Nice video, nice lap at the Ring in the new Vette...

half way down.

Its Plastic. Can it out turn a moose in 16 foot area at 25mph? I think not...

Very impressive lap 7:19:63

I like that the driver they used was pushing and sliding even despite the traction control, and he was taking his time late apexing at the right places like Adenauer Forst, you can tell he really knew the track and wasn't some idiot drifter (supposed racer) celebrity driver they brought over like Tanner Foust.

Starts at $112,600. Say you financed 100k for 5 years at 5%. Your car payment would be about $1,880 per month.

I'm thinking most people who buy the ZR1 don't have to borrow the money, they may even look at it as a huge value for the performance compared to similar almost-super cars that cost a lot more (i.e. Porsche GT2 RS at $200k+, Lexus LFA $300k+ etc.)

The cool thing about the ZR1 IMHO is that it gets such great performance and handling using non-exotic hardware... that makes it an "American Tractor" in some elitist car circles but I think the Nordschleife lap times don't lie, the Nissan GTR is a similar great performing car for the $100k cost.

i almost traded my Camaro in on a Crystal Red Tintcoat grand sport they were giving 12k off the price plus 24k for my car

Very impressive! I checked wiki and noticed that lap time is number 9 on the “Production, street-legal vehicles” list!!! ...

I <3 'Vettes!

Gotta be a European driver. An American would kill themselves on The Ring with all the right turns.

actually, he's American and one of the Vette Engineers... he builds them.
