Default Corvette intercooled twin turbo - small video

Hi Guys, I Hope you enjoy this quick video of the C6 twin turbo Corvette, let me know your thoughts. The roads were busy with traffic so I had to keep the speeds to a sensible limit.

Definitely redo the video and aim it outside so we can see the speed. Also, try and find a stretch of road where you can run it through the gears, he never really gets on it in third gear. It would be nice to see it blast down the 1/4 mile.

Nice, how is it to drive an LHD car in on the left side of the road? I was in South Africa for a while and a good friend had a 911 Carrera RS LHD and it was weird to me even though I'm used to LHD!
