Yummy! I love the 'Ring. It's my favorite track in Gran Turismo and some
day I'll drive it for real .

The 'Vette's a monster for sure but I find it pretty cool that the Nissan
GT-R is only threes seconds slower and it weighs 400 lbs more. Oh, and it
costs $30k less too .

I watched this one some more 'cause it is freaking cool to take that ride
.

But I notice that there's no supercharger noise at all. Now I really want
to meet one of these in person 'cause the Mustang roots/screw blowers are
noticable even with really loud exhausts, especially on in-car camera's.

Personally, I think it's a shame to make a blower quiet, but GM's good at
reading the Corvette demographic so maybe those guys don't like it. I
notice, though, that the 'chargers on the few Cobalt SS's I've run into are
pretty quiet as well in stock trim. However, the pullied one I got the hear
was about what I expected .

According to Vettweb, it's a new Eaton design and uses four rotors
instead of three, making it quieter and more efficient. Power loss is
around 70hp compared to 120 in the old design.

That is a cool video and I think a better driver could knock off a few
tics. I would be free.

Seems like what you would call a very forgiving car. There were a few
moments that would have seen me spinning out of control or going off into
the woods.

I think TFrog and I would come in at around 12 minutes...
