What would it take for a '03/'04 Cobra to take down a stock ZR1?

[onemeangixxer7502]

I had an '08 LS3 and LOVED the car. It's a long story for why I got the ZR1, but there is NO doubt the LS3 Vette is a much better value. It's 80% of a ZR1 IMO, but that last 20% is pretty sweet, but it's an expensive premium.

Rihay, what other cars do you think would be good track cars? Elise, Exige, Miata, GT-R?

Exige, cheap too i have one Ill sell ya!

I don't care what anyone says but a ZR1 is a badass car. I'd be happy with a LS3 c6 too.

Quoted for Truth!

I like Corvettes and this is my 3rd one.

With that said the choice makes sense.

The only other better new track cars are the ACR Viper and the GT3 RS Porsche in a similar price range. I liked the Vette overall and got a good deal on it as it was a new leftover '10 model

You overlooking quite a few. Especially for tracks like MSRC, HHR and HMRC.
ECR and MSRH barely allow the more powerful cars to stretch their legs.
TWS is a notable exception.

He has bigger turbos than me! I have baby 61mm's and they aren't even ball bearing.

John do you think having ball bearing turbo's would really make much more power then what you are currently making? I kinda doubt it.


I only make 500rwhp so what ZR1 wants to race? I down, I'll be at dale tomorrow.

that's what i got.. not all of us are baller enough for zr1s we have to get lowly coupes.

Why are you sandbagging with your horsepower numbers? I know you make 490!!!! hahaha secret is out!

There is a much larger number of slower "performance" cars. Enjoying it is really all that matters.

The car is quick, but I am well aware there are a large number of faster cars in the metroplex. I enjoy driving it, so that's all I care about at the end of the day.

You were looking for a track car in the $100K range and you bought a Corvette?
What was the criterion you used? Not being critical, genuinely curious.

I like Corvettes and this is my 3rd one. I got my first one at 23 and I'm 34 now, so I'm a big fan. The only other better new track cars are the ACR Viper and the GT3 RS Porsche in a similar price range. I liked the Vette overall and got a good deal on it as it was a new leftover '10 model. It is a good car to cruise around town; rides good, quiet at part throttle, etc. But, switch to sport mode and nail the gas and it's pretty exciting. It's better dual natured than the RS and ACR.

When I meant I bought the car primarily for track days, that means 4-5 track weekends a year and weekend cruiser the rest of the year. I'm not much of a drag racer, so that is what I meant by doing track days. If I wanted a drag race only car, there are much better options at lower price points.

I'll run whoever time and safe conditions permitting for fun. The car is quick, but I am well aware there are a large number of faster cars in the metroplex. I enjoy driving it, so that's all I care about at the end of the day.

A ZR1 is a badass car for sure! I'd like to race one just for the hell of it.
