Radical SR8 does I think, not REALLY a production car though!

EmeFan March 14, 2010 at 2:05 AM

ich mein, be happy mit deinem scheiss peugeot.. selbst chevrolet hat mit dem spark n gscheites auto für wenig geld im angebot. bei den euro-marken (ausser dacia) sieht man nix in dem sinne (neuwagenbereich)…

EmeFan March 14, 2010 at 2:49 AM

weil du für den scheiss namen zahlst!
das is bei JEDER scheiss euro-marke so… die ferrari-motoren sind fürn arsch zB…. einfach nur weil sie sich “premium-marken” nennen

und die zr1 is alles andere als ein “crappy build”… da wurde nur das notwendigste verwendet, was ein sportwagen wirklich brauch.
ich mein, schön, kauf dir n scheiss porsche 911er, und stfu

und yes, i know, i shouldnt feed the troll but meh

If I buy a 200k dollar car, it must be perfect!!

The ZR1 is crapy build, sorra but it is the reality! Ask yourself why no euopean buy this car and why it is so cheap!

druide106 March 14, 2010 at 3:16 AM

I would also like to add, Jim Mero has balls of steel.

jackdmaddox March 14, 2010 at 6:54 AM

Honestly yes I do spend a massive amount of time enjoying a quality European interior. Regardless, this is a ridiculously impressive mechanical achievement and the ZR1 is a brilliant car. But would I ever buy one when I get the money? No I wouldn’t. Mainly because the amount of time spent on the street enjoying a fine crafted European interior far outweighs the difference in car ability on the track considering the amount of time I get on it. The question is why not just make it a little nicer?

EmeFan March 14, 2010 at 7:32 AM

if you guys call cars like the radical or the gumpert a “mass production car” or a daily driver, than you are just plain stupid.
and still, if you are like… OMG INTERIOR CHEAP PLASTIC UUUUGH.
So freakin what?! do you buy a car to look @ the interior while driving, or to look at the damn street?!
i’m not hatin on porsche, really, its just because… its got old, and every porsche-fag’s like: uuuuh, they r used track-fuel/tires, that test was nonsence.
imo thats just a bs-excuse

Thanks for not using profanity this time.

Personal opinion of the Viper and Vette ZR1: They’re both overpriced and over hyped. I’d rather have an ’02 Firebird.

VIPER ACR IS KING!!!

just facts, no bull!!

AmericanPride42 March 14, 2010 at 9:29 AM

Is that kind of language really necessary?

AmericanPride42 March 14, 2010 at 10:16 AM

I want that guys’ job!

youIance29 March 14, 2010 at 11:13 AM

ALWAYS REMEMBER, VIPER ACR IS KING!!!

memorize it and fuck off!!!

MarshallTK March 14, 2010 at 11:37 AM

This car is scary, the rear end is so nervous.

ryanandrewmartin March 14, 2010 at 12:24 PM

I know that deep down inside that you’re clearly retarded. Comparing BMW to Infiniti? Hahahahaha! Please tell me you’re 16. At least have an excuse for your stupidity.

youlance29 March 14, 2010 at 12:58 PM

ALWAYS REMEMBER, ZR1 IS KING!!!!!

I’m not talking about Nurburgring times, I’m talking about FAIR comparisons done head to head on the same day by the same drivers by an impartial reviewer. And in those cases, the ZR1 usually wins by over a second per lap. 5 seconds per lap in the case of Leguna Seca.
