Impressed. Didn't even seem like a very aggressive launch. Would love to see what the 60 foot was, but all in all a very promising platform.

wow, evan tranny crunching smith driving as well.

the car has a loooooooong first gear (just like the c6z). however, unlike the c6z its a whole lot more weight. sounds like its pulling bean counter timing on those evan crunching powershifts as well. i think this car will suffer what the first c6z owners endured...and thats finding the shifting finesse needed to work around those bean counters....massive powershifting won't produce the best/quickest/fastest mph traps

this car will go faster than 11.8@121 on stock rubber. The testing isn't over yet I don't believe. Lets wait til the offical numbers come out.

I'd very sad if the 660HP GT500 wasnt faster than 580HP Heavier ZL1 :shrug:

Good run for 1st testing on street tires I believe we'll see low 11s with just DR. :rockon:
