Ha ha great vid. With the extra power you would think the ZR1 would better the Z06 by a bigger margin, but I suppose at those speeds aerodynamics and wind drag play quite a big factor in top speed. I haven't looked it up, but have heard that despite the weight reduction mods between the two, the ZR1 still weighs more??

Its also kind of comical to see the driver look over at the co-pilot leisurely-at over 200 MPH-in curiousity of what hes doing on the laptop!!

Just think a pulley, longtubes, and a clutch.. then what is the thing going to do, lol. I remember, that they where on a closed track but I think other cars were on there also. Maybe they were data logging too???

That is a closed test track in Germany . Papenburg to be exact. Not opened to the public at all. If it was I would have been on it by now. All vehicles on there are on there for testing purposes. The dang thing is huge with quite a few different track configurations possibilities. You can check it out on Google earth .
