Corvette ZR1 Nurburgring


Late last month, Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge J. Juechter revealed that a bone-stock Corvette ZR1 supercar driven by a development engineer had lapped the Nurburgring Nordschliefe in an astonishing 7:26.4.

This earth-shattering time betters the Nissan GT-R's much-vaunted best time of 7 minutes and 29 seconds by some three seconds and has given General Motors the bragging rights in the supercar world for the time being.





An in-car video was promised for the week of July 7 and true to his word, the clip has now made its way online so click on the video clip to watch the ZR1's super quick run around the 'Ring.

VIDEO: Cadillac CTS-V

Cadillac CTS-V


There was a time when American muscle cars could only go fast in a straight-line but that isn't the case anymore with cars such as the Corvette ZR1 and Z06 proving that they can attack the twisties with equal amounts of prowess as they can tear up a drag-strip.

The upcoming Cadillac CTS-V high-performance sedan lends further credibility to these theories as it is put through its paces around the Milford racetrack in the US.




With power and torque rated at 415 kW and 747 Nm respectively, we already know the Cadillac CTS-V is a very capable piece of machinery in a straight-line (0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds; quarter-mile in 12 seconds) but in this video, we can see it attack corners with equally alarming speeds.

The Germans should be worried. Very worried.
