That is a great video! What is amazing to me is how stable the car is at those speeds. I expected the co-pilot to pull out a picnic basket a start making sandwiches. LOL.

That was amazing. Looked very familiar LOL. I'd love to put my ride on that closed track.

The ZR1 had better be able to do that and even more once the aftermarket gets there hands on one. For the price it should do even more. We'll see as testing continues. The car is perfect though, wish I had the cash. I'd like to see the car come with FACTORY headers, it make her sound as mean as she looks.

I thought I saw 207 on the digital readout before they shut it down. Sweet!

I would like to know how hot those michelins were after that run...

That gave me goosebumps watching that sustained speed for that long..

Nice rollcage (or something like that above their heads)
