Does it look like the guy running that ZR1 in the video missed the light to anyone else?

yea he missed the light by atleast a second….and 2nd gear was horrible……he could have shaved atleast 1.5 seconds off that run
looked like a sub 9 sec car!

Ok, so that ZR1 is pretty awesome as a track-only car, but I think that if I drove it on a daily in the real world I would be dead within a week of picking it up, rear wheel drive + 700 hp + (insert weather other than dry) = certain death. And how much is it? The regular ZR1 is already $110 K, and add the Hennessey package, I’d rather get a GTR (with all wheel drive) as a daily driver and then pocket the rest or set up a fund for my kids’ college
I will admit I am a Nissan fanboy, but if I did have a lot of money and a track nearby, or got into racing on the weekends, then I might consider a Vette, but I’d take mine to Lingenfelter, not Hennessey, here’s a link to some stuff that has been circulating for years
