I was about to turn it off, and then you started to drive and pass! Lol great video, great skills and looks like a ton of fun! I kept watching and then you started to DRIVE! Wow Best Zr1 video! Beats applying ceramic paint protection any day! That’s what’s she’s built for!
That is the standard Cosworth graphics package on the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder video/data package. I have the same package on my Grand Sport.
I FIND MYSELF YELLING AT THE SCREAN, GO, GO, GO!!! LEFT, RIGHT, BRAKE LATER, ACELLERATE SOONER, AS IF HE CAN HEAR ME!!! LOVE IT!!! CHEVROLET FAN #1, ALL THE WAY THREW & THREW!!! SWEET VIDEO & YOUR A LUCKY GUY!!!
You're passing people as If it's just a highway drive and everyone is cruising at a set speed. I couldn't imagine being in my car, come around a corner wide open. Then this thing just shoots by like excuse me sir just gonna put busses on you before the next corner
Patrick H I was thinking the same thing. At first, it looks like some of the other cars are just on a Sunday drive but then you realize they're probably giving it at least 90% and the vette walks right by. He managed 28 miles in 18 minutes, average speed is 90 mph
Very impressive. It handles exceptionally well. The power is tremendous. Porsches, Vipers, even Godzilla waved you around. You passed just about every car on the track. Chevy has done a great job on this one, they needed it after the Z06 debacle.
By 11:06 was wondering where all of your friends went?....all along on the track...oh wait, see some more friends ahead...lets see what they are doing. LOL! Excellent work...smooth is the key.
Thank you! I'm already sick of seeing these at drag strips, it was made for a road course. Seems like that Trac control is a little hyper sensitive, it was kicking in.. in a straight line under braking. A lot.
What a machine!!!! The car is probably on stock tires. The Porsche's come with Sport Cup 2's tires. He was probably letting the tires get up to temp. Imagine if he was on track tires like Pirelli's Trofeo R's....they drop your lap times by like 2 sec. Either way, it's still impressive right off the showroom floor. Off course, this is years of running R&D in IMSA Petite LeMans & 24 Hours of LeMans in the GTLM class .
Watching this video was so enjoyable and frustrating. You were no where near the cars limits. You can easily hit 170 on Road America. And you can brake so late down the hills into a turn. But I get everyone ain't a race car driver. I just know what my car can truly do. Well done mate.
@@bear.127 I do not type that very often. On the line all video, playing nice with others, fun & safe, on the rumbles just right everywhere possible, wish there was video of your car from the GT3. Nice car too.
Thought i was watching Forza with all the back markers. Thought the miata was gonna send ya the the shadow realm in the next corner after you passed him. Sounded sketch lol
Atribecalledkush yea its way too different. I feel like once you get some seat time or drive the shit out of your car in real life, there's no replacement for that. Unless they develop a chair where you can feel the weight of the car, it turning and all that extra stuff, I'll never touch another racing simulation game ever again.
And the crazy thing is you weren't even going full-out on the brakes or taking the kink flat out (which is entirely possible with big enough balls). I can't imagine this thing with slicks and a sequential.
Was the cars transmission acting up or does manual paddle shift allow you to hit the rev limiter? just curious. the car is fast and probably still very new to you and errors happen. Regardless awesome driving. I'm not a big gm fan but the zr1 is a beast. please reply about the transmission. quick disclaimer I'm not hating on the car or looking for weak points I just noticed a few rev limiter hits and want to know if it's just simple driver error or the transmission.
PowerUnknown so I'll take some of the blame as the driver. I'm use to racecars that shift the instant I hit the paddle. The car was trying to learn me while I was trying to learn it.
bluterek155 thanks for replying. I figured it was just driver error. trust me I have plenty of my own! I'm sure some transmission tuning can speed up the shifts. so I've heard. I'm more of a manual guy myself but friends of mine with autos have had some adjustments made to speed up the shifts on other cars. nice car btw have fun and please keep posting videos!
Looked like a lot of fun! How come you didn't use any of the PTM modes while in track mode? That car has them too, right? It would have helped keep the nannies from intruding as much as they did, which is not good for your brake pads.
I think this was my 1st time out in the ZR1, still had the temp tag on it. I was coming from 3 years of winged formula cars with slicks and half the cylinders, seemed like the safer option.
Anyone who says that isn’t a super car is failing to understand either the meaning of the word super or the word car. Not sure which. What other makes and models could have flown by Vipers, GTR’s, Porsche’s, etc.?
This an auto car or 7MT? Sounds like an auto and damn impressive on the upshifts. Downshifts still seem a bit slow, and the 4th to 5th spacing seems a bit odd...otherwise outstanding
I agree with one of the other posts that auto for competitive driving only. I still love the manual. But we all are going to have to adjust to auto in future.
I live in EL been to RA for over 40 yrs. Seems coming out of corner 14 going up the hill at about the 20 min mark was the only time ugot into 6th seem like that shift was a bit to soon.IMHO. Otherwise great run. How much Fuel did U start with?
thats right you got all them fools bmw ,porsche and another fellow corvette had them all for lunch i like they way you laid back at first let the tires warm up so they would hook up better good job driving for sure id take a different line threw the corners but what your doing its working maybe i learned something watching you race i always come into corner tight you go into corner high then low come out high it seems to work good for you .....these guys cant hang with a supercharged corvette,.... i bet they all are pissed off!!
Quick question was the car in front of you the first couple of laps a 991.2 gt3? And did any of the gt3s keep up after you passed them? because in the first few corners it looked faster in the corners but on the straight away you where killing it. Last question, at the end of the video the guy says he smells something what was it?
TheCa007 I was quicker in the corners by a little. It was day 1 in the car in track I would like to think I'll get better as time goes on. I assume it was brakes.
I'm going to sell my kids and buy myself one of these.....
Michael Myers probably cheaper in the long run lol
The thought has crossed my mind also.
Good luck with the buyer lol
Michael Myers I've already sold my mine!!!
LOL!!
Very impressive. I watched your ZR1 Owners course videos before I went for my ZR1 class at Ron Fellows and it helped me quite a bit, thanks.
I was about to turn it off, and then you started to drive and pass! Lol great video, great skills and looks like a ton of fun!
I kept watching and then you started to DRIVE! Wow Best Zr1 video! Beats applying ceramic paint protection any day! That’s what’s she’s built for!
Tony D'Aloisio yeah I was using the 1st lap or so as a warn up I should have edited it out. My apologies.
Good idea when you have a car that capable to work yourself up to it. :D
bluterek155 you drove that thang!!
you don't just take 650+HP and open the throttle. You need to put heat in the engine and tires first
@@horsecockexpress7612 750+
WOW, these video game graphics are getting amazing these days! :)
you funny

