2012 ZR1 'Vette does The 'Ring... in 7:19.4

[BlackSnake]

180+ on the straight, dam

183, and I'd love to have one.

Was that the driver's first time around the ring?

He drove like shit. He spent half the time in the grass...

NO Way!? I watched it a few times, all I saw was letting it run out(unwind) to the rumble strips and only saw him cut one corner. Pretty good driving I thought, I'm sure that car is a handfull on street tires no matter how sticky.

I swear at 1:33 the front end lifts!

Reminds me of the drive to work - just slowed down a little bit...

I hope you're joking...

[Strychnine]

I hope you're joking...

Just in case he's not, it should be noted that Mero has 1200+ laps on the ring.

[slow99]

That does it, I'm getting one.

[TENGRAM]

.... just a vette

Yes, just a vette that dominates any production car you can dream of.

Maybe you would respect it more if it was made in Europe...

[YALE]

That does it, I'm getting one.

You ever need help wheeling that thing on a road trip, holler at me.

[Rick Modena]

I hope you're joking...

No hes not, lol!

That was very impressive, he had a handfull, that car is a beast. Theres only two Corvettes I would own and thats one of them.

well if you can ever get over something being just fast let me know. I got tired of going fast aloooong time ago. I respect it for being a bad ass car, but its still just a vette. I can appreciate all cars, most of the shit I like is european and from the 80's haha. I think I'd rather the new ctsv over the zr1 though

It's not just a vette, it's a super car that's a fraction of the cost to it's competition. A vette doesnt sport the same chasis as the Z cars, they're alluminium chasis vs mild steel. Carbon parts vs fiber glass, I get where you guys are going with the "just a vette". It's the baddest corvette ever produced.

I mean appreciate the car for what it is, but it will never shake the stigma of being what it is. It's pretty sweet, I dig the shit out of my buddies c6 z06. Just not my bag

[03trubluGT]

Really? Ever seen an F1 race? Those guys use the bumpers all over the track.

I can't see how going off the track and all the jostling can help speed and time. You can definately see him slowing down when he leaves the track.

[03trubluGT]

I'm not, and I could take him. If you guys want to start a collection to fly me over there, I'll prove it.

[Sean88gt]

You take your test yet?

In a few years we'll be comparing rides.

Watch the g meter he was throwing that thing in them corners, I saw 1.5+ gs many times.
