Where are the Ferraris?

Dont think ferrari would give them a car for the test

they switch the cars year to year too. a couple years ago they had the Boxster...but no 911. of course that was also the test where they said the Miata was a better driver's car than the ZR1

Lol

I think they actually put the '10 GT500 over the zr1

Moral victory I suppose. If I'm not mistaken they alluded to that victory in this years review.

Goes to show these reviews are highly subjective.

I was at a go kart place the other day. Handled awesome, 99% throttle almost all the time but doesn't mean it was better than my unruly gt500

In the Supercar realm that McClaren seems like a "BARGAIN" for the performance it puts up. Faster lap time than the Aventador which cost over $100k more and same 1/4 mile time. Plus it's rear wheel drive so you can slide it around unlike the all wheel drive Lambo

I think the zr1 is the supercar bargain, right along with the damn gtr.

I hate that thing but damn it's impressive.
