World's greatest drag race-including a 458

Cool, but leave it to Motor Trend to have no Lamborghini and a non-ZR1 Corvette.
It is funny how slow the BMW and Evora looks when they cross the line.

 

it is what it are... they even said it was not serious... they did it because the could... for grins... runway was 11 cars wide... probably the first 11 cars to sign up were in... thought is was good enough... 11 sec 1/4 mile is very good in most crowds... short of keeping score, pick the one that turns you on, they all are winners

 

This video had potential, but I was disappointed with the results

 

Maybe you'll like this one better, this air strip wasn't so dust covered so AWD had less of an advantage. ZR1 could have had a better launch though

Interesting:

GTR 121.8 MPH
458 125.6 MPH

I guess the 458 was slow getting off the line, but was catching up quickly.

 

Launch control vs. clutch leg, not really a fair race even though the ZR1 has a hp advantage.

 

Closing fast. Just hitting its stride.

 

I don't care for the ADD inspired video editing. Just show the damn race without changing views every .2 seconds. That helicopter view would have been great the entire time.

Too bad they didn't do a best of 3 runs, let the drivers get a better feel for the car

 

I thought the same thing, ZR1 also has launch control. I wonder why they didn't use it. Maybe because it destroys the clutch like on previous Ferrari's?

 

Its a ZO6, not a ZR1!

 

no...that was a zr-1 but clearly not driven well as there is ZERO chance of a 458 leaving a zr-1 for dead like that.

 

There are two different videos. The Motor Trend video has a ZO6

 

Hello Im sorry for that, I didnt know that there were two videos. looking at the video with the ZR1, theres something very wrong with that car or the driver is no better than me, and Im not that good, LOL.

 

No worries, I agree the ZR1 could be launched much better

 

Regardless of who won, the 458 still looked the best.

 

Hi plugzit,

I looked out that video twice, it's really full if excitement and entertainment race really. And I want to say thanks for specially share this nice video.

 

GTR really does eat super cars for breakfast, best car ever built (for the money).

 

oops - I posted this in the 458 section this morning.

 

Technically it's a Z06.

 

Motor Trend performed a 11 exotic car drag race, fun video to watch

Sorry didnt see the other thread on this

 

458 finishes 1/10th behind the GTR, but with a higher trap speed; highlights the benefit of AWD.

my neighbor has a modded, 620 bhp GTR, he readily admits it scares the hell out of him

 

There was a GTR running at Miller Motorsports Park last week and it was just too quiet for my liking. It sounded like a Dyson, whereas the Ford GT actually hurt my ears as it went by.

 

Have you been ingesting something like your user name?

It is an amazing car, but 1/10th of a second and traps speeds of GTR 121.8 MPH
458 125.6 MPH, is not eating the 458 "for breakfast".
