Default Ludicrous speed....

This isn't C4...but OMG it's amazing. most in car "speed" vids don't do a lot for me. All the Z06 vs. Viper vids, Supercharged Mustang rolling pull vids, etc... Can't really "feel" the speed. This one, though is different (to me). Love the sound of the turbo(s) too!

Agreed. Passing cars like they are tied to a fence post!

Watch this one with surround sound on a big screen. Holy cow!! I enjoy the Corvettes going around the nurburging, but this is a totally different level.

You have to have all the confidence in the world the drivers in the other lane do note switch lanes if they don't see you pulling up on them at speed/full throttle....

I remember when Dream Car Garage with Peter Klut did a video on the Autobohn in Germany with the C6Z06 that was modified and did some fifth gear pulls at speed similar to this to see how it performed; they even commented; we are hoping for our lives the drivers in slower lanes do not decide to switch at the wrong time......no fear of being arrested however..... ; just death.

This is not a hijacking attempt to a fun thread but while we are on the subject of inside car cameras and speed, this gave me thrills since we are Corvette guys......I will have to say, this C7 Z06 has me thrilled for first time on a brand new Corvette......I was not crazy about the C7 when first laying eyes on it, but I sure would like to see this Z06 and drive it.......No second thought- bad idea; the C4 has a place in my heart and that would probably change dramatically while experiencing this first hand.......


Enjoy the ride w/o the price tag......
