Motor Trend is really stepping up their videos lately.

This one is a full comparison between the ZR1 and the 911 Turbo... 0-60, 1/4 mile, FULL MILE, slalom, braking, skid pad, and road course.

Guess who they picked as the winner?

Could have got the 911 with the carbon brakes to make the test fairer ;-)

Never mind the PCCM brakes, etc...

I was just surprised that the tt is so close on straight accel, with the much worse power/weight ratio.

I guess a better comparison (excluding price of course ;-)) will come from the GT2 RS :twisted:.

I think Evo magazine had figured the 911 at 3.2secs to 60....in the wet. And those Porker horses have always been well fed and chunky.

The GT2 RS would be a better comparison in every way - rear wheel drive and much lighter if half a ZR1 on top price wise
