Come on guys, have we not figured out that there is no meaning behind his words? He thinks R8s are faster than ZR1s....nuff said.

Some people are absolutely delusional and live in the past. Given equal drivers ZR1 will destroy many of the cars that he's believed to "perform" or "drive" better than the vette. Given a choice, I'd still pick the the other cars for overall package, but people need to give respect where it's due.

What, exactly, do you mean in regards to driveability? Yes, they're known to be a handful at the limit, but under normal driving conditions they've got very good road manners. I can personally attest to that, and virtually every review of every modern Corvette has said the same. Even the ZR1 and Z06 regularly got props for being so docile on the road, considering what they were capable of(though the Z06's stiffer suspension lost it some points in that area).

I'm sorry, but when I see posts like yours, I just see someone who doesn't really know what they're talking about. Like when you said a the Audi R8 and Porsche 911 GT3 were faster than a ZR1.

I usually don't care for Vettes either, but the new one looks sweet. Of course, take his criticism with a grain of salt - he's got a riced out Silvia as his avatar. Oh, drifting is so 10 years ago....

Not an unabashed Vette fan but if you don't think Porsche's are built to a price point you really don't know what you are talking about.
