Cool Vid, but agree, was totally anticipating to (ultimately) see the smoke rolling out the back and really see the beast fly!

Are you allowed to film a 4 minute long video of a 1000hp vette with the car only poking along and not flooring it at least once?

Sweet car!

Badazz car, lame video. 1000hp and we get 4 minutes of the car sitting still and idling through a parking lot.

It might have had 1000 hp, but we only got to see 150 of it.

Well said. Very disappointing. Beautiful car, but a waste of 4 minutes, IMHO.

That was the most boring video I have ever seen. I can make one with my Jeep thats about as exciting. It didn't do anything? Other than the wheels it could have been stock for all we know. Hell I can go circle mine in the garage with a camera if you like, it doesn't have an engine in it right now but the video will have the same amount of action!
