Jax the racing trim viper got eaten for breakfast, like many other high performance cars (zonda, cgt...) before. the hybrid version of the gumpert attended in the 24h of nuerburgring, that should eliminate your endurance argument. stop crying and life with it

Oh, I agree. No doubt. But, I concur only based on the fact of what I would call a normal road course. Willow Springs, Infineon, Sebring, etc. Things that take a minute to a minute and a half to lap, yeah seconds count to an extreme amount. But on a course that takes on average damn near 9 minutes to lap in a "normal car", I'd say seconds when put next to 7 MINUTES and 11 seconds, is but a small detail. I just think Gumpert needs to get off their high horse and realize guys here in America are making the cars just as "badass", for a quarter the cost.

trust me that things turbo's reached their climax and were steady flowing, they dont boost that much and 6 min in it wasn't showing any signs of fatigue.One hell of a lap!!!

Edit on 3AM comment previous, the ZR1 could also suffer from heat soak, I suppose. Go go N/A Viper.

Not to mention this is ONE lap time, I wonder how that bi-turbo motor versus a Naturally aspirated machine like the two I stated would do in a mild endurance race. (10 laps?) Hope the intercooling system is up to snuff. Or hot air is headed your way! Part of me hopes it is... I mean it better be for 400g's. Sheesh.

I understand the Gumpert fanboys will flame this, but idc. I'll take a 90~110k Bowtie or Viper anyday, and take the 290-310k I saved and buy more toys, while only being SECONDS slower. Plus, where the hell could you take that thing aside from your garage, the highway, and back. Anything but a main roadway is going to KILL the under carriage via speed bumps, etc. Shit, throw another 5 grand in the viper for some aggressive Bolt-on's and tuning, and uh oh, you're faster.

It may be a street car, but I would rather drive many many other cars on the street. That car is uglier than a track machine. Most kit cars have better lines. It is fast, but I don't understand why you would buy one to drive around.
