Exactly!That's the beauty in it.You can now (assuming you have a large amount of money to spend)buy any number of cars that are faster and handle better than anything from the past(as far as mass produced,sub million dollar cars go).You can have whatever you want,ranging from basically a racecar with street tires to full blown luxury sedan,and they all have very similar,mind blowing capabilities.
If I were in a position to buy something like this,I'd be really torn.

im not saying the GTR is the end all car, or that it "drives itself" ( it really doesnt, ride in one)(because if it does, then all new super cars pretty much "drive" themselves)

there are way too many variables to that race, do i think if it was a 1/2 mile it would be different? yes, the 458 and other cars are more aerodynamic/lighter.

also suprised the ZR1 wasnt in there, because some of those cars are passed zr1 price.

and i know the brovette is very american and not exactly the easiest to launch, and from what i understand, the zr1 is extremely hard (maybe why it wasnt chosen?)


again, its just drag racing, anyone can go in a straight line, what really matters is a track with turns!
Hit some switches,floor the throttle and hold the brake.Release brake and take off like a rocket,either tapping a paddle to shift,or let the car do it for you.Obviously,there's still room for driver error,but it doesn't ge much easier than that.Launching a RWD car with a manual tranny and gobs of torque is much harder I'd say.
I agree that it's BS the ZR1 wasn't included.I also think they should have used the M3 instead of 1M,although I'm sure that's based on the 1M being a new model and the M3 being mostly unchanged for several model years now.

I'm in the same boat(well,my coupe is now stripped down,but it was faster).Only thing is,my Civic had to be on slicks to make that sort of ET.These are cars you can jump in and just go run these times....and pull bitches.These cars also have a much more useable powerband than a high boost B/K engine will ever have.I'm not hating at all-I think it's badass to have a shitbox Civic that costs 1/30th the price of some of these cars and runs the same kind of ETs,but there's many,many limitations there.

jus sayin'



yeah, with a great driver behind the wheel, for what its worth, the zr1 rolls the fuck out. and i doubt every single driver in that MT race was a MT staffer. natchez even said his buddy drove the gt3rs



im sure it did, and it would have helped had they been on a prepped track ( it in all honesty, could have been prepped to the best of its conditions.)

Why no viper? replace the stang with a new viper. why not replace the m3 with a m5? ( just pondering how a new m3 would do agaisnt a m5

for this to be the "greastest drag race in history" i would have liked to see them run on that 4 car drag race, and then have "ghost" cars
Probably because the new M5 isn't officially out yet,and the new Viper is still a ways off.




And on that note,this is Dope Status.Back to pics of ill fitting wheels(I kid,I kid!)
