11 years later and this is still one of my favorite videos. Go ZR-1 🇺🇸.
Who wouldn't be happy with a zr1? The c6 in my opinion is one of GM's best chassis. People try to talk their shit but you can't argue with performance.
10 years on and still one of the best videos on this platform
at 3:03 the Corvette caught some air
that was awesome. wish it was me
That's crazy 😂
Yup, I saw that.... it was awesome.
3:03 when the Corvette "caught air"....that was dope!
I saw it ... but I don't believe it
Which car I would take? Obviously the Lambo. Then I would sell it and buy two corvette ZR1 one red and one black, 5 sport bikes, a $500k house with a huge ass garage, a snowmobile, a four wheeler, a side by side, a $5000 barbecue, a 2000hp diesel tractor and a 500hp v8 lawnmower. I would probably still have lots of money left after all this. Chevy did an awesome job with the corvette. A fraction of the price but yet its still faster than the Lambo. Of course the lambo is more composed, its built better and a lot more fancy, but its also got 15x the price tag. But both awesome cars! Fan of both!
ToxicReaper7 no you will not
ToxicReaper7 15 times the price tag ?? What ? About 2.5 -3 times the price
that was funny
Needed this laugh
@@caffey500 stupid kids he's talking about the SV going up in value getting the gated manual is even more rare which means the value jumps even more. The question is how does he get the lambo? he did say which car would i take tho. Plus your making fun of a 6 year old comment he commented on a 5 year old video at the time and you're doing this on a 11 year old video.
The question should've been could the Lamborghini keep up
LBigJake14 They should have switched it up and put the Vette in front for a while.
Kinda looks like he had to back off in the Vette a couple times so he wouldn't smack the Lambo up the ass. Had the road have been wider (As per American specs) he just might have been able to pass the Lambo.......Oh the horror!!
My observation exactly..... had there been a straightaway, it would have been interesting to observe...
Trade spots and I bet the ZR1 pulls a few seconds each lap! Because on the Nurburgring the ZR1 had a better time than the way to expensive LAMEborghini!
So what if the ZR1 has a better laptime at the nurburgring, Thats means nothing, We all no the ZR1 is faster, But judging from one lap is retarded and proves nothing.
For the price the Corvette is far superior in what you get dollar for dollar. To me it looked like the lambo was in the vetts way.
It was
that's what I was thinking
I like what he says at the end. "They go about what they do in completely different ways. And yet, I think they get there, or they reach the same result almost identically"
CORVETTE ZR1 is the real DRIVERS CAR, tha car for the REAL MEN...
That be a GTR ,please dont kid urself
Bench Mach2
GTR is no drivers car
@@AzaanPD I am talking about a real Drivers diverscar. Manual transmission, Big V8 in the front, long nose and only RWD. Like GOD ment how a car suppose to drive. GTR is the Benchmark because it is a Fast Computer on wheel and it is fast in Everything. But not a real drivers car. It is not dangerious enough. Even your mother could drive it.
Ersin Demirci
Yeah that’s what I mean. This Vette and the Viper were the last drivers cars, but now the C8 is another driving computer and the Viper is dead.
@@AzaanPD actually, C8 is mid-engined, RWD and a V8, it’s a drivers car but not as much as C6, but still, at least its not some boring computer
Iike GTR.
It's amazing how far the modern supercars have come in the last 10 years...Put a Pista/GT2RS/McLaren etc in there with these two now.
The name 'Max Venturi', Those glasses and Thriller Michael Jackson hairstyle with 1970s Italian fashion...He's like an 80s bad guy - and for Lambo's 'superhand' he takes some pretty shit lines through those corners
Why is it showing me a comment about Tyron Woodley?. When I hit reply then it shows me the comment you left on this ancient car video. UA-cam you strange.
It takes a stripped out track ready Lambo to go against a ZR1, And still loses on tracks, Certainly not a bad thing, But that ZR1 is damn impressive.
+Dre Ray In what track has the ZR1 ever beaten an SV?
Thats totally bs. No way is the next gen sv over 40secs faster...
...All of them actually, The ONLY track where a LP670 has ever beaten a ZR1, Is the TopGear track, And the ZR1 was driven in the wet, And the Lambo wasnt. So yeah, All of them, And there isnt even a track version of a Corvette.
@@dreray4077 THERE IS NOW! and it still beats them... hahah
Funny, completely different cars but look well together!
Wow, cool comparison! Both drivers seem to be able to wheel a car respectively too. I am partial to the Corvette myself, but that Lambo sounds amazing as well.
my fav 2 carbrands =) the new Vettes are not to be underestimated
Had to be alot of fun doing this video. I'm sure that much more happened behind the scenes than what we were shown. Thanks for posting this.
