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

[LaserSVT]

Extending the corners by slowing down does nothing to increase the speed/time.

I don't know about many on here, but I've been in over 20 high speed pursuits and I've never gained an advantage by leaving the roadway. Instantaneous surface changes at speed can lead to an end to a chase, or race depending on the situation. The best way to carry speed through a corner is to brake early, and turn into the apex making the corner as straight as possible. When you turn, you induce braking and can reduce your need to brake by using the pedal and you can get on the gas earlier.

I have an 17-3 record in pursuits, and two of those were called off. That says alot when you are chasing a vehicle with a better power to weight ratio than a under powered 4 door cruiser.

I chased this guy for about 12 minutes before I called off this pursuit, but still ended up getting him thanks to a little old lady....

It should also be noted that in a pursuit, you have many more variables and responsiblities than just running into the grass, or a stack of tires.

OK, head out to the ring with your ZR1 and lets see what time you can pull.

Oh, I'm 3-3 running from cops in 3 different cars: Honda Prelude, Honda S2000, and '01 Corvette. Note: I am just making the previous sentence up to look cool on the internet.

I just can't friggin' believe you are questioning Jim Mero's lines on the Ring. The dude could smoke your ass in a V6 Camaro around the Ring with you driving a ZR1.

He's basically extending the track, allowing himslef to carry more speed into the corner. Do you watch non-Nascar type racing? Evey driver does it. And people usually do slow down for the apex of corners, or else you'll wind up with all four tires off the track

Nothin a Fox with $5000 in mods couldnt do.

Can't wait to wear our my PS2's and try out a set of these Sport Cups. Congrats to Chevy for finally putting some top of the line shoes on the Vette!

Well, I was going to post up pics of my bare chest, but you are absolutely correct, you first.

Lmfao

[D. Lil]

[ThreeFingerPete]

Clever a plot to get to the ring, for free.

Te he he!

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.