"American cars can't turn"

Seriously though, that vette can corner like nobody's business, no wonder it holds the lap record there (vir). Even beating the porche 918
@@captaintraction4024 u trippin bruh the 918 has a lap time of 6:57 in the nordshlife nowhere near zr1s time which is over 7

Great driving! Clean passes and the ZR1 is just sick!
Always and still my favorite car. Thanks for the video.

that thing just killing it out there
Whoah... that ZR1 is fast. You destroyed everything on the straight. Cool video
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
It took a while but he kinda showed what that car is capable of, there is no other car in the world that can perform like that for the money, love it
Very impressive. It handles exceptionally well. The power is tremendous. Porsches, Vipers, even Godzilla waved you around. You passed just about every car on the track. Chevy has done a great job on this one, they needed it after the Z06 debacle.
Damn nice vid.....ZR1 is a BEAST
no google plus Thanks!
About time to see the ZR1 in its real element!
A fun day at the track without hiccups is every racers goal. Goal achieved!
absolutely awesome. I have a 2016 Callaway SC757, that ZR1 looks incredible!
By 11:06 was wondering where all of your friends went?....all along on the track...oh wait, see some more friends ahead...lets see what they are doing. LOL!
Excellent work...smooth is the key.
This is like Forza where you run a car 2 classes higher against the computer for fun.
Haha yep and just dominate every car in your way! Love that!
Lol, that's american muscle eating foreign sports cars for lunch! That car is an absolute beast on the track! Love it!!!!
Yes I agree although all cars there were pretty slow
Thank you! I'm already sick of seeing these at drag strips, it was made for a road course. Seems like that Trac control is a little hyper sensitive, it was kicking in.. in a straight line under braking. A lot.
Clean driving smart lanes👏👍
If the track was empty you would eat it!
Great vid! I knew you were about to exit when I saw you get passed by 2 cars. Lol!
Couple observations: 1. FAST AF 2. No heat soak 3. Felt bad for all the lap traffic 💨😂
Class of the field!
Teslas cant do this. They'd go into limp mode after like 3 laps, from battery heat.
And they have "race mode" which whenever you race them, they get scared and wet themselves
and overcooking the brakes, those things weigh like 5000 lbs

