Corvette ZR1 vs Porsche 911 GT2

The race between Germany and America for super car supremacy still continues with modern sports cars such as Corvette ZR1 and Porsche 911 GT2. The Corvette and Porsche for years have had utmost rivalry between their sports car models.

The Corvette uses a bigger and much bolder viewpoint when it comes to performance by utilizing the laws of displacement. The Porsche is designed for a curvy track while the Corvette is design for NASCAR like conditions, so which one will win the one mile drag?  Let's take a look at the specifications first!
