No no no video ZR2&Nissan
The slowest, least powerful and heaviest of the Z06, Viper ZCR, Porsche GT2 and GTR wins comparo at track??????
Yes the fastest - ACR came in third. Z06 came last although it cornered second only to the Viper. The Porsche GT2 was really slow and didn't pull much into the corners compared to the North american iron. The slowest, heaviest and worst cornering Nissan GTR came in first ... I don't know why ... vette came in last???? They're doing comparo tests at the track so that the slowest car wins again??? Nonsense, if you're testing street machines that aren't allowed past 60mph then the 0-60 time makes a small difference, but when you're testing exotic streetable race cars top speed and high speed cornerning should be the criteria and the winner (ACR, of course) should win the competition. Weirdness this time was the Vette was too old and "too nice" ... that's why it lost. The Nissan maybe won only because it's an all new model??? Garbage Ted

Re: No no no video ZR2&Nissan
They will always find a way to weasle out of the Viper being the winner. Youd think, when doing a all preformance shootout, the Viper, which blew them all away, couldnt possibly lose; but car and Driver always find a way! Im not sure under which circumstances the GTR won? It was the best...uhhh.... confidence inspirer(?) They just make up the circumstances based on which car they want to win

Re: No no no video ZR2&Nissan
Stupid mags. Its all out performance test and there was no serious competition for the ACR but then they say its a serious crowd so it comes in 3rd. WTH....Couldnt they get a live body to narrate the video? Guy has all the enthusiasm of a can of paint.

Re: No no no video ZR2&Nissan
I noticed all the car mag seem to conveniently leave out the ACR's run at the Ring. F-em. HOW many nissan/Infiniti ads are there in the mag? Where are the mention that GTR's are obliterating their transmission after a couple of warranty-cancelling use of their celebrated launch control?
Thank God American cars aren't so delicate.

Re: No no no video ZR2&Nissan
It sounded like they couldn't handle driving the viper.

I think they used Acorn to find him as a qualified driver and car commentator....

Re: No no no video ZR2&Nissan
If the new Accord were tested, it would have come in second.

Re: No no no video ZR2&Nissan
Couldn't drive the Viper? You mean those young Kia and Cobalt drivers had trouble driving without nannies other than ABS?
Perhaps they weren't comfy without diapers, and filled their pants? LMAO Ted
