Oh bad man. Love It

Me too!!

Began for me around 20 years ago and lastet 10 years now it is occasionally :-)

The videos help to show how paper numbers of HP and NM dont translate in real life to bigger is better.

Yes

Saying corvettes are straight line cars is the biggest lie told to the car community. I've had 2 c6 corvettes, and multiple other cars from 350z to amg gts and the corvette is still my favorite.

If it was the C7ZR1 it would have left that Ferrari in the dust

At the time the ZR1 mopped the floor with everything at the nurburgring. The corvette driver here is trash.

@@the_bar you haven't had a Ferrari or a lambo thats why it's your favourite

@@iwshfg6 thats a funny assumption while I haven't owned either I've certainly driven a few and i still dont think i would daily drive any because i like my clutch. Not to take away from those cars i believe they are amazing cars and think i will own 1 soon. And just so you understand corvettes are my favorite not becaus they are the most expensive or fastest or best looking or anything like that, because they are not what they are is one of the most practical 2 seat high performance spots car that you can take to a track day beat on some expensive cars or go to any car meet and fit in. I daily drive a c6 z06 and people are always surprised of how huge the trunk is but the most important part to me is how much fun they are and as much as there are many cars faster its not the same without a stick.

I had one with tubi exhaust and I used to rev that bitch often!! Hell, even the 430 was a beautiful sounding ride too.

And also handled better than even the Chiron.

Gearing

@@dr.lyleevans6915 8,500 RPM and light weight

Are you serious another 6 lap, and the nsx was a lap behind brother is not a bad car but sorry with supercars can do nothing

@@roderickmicallef2254 wtf are you even talking about. Clearly it is slower I have eyes I can see what place it came in. Just commenting on how quickly it pulls to redline compared to the Ferrari

@@dr.lyleevans6915 Ferrari has shorter gears that's why it's a 7 speed. 1-2 happens so quickly that the computer has to shift the car automatically even in manual setting

go sleep fanboy

LS swap an S2000 for less and be c7 zr1 power to weight with better handling and 250kg less lol.

@@N4CR5 Ls Swapping a s2000 and calling it a day as if it were 50/50 weight distribution after fitting an engine two times the size is quite questionable. But I get your point

@@patryk3738 clown

Ironic that you think the big V8 would dramatically change the weight/weight distribution of the car... When both the LS family and the S2000 i4 engines weigh around 350-450 lbs, depending on what exact equipment is included (with both quoting 450-ish for a dressed engine). The LS family of engines are legendary for their compact external dimensions and low weight, making them ideal engines to swap into even fairly lightweight vehicles... Because even a typical 2.0L i4 weighs as much or more than them, despite routinely having half the HP...

I think a American driver who knows how to handle a vette woulda caught that 458 but it was still a great race

@@courtneyphillips3773 the origin of a driver doesnt even matter, you can drive or you can't drive, this guy clearly showed he can handle a ZR1 at its peak.

@@courtneyphillips3773 an American driver would’ve weighed the ZR1 down too much.

@@bartog1800 maybe but I've watched alot of the vids and they always struggle with American cars..a American driver like Randy p. Or tanner f can get the most out of a vette because they use to high power rwd cars..these guys race light weight awd cars mostly but it dont take alot of skill to drive those..not saying these guys not good drivers but just cause u a pro dont mean u a pro with every car

@@johnjuiceshipper4963 not even 😂

All I know is, "Nani!?"

Nani?

you are. i learned both english AND japanese mostly by consuming subtitled media. it's the best way to learn a new language.

But then they couldn’t make the Japanese car win?

@@riderhawley7296 yeah, because that definitely helped here.

@@riderhawley7296 whenever the non-Japanese car is superior in some way or another they just clearly say so. They are very objective, in contrast to the Europeans.

You forgot their precious nsx-r. It has to be in it.

@@voodoodiecast Because it's the best car ever!

it has no chance against these

@@Rorschach34Bos I would not dismiss a well tuned 370 any day. Plenty of people making close to 1000hp with them.

@@thetacticalape8852 any car can make 1000hp if u spend money on it

@@thetacticalape8852 she'll hang but not for long

The 370Z was at 100%. It's a relatively cheap street car after all. After a few laps the Z heat soaked; which has more to do with the factory cooling system than the tune. This is to be expected. The cars it was going up against are big money track cars. They're built for this and you pay for the refinement.

