DAYUM! What kind of power does it take to push that Lambo, that fast? 2,000-2,500hp? Must be a TT car, running a bunch of boost. I've always said, "The only substitute for cubic inches, is cubic dollars"

Was watching the live stream both days. That camo wrapped C7Z is a beast. There's a good recent video of it on 1320video too on the street

Just spectating, mine needs an oil change and was not going to chance breaking down. Pretty sure I would have been embarrassed as it’s bone stock. Really fun two days, maybe next year.

Honda Civic at 196mph! Lots of 200+mph GTR's and Vipers. Fastest Corvette in attendance was 186mph and looked like a C5Z.
Those Lambos looked like they accelerated from about 80 to 160 in about a second, Dayum!