I will pick the ZR1
For what it's worth, on a track of course the lambo will handle better, it's AWD but it has that advantage and it has automatic transmission, even with those two huge advantages the vette still kept up, I think the vette is a better car with that being said.
... and the price tag says... hands down, Corvette wins.
Euro fans take note, your cars are awesome but not the best!
Vipers and Vettes, for the money... it's a no contest.
Great driving Steve 👍🏻
I paid for mine in full from a dealer. I wanted to have the build your engine experience but I couldn't due to scheduling purpose. I went to a dealer. I said I wanted a ZR1. I was taken to an office with an assistant manager. I had to make a few calls to confirm that I really had to finances to afford it. Once I proved it, I showed them the build sheet from the website and told them that I want every option on it. I paid for it in full ahead of time and picked it up 7 weeks later.
Murcielago 1 vs Aventador 0 who agree's
+250mph more than 26 years ago! Callaway Corvette Sledgehammer
Lamborghini blah blah
Absolutely amazing engineering of a Corvette!!!!!!
the guy doing the review explains it PERFECT."they go about what they do in completely different ways ,they reach the same result almost identical, fasinating". the big diff is cost.. Well done GM ZR1.
Ha ha ha! Vette=Lambo killer. The ZR1 is much harder to drive than the new ZO6 ZO7 let alone the Lamborghini with 30 more horsepower and all-wheel-drive . I can only imagine what kind of a spanking that Lambo would get from the new ZO6. I can smell the brand new Pilot Sport cup 2 tires!! Vette 1, Lamborghini none.
Ha...that Lamborghini isn't all that much...several times it looks like the Vette is about to run over it.....big deal...give me the Vette every time. PLUS you can drive into about a million chevy dealerships when it needs service.....try to find one for a Lamborghini.....remember the huge difference in price too. No comparison. One more thing.....that Brit isn't exactly a professional race car driver.
+SpeedyNeutrino172 At least the Lambo doesn't have a plastic boot...
+Bruno Miguel Why would that matter? Just means it's not as expensive to fix and you get lightness for a lot less price. Plus the stiffness of the body panels wouldn't do anything as the chassis is what deals with the twisting forces.
Bruno Miguel at least the zr1 doesn't sound like a screaming honda... and it doesn't catch flames.. I honestly think corvettes in general look way better than any European supercars... they put too many areo dynamics in them witch make them look like air planes too only look cool.. in my opinion the corvette looks 100% better
bryce lilly
I really love the ZR1 u know ? I like both
bryce lilly lambo sounds better than the vette plus lambo's design is more groundbreaking without all that aero.
Carbon fiber is now used on C6 ZR1 panels. The hood, front spoiler and roof panels are all made using carbon fiber composites. Carbon fiber panels are significantly stronger and lighter than SMC or press molded fiberglass panels. Carbon fiber has a greater tensile and compressive strength than fiberglass at a lower density resulting in stronger panels at lower weights.
That was a beautiful video... I really enjoyed it! Thanks!!!
Why do brits refer to the letter Z as Zed when the rest of the world pronounces it as Zee
anglovirtual He was asking a simple question. I would like to know the same thing. No reason to be a jerk. Seriously. For God-sake I hate the comments section of UA-cam because of people like you. Have some respect and grow up.
anglovirtual How is asking about a language barrier being ignorant? Not everyone speaks the same versions of the same language you know.
anglovirtual "zed" comes from the GREEK work "zeta" u uncultured twatwaffle, get off your high horse
JSLAK Thank you for a good answer.
i feel sorry for you if correcting peoples grammatical mistakes and sentence structure in a youtube comment argument is your highest concern. maybe you havent been using the internet long but people sometimes say "u" instead of "you". and i had to put greek in all capitals to emphasize it because theres no italicize option in youtube comments. and you cant even distinguish the difference between single sentence like i typed and an entire lecture? someones a little butthurt and im done typing cus this is boring me
Daniel harris called me a a vette fanboy. Its about knowing your shit, nd honestly I rather have the 670 one of my top 5 cars. Nd If I would of backed up the 670 ypu would of called me a lambo fanboy, therefore your comment is irrelevant. Just because a 100k car can beat anything from half a mil cars to 1.5 mill buggatti on a track...just quit being a hater I swear vette haters make themselves look , so low because yoi can tell they're mad
"The ZR1 is better behaved and handling is miles better than the Z06." Uhhhh... not according to every other automotive journalist I've ever seen, read or heard of. My cousin became QC Director at the Corvette plant in 2004 and we've been a "Corvette family" for many years before and since. I've owned both the C6 Z06 and ZR1 platforms (2007 Z06, 2013 ZR1 and recently bought a low-mileage 2010 Z06) and the Z06 is lighter and much more forgiving. Having substantially less power, it's also easier to put that power down. That's why both cars have very similar times on strips and tracks. The braking definitely goes to the ZR1 unless you have the Z07 package on your Z06. The ZR1 is a great car but the Z06 is a far superior platform to work with. There's a reason it's the preferred model for race teams (including the factory Corvette Racing team). Just my opinion. Cheers.
