Default Fasten Thy Seatbelt! 178-MPH IN New Vette!

OK Speed-freaks. Let's take a ride.
In the New 'Vette" around "The Ring" in Germany!
This won't take long. We'll be averaging three figures for most of the 12-mile Lap!

Keep a close eye on the drivers hands.
He motions in disgust every time he loses a few hundredths of a second over-steering a tight corner or two!

Other than than ... it "Pedal to the Metal Time" and a ride at the High-end of the Tack in the latest Chevy Corvette!
He really didn't go-for-broke. I would have made a few quicker shifts. He hits the limiter once or twice.

Staged.
Yellow, Yellow, Yellow ...
GREEN!
Hang-on baby! Here we GO!

Great video, Rick.

I'd love to try to top his speed, LOL.

I'd love to have a new ZR-1, but I'd settle for a newer ZO6!
