by a French magazine was dynotested at 618 ch. I don't remember wich mag was. Probably Sport Auto (Fr). Something say me it was the same car.