Looks like a fun day!
The ZR1's closing rate on the slower cars is amazing. Even has a tighter racing line than some of the smaller and lighter cars.
Nice driving, that was awesome. Brutal power on the straights. Great turns. You ate everybody, didn't see anyone pass ya. Nice.
Man. Them ZR1s got so much top end!
Beast for sure!
That is a serious car no doubts.
Great driving. Thank you for the upload
Ultimate ZR1. Even the auto trans is great.

That F-body was a treat.
No one mentioned the less obvious.
That E46 M3 was the impressive one, running with the big boys.
guy was absolutely goated
dude you are a beast! that car!!!
Great video, thanks for posting!
Congratulation's Corvette, and great driving!
Thank you!
I knew you were holding back and still keeping up with them easily in the beginning
I wanna play a game....take a drink every time the loss of traction indicator comes on
That was awesome!! Can't wait to go pick up mine!
That is nice driving!!
Thank you!

Crazy acceleration
People on here commenting on his race skills probably drive a Buick and play Forza all day. Lol
Wrong. I drive a Prius and play Need for Speed.
Nice toys you have there. Looking at hud I thought it is an old arcade game.
Dude, you can drive your ass off. I had to take a couple pointers from you and apply them to Forza..You were attacking those corners.
It’s easier in real life with a wheel than a stupid xbox controller.
Chuck Beef not all people that play forza use a controller lol the do have force feedback wheels nowadays.

Almost a crime to have that much fun. I said Almost. Great run.
race mode kicked in yo!!!!
Great car bro. Enjoy!!!
Bringing my 2006 Z06 this year!
And the crazy thing is you weren't even going full-out on the brakes or taking the kink flat out (which is entirely possible with big enough balls). I can't imagine this thing with slicks and a sequential.
Subbed. I have to go to sleep but I will be watching these tomorrow.
Hopefully you liked them!
At 10:00 that's when things started getting really interesting. 14:00 you killed that viper 👍
Nice driving.
That E46 was running real good. Zr1 just has the top speed
Exactly why vette is better car in same class as gts Porsche and such out performs e46 everyday
What a beast
Awesome video man. I really want to take my car there this year.
Drive CHW does a really food event there every year!
The Vette telling the Porsches Move bitch, get out the way!
14:15- is the Bumblebee an ACR? Looked like ground could have been held. By the Mopar that is. .
Awesome driving! Those poor miatas...
Thank you!
That was FUN!!
Hahahaha loved it ..nice ZR1
SO IT DOES NOT RUN ON LOVE?Just kidding I have a ZL1 that goes past anything but a gas station when you get on it. Nice run.
Wow! That’s a fast track!!

Brutal!! Had to be discouraging to the other drivers to get greased like that??
looks fun great car
Really started driving @ 5 min
He did a warm up lap
Niceeeee 🔥🔥🔥🔥🏆
seemed like the trans messed up shifting a few time idk if that drive or computer error but yeah awesome video
Was this a private session? I am absolutely in love with this track I go as often as I can lol
Anyone who says that isn’t a super car is failing to understand either the meaning of the word super or the word car. Not sure which.

Why are you the only one racing.
JB Avalon and just like that you made all Porsche drivers sad lol
Zora's Racer #1.
me thinks somebody's opted for the HIGH WING. :)
Philly Phil it's really the only option lol
correct, it's go big or go home. none of that "low wing" nonsense like Streetspeed717. low wings for Z06 drivers.
What game is this?? 😊
How does anyone give a video like this a Thumbs down? Fuckin haters. They do the same with my ZL1 videos

Bryan H The atom that started behind me lol that was really about it
Any plans for RA this year? I'd love to see how badly the ZR-1 beats on my ZL1 1LE.
Try using performance traction management, should help a lot
Did the zr1 overheat or anything after all that pounding?
Never had a problem with the ZR1
2:26 is a pretty solid time.
