I do that on the Jackie Robinson Parkway on the way to work, lol.

That is a serious car with a serious driver! Kudos to GM

I'd be more impressed if GM would build a reliable vehicle for my daily driver.

The 2012 ZR1 smokes the Bugatti Veyron!

Couldn't just leave it alone. Plenty of good GM daily drivers out there. Makes you sound like a goof ball.

The new ZR1 is down right nasty.

That is one heck of a job to have. It almost seemed in the straight away if it had another gear it would have just kept going faster and faster.

It's amazing how low the rpms were coming out of some of the corners and how easily it just pulled right out into higher rpms. The driver probably could have downshifted a little more to keep the rpms up, but it really didn't need it. Gobs of torque.

I agree, just wish I had more disposable income.

You and me both brother! I'd probably be as giddy as Jeremy Clarkson driving his ZR1.

Don't let James May see this video. I would switch to the General to buy a Vette in a heartbeat.

YUP!! I'll take mine in the Black Special Editon trim, with comp gray wheels (if that option is still available in '12).

Then it is off to the tuner/builder to pull >1000 rwhp out of it, and >300 lbs. of mass out of it!

I'll take two please.

Love that car, might buy one in a couple of years. I just need to get over the stigma of owning a Corvette.

If I remember correctly the Chevy dealer wanted $125k last time I saw one, which is "cheap" for what you are getting.

Is the "stigma" about actually owning/buying a domestic product, or the image of the middle aged, gold-chained, 'waxer' owner who only takes it out on picture perfect weekends??!!

No question 7:19 is one fast lap of the Nordschleife.
