After a long wait, the stig is going to take the ZR-1 around the track.
How do you think it will do?

I think it will overachieve and I am not sure it will beat the R8 V10 but it will be close.

Have really been looking forward to this segment since it was allegedly being shown
in series 13. Jeremy really enjoyed the ZR1 in the Bonneville salt flats episode. I
I hope that affair isn’t over just yet. Hmmm. birkenstocks and an American flag?
Wonder if he’ll have to “wear them for a bet” if the ZR1 wins? Side note, birkies have been
replaced by Rainbow flip flops. At least where I live. <VBG> -jmw

So put your money down to buy a ZR-1 then.

I wouldn’t say that it smoked it because the it has 122hp more than the audi. Like jeremy said it has as much power as an enzo so why wasn’t it faster?
