I most be the only one that views this record and calls it fraud. This car is nothing like the Corvette ZR1 and a heck of a lot less like the GTR, it a racing car with number plate and should be classified in that category. I have said this before and will repeat it, it is not difficult to make any car handle well but to make it comfortable, refined and feel like a quality product while still handling well takes skill and all I see here is a rude, crude, semi-professional race car for the road.
Maybe you guys Stateside get all misty eyed at this thing and feel a bit of national pride but it not in the true spirit of the thing as the other manufacturers have done.
P.S.
Try riding on the rev limiter for as many occasions as was done here and see how long your car will last. No wonder third gear was a problem.
P.S.S.
Flame away, I have my flame-proof shorts on.
