Z06_505

I put together a clip of passing highlights from my recent event at Sebring. Even in the twitchy hands of a novice like myself (1st event ever was this past May), the 505 hp C6Z06 begs to eat up the pavement. My favorite pass is when the professional Panoz racing team car had to give way.

You must be stuffed! ...that was a HUGE PORTION of Porsche you ate! ...one after another, after another! Great Job! Looked fun!

06C6Z

Enjoyed very much, thankyou.

Boulder GT3

Very smooth and fun to watch. What was the car about half way in with the wing and it looks like three hash marks on the right side of the bumper? An Esparante maybe?

I need to haul a car someplace warm and get on a track.

If that was a professional driver for Panoz then they need to be fired.

I bet it was someone who purcahsed a Panoz GTS in race colors.

I ran my Z with Panoz GTS cars and the drivers that run in the Panoz Series are wicked fast and not professional.

Panoz GTS is:
430 hp
435 lb/torque
2685 wt.
and Race ready.

Someone REALLY needs to take the time to mount a quality hi-def cam (no vibration noise) and stereo mics professionally (to eliminate wind noise) on their car for these types of sessions!

To me there just isnt enough quality "in car" footage available - 'specially on the net.

Come on you guys - make it happen!

But I digress. Nice driving, my friend!

I'll do it when I get mine. I know how much I enjoy in car vids, so maybe I can work on giving bacak a little.

Roger, that!

in the meantime, here'sa little sumthin' sumthin' to whet everyone's whistle:

PS- this is the best in-car footage I've found on the entire'net to date. I challenge the Z06 owners to better it. The FXX is crrrazy fast -- but I think I'd enjoy a Z06 vid with LS7 at full-song (butterflies open) better!

PPS- Phantasms, whats the deeleeo on this beast? you gonna get to ride in one of these? LOL

OK, I have to admit, this might be better: http://www.bmwtransact.com/microsite/Nurburgring/ but who's splitting hairs when it comes to this kind of driving?

Z06_505

It was a professional team from Michigan in the Panoz's (2 cars)...English accents...two men and a woman...at our drivers meeting they had on full racing garb...the Chin coordinator warned us if we see them in the mirror, to just let them go...along with the open wheeled racers...the first time I got behind the other Panoz, he would not let me pass even though I was faster (he ended up splashing gasoline out his vent and I got a little squirrly so I slowed)...the second one, as you saw, relented. I honestly was surprised how they performed. That's why I mentioned this was my favorite passing sequence. The green formula type open wheel racer lived up to expectations and passed me twice, as I captured in the clip.

Thanks for the tech info on the car...I looked but couldn't find it.

Z06_505

I'm still working on my setup and I think I have something much better now. The two stereo mics I put in the groove between the hatch lid gasket and the rear panel. No wind whatsoever and the exhausts sound as loud as before. I tried the camera on the roof with my suction cup mount and I like thet too. I can try all sorts of camera locations, but it's the sound that is challenging.

No matter how bad though, I love reliving the experience....

Z06_505

I didn't include all the Porsche passes that I made...I didn't want to seem like a glutton...

Also many passes on Miatas, which were too blurry to see on video because of the speed difference...

MKV

Awsome Vid

Foosh

Thanks, I enjoyed the video, and I love that course.

Nice video. Now lets be real. Yes the Z is fast as h3*&. But you out drove those guys period. I have been on the track with guys like you. I learned to point fast also.

Nice driving!

2KZ28CAM
