That is one badass car! I don't like the hood window, but everything else is saaaaweet!

The best part is, at least this is what I have heard, is that this car was not designed on/for the Ring specifically like the GT-Rs and Porsches of the world, it just happened to be badass enough to conquer it anyway. Is that true?

Also, this was done by a developement engineer! Does he have a background in racing or driving the Ring? If not what could an experienced Ring racer do with this car? Kind of scary to think about, eh?

Congratulations to The General for dropping hate on the whole wide world.

True dat!

LJ, that was a mere engineer (be it an experienced test driver) doing that test run... It is predicted that Chebby's top racer will shave 4-5+ seconds off that time. :cool:

No way the GTR can never lose...its so fast i runs 1.5 seconds slower in the 1/4 than a zo6

That is what I am trying to get at! Maybe they are waiting for the V-Spec to do its thing and then they will put a pro driver behind the wheel to see what the car really has!