there's a lot of difference in the straight line, lol
corvette c6 Design best
UGLY c7 corvette
Highly agree and especially when it comes to the ZR1! The C7 ZR1 is a garish mess, looking like some kind of fast and furious nightmare. I run a shop that specializes in Vettes and after 20yrs of working on and driving dang near every version ever made, I would still pick the C6 ZR1 over all the rest.
Let me put some irony in this, I tested both of these cars randomly on the Indianapolis Road Coarse in Gran Turismo 5, their times are tenths of seconds from eachother. The Vette actually pulls a bit harder than the Lambo, but the lambo is more stable and the LP670 does in fact, as Jeremy Clarkson stated have "a suprising amount of understeer"
You finally learned how to spell quality, performance, and prestige. Good job, I'm proud. There is something in your head.
It's pronounced Z-R-1 not "Zed r 1" Literally the MOST annoying thing about English accents is when they morph pronunciations like that.
Lol. The car is called a z r 1. Not a zee r 1 or zed r 1. English pronounce the letter z like it was intended to be said. It has nothing to do with accents. Either way epic car :)
gwood5 but.. he said "zed". and he's english. so either he has a weird accent or you're lying to me.
What i was getting at is english people say the letter z as zed. Its not an accent thing. This how the english intended to say the letter many years ago. For some reason in the usa you guys decided to say it differently. Us english can quite happily say zee but why would we say that when the letter z was intended to be said like 'zed' . So if we see a car called Z R 1 we will call it a zed r 1. Not being a dick though mate :)
gwood5 Oh, I understand now. And I didn't mean to sound like a dick, I was just really confused.
The fuck? And Im over here trying to pronounce the letter Z. Now im confused. I knew i should never learn a second language.
I'd take the lovely and dreamy Lambo Murcielago any day any time over the rather ordinary and not exotic enough looking Corvette. I mean, looking at the Murci is like poetry in motion,pursposeful, done just right.
hector69ize gay much lol
That zr1 cought some air!!
The ZR1 vs SV makes one of the best duets I've ever heard.
Lambo has made some beautiful cars....this isn't one of them.
Perhaps you should try and wipe clean your PC monitor and maybe just maybe see a whole lot clearer. The Murcielago SV is one of the best looking exotics Lamborghini has ever created. No word of a lie here.
hector69ize xD
I was shocked reading this comment...For me, the Murcie SV is one of the prettiest lambos (or cars overall), head to head with the Diablo GT which are both just slightly behind the Miura SV.
***** that's the problem.. if a car looks ''cute'' it's for girls
gdb5444 nn
This is so biased, of course the vette could keep up with the lambo because the lambo was in front. The lambo driver had to judge turns and corners and he really couldnt push it to the limit. All the vette driver had to do was follow the lambo and keep similar speed. If the tables were turned im sure the lambo would keep up with the vette. Also the vette has horrible traction so im pretty sure with the lambos 4wd it would be able to puul turns faster.
Don't care what anybody says... you simply can't beat the sound or the awesomeness of a big V12.
Both of these drivers have alot of skill.
"The guy" in the lambo is one of Lamborghini's test drivers, he'll know it better than anyone
Corvette is a MANUAL TRANSMISSION and half the price, and tried to pass the AWD Lamborghini. Too cool!
This is a great fun way to stack two cars up agaisnt one nother. It looks/feels far more like the road than a the racetrack, and is more entertaining. Id like more of this with better sounds/cameras etc. Good stuff
I love when they say Zed R1 xD cracks me up everytime ad makes me wish I had something other than a southern accent
I can just imagine what's going through Max's head: "Waht da hell eez-a deese? An ahgly Amehreekan-a carrrrrrrrr-a keepink ahp weet-a my Lahmbor-a-geenee??? Deese eez an out-a-rage!!!" XD
I love how he doesn't mention the price of these cars. Bang for the buck, the Corvette has the Lambo beat...dollar for dollar.
