what i did notice though was how hard he throws it into each corner. he even almost loses it on one turn. if you notice the GTR was careful not to touch any curbs. that tells me 3 things. 1. the zr1 has very good suspension tuning, not too stiff and forgiving enough to handle fast off ramps with rough road. 2. the gtr is the opposite. since the limit of the tires/suspension/awd setup is probably very thin, the car may be unpredictable which explains why the test driver himself didn't push the car too hard. 3. both cars are capable of better times i think.

not to turn this into a pissing match, but these cars are direct competitors so there is no reason to not use the other as the benchmark for the other
oh, I didnt know they did that with every test. Seems kinda silly though. A true test would be from a standing start, and using the start/finish line. They use that location because it cuts the lap time down a good 20 seconds. The real start/finish line is about 3/4 of the way down that long straight away.
