*BREAKING NEWS* 2025 CORVETTE ZR1 DESTROYS FERRARI 296 GTB! (CHEAP VS EXPENSIVE SUPER CARS)

hey everybody how's it going welcome back to the channel we a great day today we need to go over the exact comparison between the brand new Corvette ZR1 versus the Ferrari 296 GTB we have learned so much today about how fast this new Corvette ZR1 really is and when you consider the competition well what is the competition it seems like this car is so high performing as is what is the Benchmark like what are they going after the cars that are currently on the market they don't have 1,000 horsepower they don't have the same uh level of downforce for example as the new Corvette ZR1 nor do they cost as uh cheap well we we don't know how much it's going to cost I hope it's going to be cheap I think it's going to be less than the exotic cars because well it's not an exotic car it's an American car built off a mass production line therefore with the economies of scale it is safe to assume they're able to produce these cars at a cheaper price and pass on those savings to us consumers in the end of the day therefore it's also why you see Corvette Stingray as a $70,000 car or you see the Z06 starting at a little bit over $100,000 if you had the same type of performance and all the same technology out of a European car it would cost so much more money because they inherently take longer to build when they're handb built now when we equate this new Corvette ZR1 to the competition it's safe to already assume that this vehicle is unbelievably fast in the previous video I talked about how it's faster down the quarter mile than a $600,000 Lamborghini rala which is crazy $600,000 V12 hypercar super car I don't know it blurs the line between both doesn't it anyways that V12 Hy equipped all-wheel drive Italian Raging Bull goes down the quarter mile in the upper 9es yet this track Focus ztk equipped which ztk refers to the high down fors track ready specification you can buy from Chevrolet of this new Corvette ZR1 anyways usually these track Focus versions aren't faster than the base car accelerating because they have more drag yet it is it does a 9 .6 second4 Mile in this video I want to try to equate this car to the closest competitor and that closest competitor is inherently a hybrid it's going to have to be I think the Ferrari 296 GTB now if you haven't seen my track test of the Ferrari 296 GTB make sure to check it out I went all the way out to Florida at Homestead Miami and I drove that superar on the racetrack it was a lot of fun yet the entire experience was different than what I've seen in the past from Ferrari I've Had The Unbelievable opportunity here in this channel to test out so many different new cars even to the track Focus supercars I did drive cars like the 488 Pista and other modern Ferraris on the racetrack yet when I got behind the wheel of this Ferrari 296 GTB it didn't feel like that familiar familiar Ferrari to me it felt bit different it felt technologically advanced it's got so many uh Advanced software systems intuitively plugged into that display giving you all these readouts for the hybrid technology what kind of power output you're getting what is your regen at there's so many crazy things just embedded inside this next generation of supercars that when you look at an IC or internal combustion in engine vehicle like this new Corvette ZR1 the ZR1 just looks more straightforward doesn't it it really does I did notice that the Ferrari was incredibly fast but the way it picks up speed it's not like a usual twin turbocharged uh equ vehicle yes it's got a six-cylinder now instead of the V8s of the past that were turbocharged from Ferrari when you look at that setup you would think okay you're probably going to get crazy turbo lag I didn't really notice turbo lag do you know why well on the track with the h hybrid system you've got different settings that you can turn on and in qualifying mode or the most aggressive settings for the hybrid system it Tunes in the power application allowing you to get on Power and not face any of those detriment from a turbocharged vehicle because a turbocharged vehicle needs to take a little bit to pick up the Boost and the power with a hybrid you're able to tune in that output for the e-motors within the dip of the power curve where there's not enough boost and power already kicked up by that forced induction system I hope you're following along I know I'm going into the deep technical stuff I love talking about all this stuff I really do let me talk about how this equates to the Corvette Z1 and which one is actually faster but before I do that I want to give a quick plug to the shop over here in the speed Phenom Film Studio at our podcast desk this is where we host a lot of our uh just informational videos where we go over the latest things in the news

you all the upgrades that you would want for the track such as a lighter build you can get carbon fiber Wheels there's a lot of nice stuff you can get with the aceto furiano package now they were able to get the 296 GTB to go down the quarter mile in 9.6 seconds what does that sound like well that sounds a lot like the ztk equipped Corvette ZR1 also they were able to get this Ferrari to go 0 to 60 in two .3 seconds also the same number that Chevrolet has stated for their Corvette ZR1 it looks like this 296 GTB is exactly as fast as the 1,64 horsepower Corvette 01 How could an 800 horsepower Ferrari be just as fast as a 1,60 horsepower Corvette if we break that down further it actually makes sense because this Ferrari is a hybrid and being a hybrid you have that instant power and torque down low in the RPM like I was talking about in the beginning of this video which is why I was talking about it in the beginning of this video you have that so if we run the numbers you can try to find out which one really accelerates faster the answer I have the answer I prepared for all of you in this video is pretty striking it looks like this 296 GTB actually has a slower trap speed than the Corvette the quarter mile trap speed for the Ferrari 296 GTB is 149.6 MIL hour which means this Corvette ZR1 without all the arrow is faster with the Trap speed of 152 mph I know you're thinking well Austin the the Z1 without all the arrow also doesn't have the stickier tires therefore it doesn't count as still slower because the quarter mile time is uh 9.7 seconds yes yes you're right but even the ztk car which is faster down the4 mile at 9.6 seconds has a faster trap speed of 150 mph and by the way if you heard that startup There's an actual gt2rs Porsche outside of the shop uh you just started up and I think he's driving back to his house so uh there's always some fun stuff always uh lurking around the shop anyways what is the summary here in this video the summary is it looks like this new Corvette ZR1 without using any hybrid technology is faster accelerating than the Ferrari 296 GTB please let me know your thoughts in the comment section down below of this quick breakdown the next thing we need to find out is how fast this new Corvette is on the track I can't wait to compare it on the track against the Ferrari 296 GTB uh it's a really fun Ferrari on track it's got a very quick steering rack it gets up there really fast on top speeds for different straightaways I remember going onto the oval at Homestead Miami and it was just picking up quick quick but the problem is with these hybrid cars that you can't just keep going with that Ferrari lap after lap nonstop you're draining the battery so you could um choose between wanting to give you the max amount of electric power or consistent amount of power which would probably last the entire track session you don't have those compromises with dedicated gas powerered vehicles so keep that in mind is that another win for the Corvette finally I do want to say one last thing this new Ferrari does have a lower top speed than the Corvette the Corvette goes uh to 233 mph the top speed for the Ferrari is 205 mph so it's a little bit above 200 mph anyways hope you guys enjoyed watching this video if you did please hit the like button it really has helped me out and subscribe much for great content
