I think they should do a episode just based on 1 mile cars. Hell they did it somewhat on the US episode when they did the ZR1, CTS-V and Challenger. People now days are morons

Yea the comments by some of those guys are funny. Europeans are always jealous of faster American stuff for half the money so they try to diss it somehow. The sad thing is that a Corvette will run with or beat them on any race course as well easily.

Yes, it would go faster if we accelerated quicker. This car has a completely stock TR6060 trans with a bone stock 2.56 rear end. Did not want to take a chance of breaking the rear end off the line if it wheel hoped really bad in 1st gear.

We weren't full throttle till well into 2nd gear. We were worried about the tranny coming apart and tire shake breaking the rear gear due to the fact we had already broken a gear set in the camaro. The funny thing is that those guys think that it was turbo lag making it look slow on the take off. Really we were just taking it easy lol.

The comments are priceless. People really don't have a clue eh?
I can understand now why ya'll started off so slow. I was thinking it had something to do with keeping grip or some regulation that I didn't know about.
Congrats LMR for going World wide on dat ***!
