Default Another Video of C7 and Camaro Z28 Lapping Nürburgring

I don't think this has been posted yet. The C7 looks and sounds even better here than the other Nürburgring video I think. I especially love the part at 0:24 where he downshifts to (what sounds like) close to redline.

1:05 - 1:07, I thought that was a dangerous curve when I lapped NurburgRing. I took the outside thinking I was going to crash my car taking the sweeper, wound up almost hitting the wall. Hahahah. NurburgRing is not for the heavy footed a first time 'round.

But anyone knows, a few laps on the 'Ring, is making history in your own little world. What a great time!!!

Nice video! The purpose built Z seemed more taut albeit only a couple of places in the video was it recognizable. Also did anyone notice the different exhaust note? The Z seemed deeper and more throaty while the 7 seemed to have a slightly higher pitch. Nice find OP!

Yeah, I am no fan of the Camaro's cosmetics or feel, but I am forced to say I really liked the sound of this one!

LS7 in the Z28. I wonder what, if any, improvements over previous LS7 builds.

Didn't seem like they were really pushing it.

Ken did you notice the minimal rebound on the Z at 1:45, such little travel and roll. That Z really looks like a track monster!
