It's not a easy car to drive and your average driver doesn't know what to do with that much HP. Electronic driver's aids can help, but that doesn't stop people from turning them off or just taking the car too far for the conditions. PS. drat the ZR1 is scary fast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObFBtVbe-ug

Electronic driver's aids can help, but that doesn't stop people from turning them off or just taking the car too far for the conditions. It looks like the ZR1 was only bested on the Laguna Seca circuit by 2 versions of the Dodge Viper during motortrend's testing there. It out-did such cars as the Porsche 911 GT3 (2007), the Audi R8 and the Nissan GT-R. http://www.motortrend.com/features/laguna_lap/ Also, after reading that wiki article, it seems like its almost disingenuous to call the corvette's springs "leaf springs". While that's technically what they are, they're transversely mounted, they're made out of composites like a loving recurve bow and they also serve as an anti-roll bar. They way 1/2 as much as coil-overs. Its actually pretty badass.

I've seen both a ZR1 and a Viper ACR go around Laguna with good drivers behind the wheel. They are insanely fast and make really good noises. That being said, I think the viper looks and sounds better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BCkSPjThiQ

Whoever designed the car lost a loved on to a TVR and is returning the favor. Actually the rear door looks to be frameless, so they can just use different sheetmetal on one side. Muffinpox fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Aug 24, 2011 |

It's generally the people who buy them with bad driving habits. When you have a lot of power and wide, sticky tires it's not hard to put yourself in an unrecoverable situation. On the track you go both feet in and skid to a stop, on the street you hit something.

Abruptly lifting off the throttle when a car is already sliding is about the worst thing you can do.
