A little help translating please

Did you hear him saying: "Schuhhubb!!"
That means "thruuuust". He made the elasticity test by using only fourth gear... from 0-280 km/h
He really appreciated the vette! No surprise for me though.
He also said the vette is a car that you've got to drive with your *****...

Don't speak German, but it sure looked like he was really enjoying the Z06.

Did you watch his face when he started up the car? There is nothing like the sound of a powerful v8. I loved it when he floored the gas pedal. Watch his eyes. And that laugh . . .
Thanks for that link. It made my day

No prob, glad everyone likes it. I'm just glad to see someone not from the US recognize our auto engineers abilities. Looks like if we are not already we are quickly becoming a world competitor!

I really would like to see our beloved Corvette replace military weapons as the gross national product the world buys the most of from us. It looks like at least one German is getting his U.S. consumer goods list correct!
Thanks
