MANY MANY more Corvette ZR1 killers on their way

Everyone knows that the Viper ACR and GTR Spec-V have already been released and they've both bested the ZR1 at the Nurburgring (The Viper officially and the Spec-V unoficially). There are MANY MANY more ZR1 killers on the way though. The Audi R8 V-10, The Lexus LF-A, The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670(like the Spec- V version of the Murcielago),

Ofcourse there are cars for a long time ago that are now antique technology like the Enzo Ferrari, Maserati MC12, Pagani Zonda F, etc.

Hell, the fact is that there are many modded GTIs, STIs, EVOs, RX-7s, etc that would CRUSH a ZR1 at the ring, or at the drag strip for 1/2 or 1/3rd the price. This Supra is the FASTEST STREET LEGAL CAR ON THE CONTINENT at the present time with a top speed of >285 mph.

Everyone knows that, but it's not a production, or even a street legal car.

It was a little hilarious to see that little parachute open behind it ... as if that was going to do the job . Isnt 763 mph beyond the sound barrier ?

You don't open a chute when supersionic. Cd when supersonic is about

3x what it is subsonic. It slows down very quickly like a fighter jet under flame out conditions. So parachute isn't deployed until going much slower than supersonic 600mph.

600mph air brakes are the favoured way to lose speed quickly.The defintion of quickly being in excess of -2.5G.

If you listen closely, I believe his crew was saying he was at about 550 or so when the chute opened.
