Redneck vs. GTR

[Prince Valiant]

A couple yahoo's in a Hertz rental vette (not a z51 or z05) auto w/ economy gearing vs more performance oriented gearing...

My brain hurts from watching that......:stare

Why did I watch that.

Must be the slowest GTR on the planet along with a guy that hasn't a clue. I've been in DR. Jack's GTR (tune, mid-pipe) on a few occasions and it's fairly fast. The launches are a little inconsistant but under the right conditions it leaves hard enough to make my lower back hurt and it pulls hard right on up the RPM band.

Actually, that vid may have been staged. Watch it again after they make the turn around. The GTR is in front of the Vette and mats it again. The guy driving the Vette floors it and acts like he's going to run the GTR down. GTR runs away and hides, as a car with a 190+ mph top speed should... ;)

That about sums it up.

The ZR1's quarter mile time is like 11.2 and the GTR's is 11.6.

There's no way a auto regular Vette will keep up with a GTR in the quarter if the driver is trying.