More fast if use f1 gearbox

街乗りでタイヤ減るとヤバいって事ですね

デビュー予定の「新型」という名のビッグマイナーも同じ弱点を引きずるんかな

最近の日産の持病とも言われてますしね… 新型Zでもありそう

Hell yes

That would be a complete waste of the other 6 days of the week. All the other cars were amazing would be a blast on the street/touge.

@@thedoctormma9433 The NSX is in a class of its own. If you know you know.

even more on Fuji Speedway

Ls7 beast

gtr isn't rwd

If it wasn't holding up the rest of the cars for half the race, it would have been much much worse. Fuck Honda.

It wasn't if you consider the price of the car. You pay for overall performance for the car, but it is lacking when you factor in the price of the car.

@@CU08 the cars has the handling, just need boost.

As a jdm guy, who hopes to attain a ferrari one day, I think that Zr1 was a bit handicapped, not sure if it was driver issue or just the general setup of the car (tyres, suspension, etc). Based on other reviews ive seen, zr1 should be much more cleaner around the corners. Looks like he was all over the shop in a few laps. Even the drift king himself questioned the ZR1 driver towards the end of the video.

What your saying is to exclude the Z because its not expensive like the other cars? Such a ignorant boomer way of thinking.

@@BNR_248 very cold race track, he couldn't drive the car to its potential, saw a few shifts go below 4k rpm, and he also started late, so honestly he did great all things considered

@@saltyfloridaman7163 yea agreed! I don’t think this video represents which car is “better”

@@BigBoyz33 yes that's exactly what he's saying.

The corvette and ferrari 458 were the only cars with high performance all-season tires. The rest had extreme summer tires. If you put the advans or re11's on the vette and ferrari the outcome would be very very different.

Track is too small for that corvette. Struggles when it comes out of the turns. The cold temp also doesn’t help.

Ugh put on your glasses, the Ferrari and NSX were even more of a handful, did you see how much oversteer both had to fight and correct with the steering wheel. The ZR1 on the other hand looked like it was just cruising easily. Sorry you suck (not sorry).

@@zombielivesmatter7294 when all their power's in the top end, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the drivers are almost full sending the honda & ferraris into the corners, they're mid-engined, they have much less torque-y motors, and they gladly rev up to high hell & back. you can literally hear the zr1 driver trying his damndest not to spin it at around 2500-3000rpm while coming out of those low speed corners from the amount of torque it wants to put down. don't get me wrong, the corvette is an awesome machine, this track & tire combination just wasn't ideal for it.

@@Mrmudbone_gaming I wonder what the race would be like if if was racing at the Daytona road course? Hummm..... I wonder if the 647hp would benefit?

Absolutely the 370Z is a stunning car, always catches my attention when I see one. The body lines are just perfect

C7 zr1 should be there

@@eustahijelifetips this is an old video..

@@oscarf3194 true that

if driver had kept revs up, even greater

Probably that'd be a really old video tho.

Thank you

Best Motoring

It's japan...... it's obviously rigged lol

The ZR1 actually has a similar magnetic suspension setup to a Ferrari.

And yet the 360 was keeping up with the ZR1...

I know. I don't know why they threw it in there. I own a g37(same engine) and love it too death but like I wouldn't race against high end cars. I know imma get destroyed

@@hotdoghero1875 Yea, it was a bit out of place...lol

The Z is tuned... heavily tuned I guess. Might be the reason why it suffers reliability issue later in the race. Modification usually sacrifices reliability. Anyway Z is still a fair ride, feel for you. And speaking of getting slaughtered, my poor NSX as well😅, it's here only because it's the fastest rwd from Japan.

I own a 370 and when I saw the competition I was like.. why?

Best motoring does this alot where they will throw in a more consumer level car to compare it to the top tier level cars. Like I watched one video where a sw20 mr2 was thrown into a race involving a GTR, 512TR, F40 and RUF CTR.

@@MrSilnev well that's unfair. That's like my g35 sedan racing a hellcat

It was a mildly tuned up 370z. Most likely a more tuned up version wasn't available at the time of taping the show. A lot of times they'll throw in a more heavely tuned up jdm to compete better.

Is didn't do that bad, speaks high of the Z.
