Well the answer is posted below, but PLEASE try to guess before you watch the answer.







































































Absolutely stunning no question. And FYI... my guess was something Italian V-12.

Maybe in a "straight line" maybe... as you could clearly see the pursuit vehicle handles as if it is on RAILS!

i guessed it was a Ferrari...nothing like the sweet sound of a roaring V12 engine. Sound aside, the ZR-1 is one to contend with no question.

It sounded like a V-12 but not a Ferrari V-12. I guessed LP640. It took me a while to be sure of that guess. Man that ZR-1 caught some air at the end of that video!

I guessed *********************. Close enough. The Zr1 is sick. Almost impossible to beat the performance for the price.

(your guess taken out - bitkahuna)

i guessed wrong, but man, those videos were GREAT!!!! i've just changed my shorts.

the zr1 was REALLY twitchy / less planted coming out of corners. seemed like the suspension was too soft and not enough weight at the back. and the front car had another huge advantage.

The ZR1 or as they say a ZEDR1, is the first american car that europeans respect and can hang on with anything built in Europe, truly world class.
