JUST DON'T CALL IT A SUPERCAR!

Wow what an ultracar!

Incredible. I've seen a lot of ring videos, but I've never seen a vette corner like that on the ring.

Showroom stock down to the tires. Pretty sick. Cool video.

Dupe. Sorry, I had to though :P
As the resident GM guy I felt a need to point out that I posted the zr1 vid first.

I hadn't noticed that at first. This thread's title is a bit more descriptive. Just a helpful tip moving forward, you'll get more looks if you have more descriptive thread titles.

Yeah, I noticed you posted earlier but your thread title was nondescript so i didn't view it at first. Honestly i thought you were posting about a new Fox reality show.

Import,

I actually looked at yours first, then checked out M4A1's. The difference I think was that you presented the video as a brash, in-your-face "Corvette uber-alles/ what now, Nissan GTR/ Suck it, b!tches" fire starter whereas M4A1's was more about recognizing the accomplishment of the 'Vette from a neutral, "car-enthusiast" standpoint. Which is cool, that's completely your call as how you put things out there, but it can make it a little awkward to comment on. Just how I see it, based on how your posts seem to trend.

Regardless, Jim Mero and the ZR1 deserve all the kudos, great use of the Sport Cups by Chevrolet, and Mero obviously has some big brass cajones. Excellent vid!
