[ForceFed4g63]

Damn, zr1 is stout.

[csikx]

I'd to own either one!

[CINDERBLOCK]

Prime example of how you can build one hell of a bad ass car for a metric shit tone less than you can buy one!

Mustang 30k hellion turbo 6k or spend 100k + for the vette

[ForceFed4g63]

I'd like to have either one as well but Damn that vette is beautiful.

Ahhhh, come on...

That's like saying buy a $1,000 Honda and put $24,000 into it and be faster than both mentioned.

Exactly. Been saying those exact word for years.

[WWhittle]

Good lord that Vette looked good.

[Qwik_Sn95]

Guy said his mustang only made 550....I put a zip code on a local 5.0 making 706 to the wheels. Been trying to run a local Zr1 but cant get him to show up.

Why would he, if you beat a car making 706RWHP?

[Qwik_Sn95]

He dont know that....

[jmd]

rather have the vette.

BUT, your gonna pull WAY more ass in that vette than ANY four eyed mustang....

I did.

You can fit more than one ass at a time in the mustang. :)

I did.

Why?

Cause I can!

I would love to run one at the track or on the street...saw one the other day with a 102 year old driving and he wouldnt even give it a throttle punch...I have less than 7k in mine

Historically, the median age for a Vette owner is 95 years old. They dont race much at that age or pull much ass frankly.

Hell you can have a 30k Mustang and a 1k nitrous kit and do the same, but I must say that Vette was nice indeed.

Nah, then you have a Honda with 800hp and 100 foot pounds of torque.:poke:

Hey now! It is actually 53 years old.

The only difference is in the vette you'll get one ten riding with you. In the Mustang youll get two threes and a a four riding with you.

There was an 800hp Honda in Corpus Christi destroying EVERYONE before I moved to San Diego. At that point...it was a shell of a Honda..about it.

I really don't get it. The vett was the quicker car. The mustang jumped him. Then the vett was pulling at the end. And there is a lot more to a car than just drag racing.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

He may have jumped him a lil but the Vette should have run him slap over. He couldnt get around the Mustang. Wins a Win.

[CINDERBLOCK]

They shut down at 130. The vette was creeping but I was impressed with the mustang.

[wade w]

You think he won? Just because the video stopped doesn't mean the race did. The video was comming from the mustang. Once he saw the vett pulling he quit recording. And really? A little? The mustang had half a car on the vette before the vette jumped. It takes a while to over come a jump like that.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Dude it was 45 to 130 MPH. Thats a sufficient amount of time I think.

[wade w]

That's only about a 8th mile. Maybe they were going for a1/4.:mrgreen:

ZR1 has another 70mph in it, I don't think the Mustang won.

[jesse w]

I think its funny how the third honk was real fast,If it was done right the vette would have won.

[chrisheltra]

Who cares who should have won. The vette did as expected and the 5.0 did better than expected which resulted in a decent race and an entertaining video.

Juswow. Sometimes I think I lose intelligence everytime I sign on this forum. I get so tired of having to explain the point or revalance of every single video that gets posted on here. Heres the point of this video. Stock to stock the vette would run the gt mustang slap over. Add a turbo to the mustang and viola you got a race. Doesnt matter if the vette would have gotten around the stang or not. The point is.......get ready for it.......the vette had to work his ass off to do it. The car with $37000 invested just gave the $100000 car a damn good run for its money.

Who the F cares how long a honk is? Last time I checked the length of a honk wasn't the determining factor in a race lol!

[adamcs]

Nobody is ever going to win this argument lol I do agree its funny that a car for half the price can be much faster but i guarantee if you tell the owner of the zr1 that he will still look at you and say well its still just a mustang and i still own a zr1....in which case he would have a valid point lol

I wasnt directing that toward anyone so whos the intelligent one now ?

[BigdaddyDupree]

the leave or a jump from a roll is hard to come back from. but i would go trade the zr1 on 2 boss mustangs and cash lol

I was just pointing out he had to cheat to get in front of the zr1.

[ForceFed4g63]

I have never in my life heard that the length of a honk determined the outcome of a race. That's like saying the green light didn't stay on long enough. I don't see how that's cheating.

Exactly! Same as beating a vette in a civic. He still owns a vette and you still own a civic... been there done that.

[adamcs]

All im sayin is the old guy that baught a vette probably couldnt give a shit less how fast it is all most of those guys care about is a social status that comes with the 110k price tag

[jesse w]

not the length but the pause between the beeps,the first pause was long and the second was super short

[Carlrx7]

so much win in this thread.

[FRDnemesis]

sssshhhhhhhh, you can't say that here on this board. Who needs do anything besides go fast in a straight line :mrgreen:

Been down this road quite a bit lately on this board :hide:

Here's one for you..........wait for it,............... wait for it,.............. the vette isn't 100k because it goes fast in a straight line :D. If thats all chevrolet cared about, the car would be 55k-60k, not 120k. So throwing price into this conversation is a point that "shouldn't be".

