Default Everyone should not own a ZR1

Here is the main reason why some idiots should stay in their BMW and Mercedes.
Poor Vette owner in the middle lane.

Something about... "a man has to know his limitations" ... I think applies here....

the size of ones wallet does not necessarily relate to the size of ones driving ability

why the F do people turn off their traction control in traffic???

I have a base C6 coupe and even at 430 hp, if the tires aren't really warmed up, it will swap end quick.

I'm no expert...

Does not look like a ZR1 to me. No carbon roof, wrong fenders....

Still does fix the problem with the bonehead move in a vette convoy

I just put ZR1 because the owner of the video put ZR1.

It just looks like every vette wreck is a ZR1 or Z06.... When you look at the car, it's not. Showing off the new puffer or NOS at the wrong time

If it is not a ZR1 than it is a Z06 with work. My ZR1 put down 421 at the rear wheels and I cannot break them loose at 55 just by accelerating.

Does not appear to be a wide body car.

It a whole different ball game with the C6.

Stock Z06 440-460 rwhp range (stock) the low weight with stock run flats = zero traction. My stock Z06 will come unglued @ 60mph roll on. This made me quickly change rubber. Now the stock clutch will not hold the new PS2 rubber. First mod to the car will be a dual disk ZR1 clutch.

My old AB Z would hold 2nd with 380rwhp. Hit the N2O and it was all over the road in 3rd. The torque was over 500rwtq. The ZR-1 (with N2O ) felt the same as the stock Z06 on stock rubber for traction.