It's not the same thing. It's a proper supercar or some people call it a hypercar.
It is beautiful, a piece of art in it's own right. It doesn't only go fast but is one of the best looking things on earth right now.
Apples to Oranges, Lambo all wheel drive, ZR1 RWD, $450,000 for Lambo, $112,000 for ZR1 and the car still staying up with this beast of SV. Not a fair race but I am impressed with ZR1.
HA. There is a few ZR1 guys in Florida that got a new ZR1 recently for a mere 99K dollars for ZR1's that were left over after the arrival of the new 2014 Vettes and some of this guys challenge (bet) Lambo owners for a race and some of this Lambo owners were actually very scare and don't want to bet nothing. HA. Seen this scenario in south Florida recently several times. HA.
It is my next car, I've had Porsches, and 2 Z06s but man looking forward to a nice low mile 2010 or 2011. Should be in the $80's or $70K by then, SWEET car.
And here you reinforce my original statement.
This V12 is a Lamborghini in house design and can trace its roots to the 1960s.
The design is all Italian and it is built in Italy by Italians.
I think they're both pretty amazing cars. I'm an american so there's nothing like getting behind the wheel of a Corvette and feeling all that heritage flow through your veins. Never driven a Lamborghini so I can't really say, but I'd love too!
this reminds me so much of the Gt5 days ... time flies
I lol'd when the vette jumped into the air lol.
The ZR1 at 100K dollars is a bargain.We tested a ZR1 back in July with a 0-60 in 3.772 and a Lamborghini Murcielago at 3.889 and the quarter of a mile at 11.449 for the ZR1 and 11.553 for the Murcielago, both test by a professional race driver from the state of Georgia , here in Florida in Miami. However,what I see with the Lambo is a "scandal" when you go out with that machine.Even with the super looks of the ZR1,most people associates the ZR1 as simply a Corvette.You never see a Lambo.
thats why its your dream car even with the flaws it still captures your imagination and i would love to drive either of these because they're both 10 times the car that i have ever driven or ever will drive
Cars like the GT2 RS and Nissan GT-R posted just as fast times around the ring, on tyres you can use everyday on the street. The Vipers and Vettes which go around the ring use semi-slick tyres, that's why when you average Joe jumps into those cars on the basic tyres, they always end up going off the track/road.
I understand, but the ZR1 was not designed to appeal to people who need the best interior quality and stuff like that. It was designed to give the ultimate bang for buck.
Just because something is faster and cheaper doesn't mean it's better, cars are about so much more than speed, they're about passion and character. No point in comparing a Murcielago and a Corvette, The Vette is a fast car, but the Lambo is just special, the essence of a supercar.
This is VERY ironic...why..because in Gran Turismo 5 When I bought the LP670 I took it to the Daytona road coarse for a trail lap, and when I bought the ZR1 not too long after I took it to the same track...and they got the nearly the same time
i did research, the chassis of the C7 will be aluminium compared to the steel the C6 uses, but toyota chose to drop aluminium o the LFA project in order to save weight, so while they took a leap frward it was not that big
If you're comparing the ZR1 to such a "Plastic Tractor", that's even worse on your part.. Cause it's still kicking ass!
Half a mill vs. $138,000.......and the Lambo couldn't lose the 'vette. I LOVE it! I also love the way he referred to it as a "ZED-R-1". Gotta love the Britts. Ya' know.......the "windscreen", the "bonnet" and the "lump"......AKA, the winshield, the hood and the engine. LMAO!
I love the ZR1. Before you guys flame keep in mind the kind of build quality comes out of Europe. You get the whole package with the Murcielago, you get a great interior, you get an incredible V12, doors that go up, not to mention the thing is built to incredibly high standards and looks like a spaceship
The ZR1 is an incredible car, don't quote me but last time I checked corvettes outer body work is plastic. To me corvettes lack the "wow" factor that a Lamborghini offers.
the fact that he has to slow down multiple times to stop from passing the lambo says alot about the raw power of the corvette, i rather spend my money on the heart of the car than the name and the look
PEOPLE THAT HAS OWNED A CORVETTE OR A CAMARO IN THE PAST 15 YEARS SINCE THE COMING OF THE LS1 ENGINE, KNOWS VERY CLEAR HOW WONDERFUL SUPER MACHINE THOSE ARE AND I OWN TWO OF THEM FROM 2002, THE SS AND THE CORVETTE, BOTH WITH THE LS1 AND IS THE BEST MACHINE I EVER SEEN IN ...ANY CAR...SORRY, NOBODY WILL BRAINWASH ME...
Same driver the Vette would win hands down.
