This is indeed a great time announcement.
The ZR1 with his wife as a passenger at almost 0 ° outside temperature!

Now, the ZR1 filmed from behind, in the first lap.
Note that the driver is always in between waiting for the rear of the vehicle with the video cam must

Beautiful as the fire from the exhaust pops

During touristfart, you an drive a caravan onto track or a bus with 50 assengers, thats the scary part for us wannabegofast drivers

Thats why i try to avoid tourstfahrt days and go dedicated track days

Btw impressive drive, he nailed most of the corners perfect, a bit modest on speed someplaces, but hey it was 32F ,
Makes me optimstic about a ZR1 matching GT2 RS if only GM could have option sticky tire

Cant be same driver, totally different lines and 40 sec off pace
8.06 BTG is fast but not impressive
7.48 and below is ok

It is the same driver.

As Lasco correctly wrote, in the second vid they mainly wanted to film the flames from the exhaust, and therefore he took a "slower line" and not always went full throttle, so the camera car (an LS3 with some suspension mods, a Z06 body kit and ZR1 wheels with Dunlop tires) could follow.

Best, Bernd

This is not a problem
335/30x18 and 295/30x18 fits beautifully. You only need the right wheels!

The wife was in car doing 7.27 BTG, now that is scary fast

I think full lsp is 7.26.2? with Jim mero?

And you have to add 22 sec between bridges minus 7 sec on T13 to get the official full lap that is used as benchmark.
Regardless, 7.4x full lap with wife is very impressive

Wow, I would love to make that video my screen saver. Driving the car casually all the time can make one forget what the car can really do.

Would love to know the first word out of passenger’s mouth when it was all over