[1998ta__1991rs]

this thread is awesome

[1998ta__1991rs]

look at the zr1's lap times on the road courses and compare them to the lambos, Ferrari's etc.......seems like a bargain now doesnt it

[KissMyWhiteSS]

:bigthumb:

You can build almost any decent car up to be faster than a stock ZR1, for half the price. Hell you can probably do it and it be faster than some lambos, ferraris, and porsches...but what would you rather own?

Not taking anything away from the mustang, it's stout by all means.

Bottom line.

Buy 100k ZR1 drive in USA = 90% of driving get raped by 30k built Honda and slim shady driving.

Buy 100k ZR1, Ship to Germany for a couple grand, pay a couple franklins so You drive on nurburgring, get raped by stock mini cooper with pro driver.

Buy 100k ZR1, Ship to Germany for a couple grand, pay a couple thousand for a pro driver to drive your ZR1, he actually does well, ship car back, tell all your friends you ran that time. (inside you are actually hurting cause you notice your penis is small)

100k for car that can get raped by 30k car in its back yard where it does 90% of its driving and where everyone complains "Theres more than just straight" is by no means a bargan. Noone here is a pro driver, your lucky you can spell left and right, if you go to a track where there is left and right you will get runover by real drivers that do it for a living or hit something with your 100k car so it reall doesnt matter how good your car handles.

If you buy a ZR1 you dont buy it because you can drive, or you want something that goes fast, because honestly you can build something that is faster everywhere for less money. You buy one for prestige, or to hide your grey hair or your insecurities. I'd own one, but it would have to be given to me because no car is worth 100k IMHO, I can buy a bunch of lakefront property that would actually go up in value for that..... Now thats a bargan.

Moral of the story....... Mustang owner in video has more brain cells than Corvette owner in this video.....

Makes since though, thats the bad part and everyone knows it lol.

[2001hawk]

FYI it is bargain. There is a ZR1 up at Boeing. I don't think the lady that owns and drives it to work would mind if you said her penis was small. In fact she would probably rather you said it was nonexistent. LOL. I know what you are saying about spending the money on something else, but most of the people who would buy a ZR1 wouldn't be caught dead in a 30k Honda. I do find it funny when you talk about drag racing some asshole always says "yeah but my car can autoX". I remind them I have more than one car.

[FRDnemesis]

Makes since though, thats the bad part and everyone knows it lol.

Randy, you are no doubt a very intelligent guy, but a majority of your logic and stereotyping about this car or owners, is more "Hank Hill" than Dalai Lama.

Tell me again why you bought a lightning instead of a regular F150 and made it faster for less money?

Weren't you also considering a 2013 GT500? (Using your logic) Wouldn't it be a better investment to buy a regular GT and just put a turbo on it?

Are you one of the 10% that are capable of driving that car to its potential on a road course or a drag strip b/c if you are not (using your logic) you shouldn't buy one.



If people only bought types of cars based purely on what the 90%er driver skillset is; the roads would be full of pickups (non-Lightning), mini vans and bicycles. Someone is always gonna be faster for cheaper, someone is always gonna hate the cars you like and unfortunately haters are gonna hate and stereotype the types of people who drive certain types of cars. Sometimes the stereotypes are true but......................... they are not a one size fits all. So out of curiosity, what insecurities are people who pay $71-80,000. for a new GT500 hiding? Nevermind, that was a Rhetorical question:mrgreen:


Psssst, (whispering) where is this place you can buy a "bunch of lake front property" for $100k? I think I'm interested in that investment. :cheers:

Thanks kinda what i was going for.

Tell me again why you bought a lightning instead of a regular F150 and made it faster for less money?
Because, rear end, transmission, and motor at the time was bang for the buck and I got a deal, I couldn't have baught a regular f150 for the price I paid. Even after a blown HG, mods and engine builds ive done, I have less than 20k in the truck total.

Weren't you also considering a 2013 GT500? (Using your logic) Wouldn't it be a better investment to buy a regular GT and just put a turbo on it? I said like, not buy, but yes thats exactly what i'd do and laugh at the 70k car as i gapped it.


Are you one of the 10% that are capable of driving that car to its potential on a road course or a drag strip b/c if you are not (using your logic) you shouldn't buy one.
Ive actually talked to people at the track that could hardly spell their name, but could drive their car to the fullest potential, an ape could drive a top fuel car down the strip given the proper training and car setup.
Road racers require a little more inteligence.

Its not just Corvette owners. Every make has two types of patrons in the performance car world. The purist who rarely drives his car and will NEVER modify it because it would ruin the value and most of all only drives their car when rain is more than 300 miles away but less than 2k miles a year. They'd rather talk wax, car covers and the next car show.

and then

There is the enthusiast; blasphemist people like you and I who modify purpose built performance vehicles to push them to the next level. Most of all, our driving is not dictated by the weather channel or mileage clicking off on the odometer.

Every manufacture has these two types, I just happen to fit in better with the latter of the bunch.

I think we can agree that the "latter" was what this guy with the ZR1 in the video was, and I think we would both agree that if there was a turbo Z06 in that mix, it would rape them both and still be cheaper than that ZR1.