3:04 ZR1 is flying!!!
that is an awsome piece of ROAD/track... we need more of those places around the world or major cities.
The ZR-1 isn't just a well-made car; it's motoring art and technology of the higest degree. Let's not forget craftmanship, gentlemen: The Vette has sodium-filled intake valves, titanium connecting rods, and variable-valve timing. The Italian car has none of the above; it just has more pistons (and far cheaper technology). And while both are handcrafted, the Vette is handcrafted by techs in the US. Italian workers for Lamborghini? Not nearly as talented or as educated...
C'mon, anyone would kill just to have any of those cars. Both are fuckin' amazing.
You are correct, I apologize for the incorrect statement on the ZR1 not running the mono leaf design. Just looked it up; my mistake on that part. That still doesn't change that I personally don't care for the design but hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it right?
3:00 holy shit he got a lot of air
2:43 . that scratch from the dirt costs 5,000 euros in Lamborghini cosmetics LOL
good point :) i wasn't careful at typing .
thats the definition of brute force american muscle right there
Autocar should test the 2012 ZR1 and conduct this test again but with an Aventador. Would be very interesting.
Steve should have taken the lead and seen if the Lambo could keep up.
He was clearly faster in many sections and probably would have pulled away from the Lambo.
Theres a little button adjacently to the left of the a key. Please use it.
Corvette ... the only car from US !
Epic face of max venturi at 0.27 hahaha
For everyone who's saying the lambo is better in every way, keep in mind how much cheaper that corvette is, and it can still keep up with the SV. that's the whole point of corvettes, sure they don't have quilted leather on the inside or 7 gearbox settings, but they are balls to the wall fucking fast
if this was a Canyon duel you would've totally lost
To pick up someone to go get a coffee in the city on a warm summer day, I'd probably take the Lambo. On any other day and for any other occasion I could think of in 5 minutes, I'd take the ZR-1.
Getting bread rolls on a sunday morning: ZR-1.
Driving grandma to her dentist appointment: ZR-1.
Driving to grandma's funeral, after she died from a heart attack caused by a full throttle 2nd and 2rd gear pull: ZR-1.
Driving to the Chevy dealer to pick up a second ZR-1 in a different color, that I bought with my inheritance from grandma: ZR-1.
Being driven to my court appointment after getting my license revoked for driving 189 mph in a 50 zone: ZR-1.
Well, maybe the Lambos AWD would come in handy for a ski trip in the Alps, but if the roads are more or less clear; ZR-1 it is again.
And before u call me out again, I don't know if the lambo has "Peruvian leather cup holders" lol😝👻❕
@Msiverling16
I think you mean the LP670 SV. Get your figures right.
The SV specs are: 0-100kph - 3.2, 0-200kph - 9.7, 0-300kph - 29.7
ZR1 specs are: 0-100kph - 3.6, 0-200kph - 10.7, 0-300kph - 32.3
I'd say the Murcie wins.
Just saw that and scrolled down to see no comments lol
I get your point but America is also the largest market for companies like Farrari, Lambo, Porche, etc... we buy more of those cars than any other country. Just cause we make price point cars doesn't mean we are ignorant on what good cars are.
oops, i forgot to write it into the formula, the number is still correct.
130 football fields x 100 yards x 3 feet / 5280 x 60 seconds x 60 minutes
I haven't driven a SV or ZR1 but I had the chance to do laps with AWD and RWD front engine and I have to say RWD is far more fun and gratifying. It's so hard to make a mistake with AWD, it just doesn't feel like an honest driving car. If you do make a mistake it just tends to understeer.
I drove my buddy's 335xi BMW and thought that it was marvelous. You'll the only person that I spoke to that have negative reviews on BMW. I say that the Germans have the best engineering because they made the first car, created forced induction, and developed the Porsche 918 spyder. Now tell me who is the real engineers and why??
Volkswagen have put out a car called the XL1 and I am totally in love with it. I think it could be a world better in the way the beetle was. I love it not because its fast because it is not fast. Its just a fantastic machine in the same way Citroen DS, Concord and the SR71 were.
ZR1 is the only Corvette that doesn't run leaf springs so yes this Corvette handles better than the Lambo with 355 section tires. The highest performance Corvette with leaf springs is the Z06 and I believe even without the hp the Lambo would leave that for dead.
And the winner is the Rangie!
SIR...WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT RACE CARS OR PRIVATE CARS...THIS CAR FIGHT HERE IS ABOUT EUROPEAN CAR TECHNOLOGY VS AMERICAN CAR TECHNOLOGY...PERIOD
