Default New Ferarri 488 GTB driven by Chris Harris

I know it's not a corvette but I hope GM watch this can can do something similar with the next ZR1 (ie twin turbo). Really is amazing what can be done with turbo engines these days, even without 'torque fill' like MacClaren use. And proof that turbos can work just fine on track.

Didn't the 917-30 prove that over 40 years ago?

Not in the same league as this car though! The response is amazing. It's like a NA car but with more go. Amazing how they do it.

May be cool. May be efficient. But the sounds of racing is getting so boring and null. Sure miss the Aston Martin v12 lola, Mazda 787, high strung na motors, and now Ferrari's will be dulled down.

The car is faster than a F12! This is hyper car territory. Oh and it's easy to drive on the track and road.

Come on guys this is a feat of engineering.
