Wow great race! Hanging with a modded ZR1 from a roll isn't easy

A car as light and as powerful as the ZR1 says a lot about your car hanging with it. Can't wait to get into aftermarket turbos.

Ok, I'll be the d*ck and say that I'm still disappointed by our car's lack of response to mods. I'd expect a turbo upgrade plus mods to do better against a minimally modded ZR-1.

I hear ya. Trying to mod this platform has turned me off of MB/AMG, maybe for good. It's so bad I even went to look at the CTS-Vs last week.

im pretty much sold on the new audi RS3 after seeing the latest gen apr golf and iroz motorsports golf battling back and forth the past couple weekends, ultimatley pushing it to 9.5 @146 with full interior

once apr and iroz get to the RS3 it will be even faster especially on iroz bigger IMS850/1000 turbo kits (the 9.5 run was on their smaller IMS780 kit)

I have seen stock ZR1s trap 130+mph at MIR in cool air. And I have seen pulley, tune, exhaust modded ZR1s trap 140+mph in good air. In fact I was at MIR the day this one ran at a track rental:

I know what ZR1s are capable of under perfect conditions but comparing a 9 second car to this one on this run ain't happening. Imo, this one would need a driver mod, tires, prepped track, and perfect air to break out of the mid 10s.

the zr1 in the vid cs e63 is just upper pulley/headers /intake and cooling,, that level mods are running 10.5/134-138 ... the 9.81 sec link you posted was the WR (for a while) lingenfelter ZR1 test car with upper+lower pulley, ported S/C+ larger S/c inlet, larger TB and 2.66 Z06 1st gear swap and was at 740 whp, so not really fair comparison to what the car in the vid was

yeah the progress the vw MK7r and audi 07K have been making in the tuning market in the past few years is crazy! mid 9's /146 traps and 188 in 1/2 mile for full interior daily drivers is just insane and even more insane is how much cheaper their tuning market is

I wasn't saying that the car in the video was capable of 145+mph trap speeds like the car on drag times. But I wouldn't be surprised if the car in the video (with ideal conditions and driver) could approach a 140 mph trap speed. I probably should have clarified my remarks before posting the link.

Would love an audi RS3, but much smaller size car than an E/CLS, cant fit people in the back.

Does audi not have a bigger size car capable of similar performance?

the RS3 is not as small as it seems... I rode in my friends S3 (basically same size as RS3) a few weeks back and i thought it was gonna be tiny but it wasnt that bad (I'm 6'2)... felt about as spacious as my W204 C63 did... definitely not a car you want to take 6 people on a road trip in but for daily driver it would be fine for me

but if RS3 is too small for you then the new S4 is a little bigger, and the new porsche 2.9T motor its getting should be a lot more tunable than the previous 3.0 s/c motor

you can see at around the 10 min mark of this vid the reviewer sitting in the back seat... looks like a normal size guy and seems to have decent space for such a smaller/lighter car
