Great quality video


Surprised Mustang GTD weighed so much despite be a street legal racecar.

Got to ride as a passenger on a hot lap w/ a pro driver in a new 911 GT3 RS at Barber Motorsports Park.

It was the most violent mechanical experience I've ever had, including 8 gs in an F-15.

Watched that yesterday. Jason Camissa and Haggerty have some of the very best automotive content on YouTube.

Loved seeing the Vette absolutely destroy the competition. Best performance car bang for the buck bar none.

The GTD is so heavy because of all the stuff they had to add to make it a street car.

The race version would destroy all 3 of these.

I'm looking forward to a ZR1 showing up at COTA. I'm curious to see how it handles the abuse of stacking laps, something vettes haven't traditionally been good at.

Yeah, seems GM may have fixed the brake fade issue w/ the Monobloc calipers and better cooling design. Time will tell..

How is the "street car" status different than the GT3 RS or ZR1?

This is a pretty good vid of Cleetus McFarland at COTA in a pair of ZR1s. Cleetus at COTA


Edit: I assume you were talking about running race laps which is not what's happening in the vid I linked. They're still letting the ZR1 stretch it's legs a bit.

I always wondered how hard they push these cars in these videos. I know it was s professional driver but how close to the edge is he pushing these cars? Also wonder who pays the insurance.

Excellent video. The ZR1 is one hell of a car.

Give me the Porsche any day. Those things corner like they are on rails.

Corvette has been one hell of a car for some time but "motoring enthusiasts" are always hesitant to give it it's dues.

Corvettes are strictly for midlife crisis & really old guys.
Porsche all day long. Corvette is cheap-looking & design is a hodgepodge of Ferrari & other super cars.

I know the ZR1 is the fastest but I'd rather own the Porsche followed by the Mustang then the Vette.
