I'm willing to bet it would post an amazing time, despite its relatively low top speed. The Atom has exceptional lateral acceleration, and it's openness allows better visibility of the full road, which helps you to hit every apex. It's one really sticky car.

It wasn't made to handle turns. That's the reality. And that is why the Veyron cannot run the 'ring in under 7 minutes. The Veyron is incredible in a straight line, and almost no other car can go 240 miles per hour. But no car AT ALL can hit 240 miles per hour in the Nürburgring. There are other factors besides power that take place in racing. Downforce, drag, tire traction, weight, balance, camber, height, spring, braking, tire tread type, rubber compound, etc., all affect the car and its ability. In the case of the Veyron, like I said before, they went for top speed. In order to go for top speed, you have to reduce drag and friction, which in turn reduces cornering ability. So while the Veyron will absolutely leave the ZR1 in the dust on a drag strip and a in a high speed ring, it just doesn't handle the turns as well as the ZR1, the ACR and even the GT-R. The ACR even has a lower top speed than any of the others, but because they focused on handling, it walked all over the other cars in the 'ring. Personally, I respect all of these cars. The GT-R is truly an amazing feat of engineering, and I really like it. If I could, I'd probably buy one. The ACR is absolutely amazing in its simplicity and its brashness. It's a brute force monster, and I love it. The ZR1 is smooth and quick, and is a great car. I personally don't like the ZR1 myself, but that's my taste. However, I respect it as it is an amazing car nonetheless. The Veyron is absolutely stunning and beautiful to me, from interior to exterior to sound to everything. If I could have one, I definitely would. All are great cars, and all are great at what they do. Like I said, Veyron will kick @$$ in a high speed track, but it can’t handle the turns.

The original 1990 ZR-1 with the Mercury Marine/Lotus engineered LT5 375-hp engine and current 505-hp Z06 is ALREADY faster than the GT-R, without any launch control aids that shread trannies inorder to produce fictional media numbers.

BurgerKing2009, go drive your little rusty Sentra with GT-R self adhesive stickers right off the edge of a cliff, provided if you can even get your learner's permit tomorrow. While you're at it you flaming homo boy, go jerk off to Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in your 3 Fag 3 Furious dvd movie.

GT-R Skyline for starters, Dodge Viper ACR, Bugatti Veyron will make a ZR1 its standing still from 0-60, then the 1/4 mile, and then like its going in REVERSE after that., Soon the Lexus LF-A will beat the ZR-1, Honda next gen NSX will kill it, Mercedes McClaren, And I''d be willing to bet the Next Generation Ford Mustang GT 500 will smoke the Next iteration of Corvette ZR-1 as well!

He is a great world class driver who drives 4wheel drive cars all the time, and wins too. If he can't beat or equal the claimed tomes for the car, then we'll know that the nissan people are all a bunch of lying idiots and everybody can stop bithchin. i think that to prove its racing supremacy, the gtr should have to participate in le mans or some other

If that four mile world class track wont take off the limiter in the car's own country then i'd say that the gt-r has so many systems that the nissan people lost count of them all and were too lazy to make sure it was there. hey jsurfer@ 6/17 5:31

First off SoCalFiveO the GT-R can beat the ZR-1 in 0-60 and barely gets nipped in the 1/4. However. ok - SoCalFive0 the "Factory" base model GT-R V SPEC outran the ZR-1 not only in 0-60 of course but also outran the ZR-1 in the 1/4 mi. So what part of Stock GT-R don't you get beating your POS Corvette. . First off SoCalFiveO the GT-R can beat the ZR-1 in 0-60 and barely gets nipped in the 1/4.

ZR-1 factory/ GT-R600 NOT so i mean your telling me you have to dump extra money into that piece of shit to make it beat the ZR-1. INTRODUCING THE HENNESSY ZR-1 PUSHING 705HP AND 712 LB. FT OF TORQUE A 193 mph standing mile MODDED GTR is impressive, but a 196 mph standing mile ZR1 isnt. Do you even have a clue the amount of wind resistance there is at those speeds? The GTR had 700 HP versus the vettes 705 HP. To put it in idiot terms, the ZR1 is significantly more aerodynamic and could match the GTR's top speed with much less power. This test done between to stock ones is a joke, the ZR1 is over 20 mph faster at the mile (162 vs 185). but dude you have to the look the GT-R600 is not a factory car the ZR-1 is so its unfair already. look it up on youtube ZR-1 vs. GT-R and they will tell you hennessy also got ahold of the ZR-1 so i mean you want to play like that just wait and see what the Hennessy ZR-1 does to that piece of **** GT-R. you watch the youtube video ZR-1 vs. GT-R vs. Porsche vs. Ferrari. the ferrari and chevy dominate the **** out of the porsche and GT-R. numbers dont lie.
