Default Corvette ZR1 750HP screaming on track

Hello everyone!
This sunday i went on track with a friend of mine Corvette ZR1 tuned to 750hp with the Lingenfelter Kit. He drove in Monza, Italy, where the Formula1 italian GP takes place.
So much fun to drive and really amazed by it's incredible sound! The only problem was with the front right brake pad which was dead and he had to brake 100m earlier and in the middle of the track...but it was truly amazing!

Very tough to drive BTW...
Hope you like this video i made with 5 gopros on the car

That is an exciting video. Loved watching as you blew past others on the track. You got a strong engine for sure. Too bad your brakes were malfunctioning at the time. Thanks for sharing.

When one watches videos like these one can see how capable the C6 Corvettes - and not to forget you! - really are.
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed it.

Wow.. thanks for sharing a thrilling ride...and with run flats and less than perfect brakes in the midst of all that traffic - kind of scary.
Great car and assolutamente fantastico driving!

Thank you guys!! I'm glad you appreciate it
The highest speed isn't between lesmo and ascari, but after the parabolica, before the first corner. The onboard speedometer was showing 290km/h. It could have been more than 300km/h with better tires and brakes.

BTW the maximum speed we've reached (in another location) with that car was 320km/h but we had to stop....there was more

What the girl said on the main straight could be translated as: "Oh my god i'm cooomiinnggggg!!"

ahahahaahahaha

By the way that car is so hard to drive...the same day i drove an audi R8 too and it was like a videogame compared to the ZR1!! To go fast with a ZR1 you must be a good racer, or you'll be slower than the Subaru...That's really really tough


By the way, feel free to share the ZR1 video wherever you want! Lingenfelter already shared it on their official page

I like the part next to the white M3 when they both get loose coming out of a right hand turn!!
