Awesome vid!!! I love in-car vids of real racing. Like that M3 also 
My best friend just bought a 2000 M5. Havent seen it yet. But I Bought my vette 4 days later lol. Might have to go see him today just so we can check out eachother's new rides.
I'm going to have to save up for some nice sticky tires, some bilstien HD's, and a nice set of pads and go try that myself.
Notice I didnt see any love for that gold Trans Am. was he pretty quick? I know a few guys that race camaros out at Motorsport Ranch outside of Fort Worth.

It is a shame how many people who own Corvettes will not go to the track. The ones who get me are those who are afraid of the track but will drive dangerously fast on the street.
The first time I ran Road Atlanta I was basically stock, other than the egine.
There I was running a 600 HP C5R-427 & couldn't keep up with much slower cars. 
Now I am running with Dilusi Stage III Racing Brakes, Hotchkis Stabilizer Bars, QA-1 Adjustable Shocks, CCW Track Wheels, Nitto NT-555RII R-Compund Tires (285/35 ZR18 & 305/35 ZR18). Huge difference!
