I don't understand some of hte bias that appears on this site.

1) When driven for time the Zr1 was MUCH more composed than the R8.

2)The R8 can send as much as 80% of it's torpue to the rear wheels, but it can send significantly increases the power to the front wheels whent the back wheels start sliding.

3) Corvettes will never have as nice of an interior as a Lambo.They have a lower price point designed to keep them generally obtainable.

4) I don't understand how you can blindly discount the disadvantage of a damp track to a 630hp rwd car.

Stage 2 I ran a 12.9X, though I was a bit conservative because I snapped my engine mounts the first time at the track. Regardless I DOUBT I'd have ran under a faster 12.9 or 12.8 even with a better launch. Where in Florida are you now? I see some crazy videos on the I95 you guys got over there.

I don't believe that. Got a video or timeslip?

I have the ZR1, and 2 other cars with LS motors, nothing breaks. What will a timing belt change cost on a V-10 Lambo motor? Think it will get 25mpg? What about the all wheel drive system? Transfer case, differentials? What will they cost when something goes wrong?

It was over 2 years ago, no sorry.

Call bull**** all you want lol trust me I'm not losing sleep over a forum member not believing me. There are plenty of stock STi's running 13.1-13.3 on other forums.

The ignorance of some is astonishing.

Combined city and highway it's right under 21. Also Audi will most likely warranty all that.

No one is doubting a STi running solid low 13's. The all wheel drive system makes these cars animals to launch. Add some boost & low 13's are entirely possible. I love the concept of light sedans crammed full of high grade components, The handling is spectacular as well. Bull**** was the last thing on my mind. Sorry if you felt that way.

Isn't it kind of obvious the ZR1 is going to be faster?
