Wow,.....it's an N/A car?!?!? (Goes to show how much I know about these foreign made cars. lol) Wow, that is impressive.
I love both the R8 and the ZR1.
I wish the Ausi RS3 came with a remote start. I would 100% buy one as my next daily driver. That car is a mini pocket rocket.
It doesn’t matter guys. This guy has something against me. He really thinks I care if his car is close to mine in performance? Lol. How about I spend 2k do pulleys and tune and make him look like Marvis Frazier against Tyson.
nope. The only thing running wrong is your understanding of drag racing. You have proven you are clues in several threads already. Carry on.
Would love to see a roll race between the 2 cars
2 more Cylinders, DOHC and a dual clutch On the R8 you left out. That combo with AWD makes for a really quick car no doubt. But would love to see a Roll race Between the 2. That is where the extra power in the Zed will shine.
Since you said you’re “faster”, shit for brains.
“Quick” refers to ET... “fast” refers to trap speed.
You ever been down a drag strip or you one of those “save picture as” type of girls every time you see a 10 sec slip to claim as your own?

I didn't bring up dct because if you remember correctly the GM trans in the C7 claim to fame was it upshifts faster than a DCT.
I don't care for seeing roll races because I am from the era that all the muscle car guys use to make fun of imports wanting to roll race, now all of a sudden everybody wants to roll races because they can't control their car ( not referring to you or OP or anybody specifically in this thread )
Also the ZR1 areo would probably play a negative part it its performance in a roll race because it was built for track racing. If anything you and others should be wanting to see it on track racing now a dumbass roll race.
Love that AO is getting to experience all these great cars and to be honest I'm not sure why gofast15 went after him in the other thread ( maybe they got into it in a different thread ) idk .

eveyone is different and has their own opinions on racing but I’ve always liked roll racing better. Less chance driver error plays a factor and less chance the launch is messed up. And C7 claim to fame faster shifts , not sure I believe it. DCT is DCT. Nothing touches it in terms of fast shifts.
2015 Corvette Z06 Eight-Speed Automatic Reportedly Shifts Faster Than A Dual-Clutch Transmission
This is where I got that from so unless the zr1 has a lesser transmission than the z06 there is no reason to say the R8 has an advantage with its DCT.
So by roll racing you eliminate everything that manufacturers do to make the car capable of what it runs and turn it into who has the most hp. You are right everybody has different opinions on racing but I just think it's pointless. You want to see the zr1 roll against the r8 because that would be the only chance it had giving the hp and tq difference were as I tend to like the idea of two different philosophies on how to reach a certain distance battle.
i never went after him, have no clue why he came at me hard and embarrassed himself in the previous post. i have been drag racing since I was 16, owned many many cars. Love them all. I never wanted to be the fastest, for me it was all about trying new cars and seeing what I personally like/dislike about each one.
he set himself up as clueless the moment he compared timeslips at different tracks, different days, different temps etc etc etc. Then, for the first time in the history of planet earth he made the claim that a c7zr1 is a disappointment considering the power. has anyone even read ONE review from an sort of automotive expert that the c7zr1 is a disappointment? Just one?
my car is stock too, so if we are going to compare, lets compare them stock. I'll use car and driver as my source.

I'm 2 seconds ahead to 150, brake nearly 20 feet sooner from 70, pull a 1.18g on the skidpad compared to his 1.0, trap 6mph stock in the 1/4 mile, have 7mph on him in top speed and the list goes on and on and on...all this from a chevy?
Not only does my Zr1 destroy his Audi in nearly every single category stock but it literally costs 80K less! Not only that but if I was in the market to buy an awd german or euro car I would pick his last and many professional reviewers have done that. His car is constantly in last place when compared to the McLaren 570 and Porsche 911.
This is why I don't take his posts too seriously. He's running around acting like he runs the streets when the truth is (especially in my area) his car is SLOW. I have AMS 5 minutes from my house and see Alpha 12 and higher GTR's all the time...car's that run 8's at over 160mph and look relatively stock. I also do track days on occasion with them.
Nobody is impressed with his car, other than him of course. And that's fine because that's all that should matter, but don't come on to peoples post and try to bench race and compare cars at different tracks/different days etc.
On a sidenote I took part in a Trump rally in my Zr1 yesterday...This car gets dam near the same amount of attention as my McLaren did...maybe more. The MAGA crowd was going nuts when I was holding the flag and driving alongside them!

double post
Same trans but from my understanding, better cooling and better tuning. Shifting wise (having owned several DCT cars) the Zr1/Z06 A8 shifts really really hard and well in full auto mode...it's the paddles that leave something to be desired, that being said the fastest way down the track or from a roll would be in full auto mode.
LOL I do not know how your thread became a contest b/w R8 and ZR1 but whatevs.
Both are bad ass cars but the ZR1 does more for me personally. End of an era in front engine vettes and produced only one year. The R8 started out as a knock off/poor mans lambo and has steadily improved since but is not a special car IMO. I am not too into Audis but from what I understand it is the RS6 Avant that gets those guys tight, not the R8. Not shitting on anyone's ride but that is how I see it. Both are plenty fast and respond well to mods. I think if you wanted to do a cost is no option max effort build you would probably be better with the R8 but you cannot go wrong with the ZR1.
Speaking of OPs ZR1 has me looking at these now. As far as I can tell there is only one M7 in the country and it is right in OPs backyard.
lol. I’m OP... I have the Z06 the thread is titled for. although after this thread I want a ZR1 even more.
Roll racing has become the norm because 700rwhp is common now. Without some serious suspension work and the biggest DR you can find, good luck hooking up under 60mph on the street

not going to lie, I want one of those RS6 wagons in a bad way as a good all around vehicle.
that said if I were out to buy a car right now for weekend use it would be a coin flip between the gen V ACR or the C7ZR1. Both aren’t seen often and will do well to hold value. The R8 is just never something that comes to mind though it’s a very nice car for what it is. Send one to UGR and it’s a different story but I don’t know they just do t have that special feel to them. That said I’m no svtp baller so there’s that LOL
