Dunno if he's new with the car but it looks like he is. And to be honest, to drive a car with over 800hp and almost $2 million price tag would scare the sh*t outta me to until I'm more familiar with it. However, despite that he looks kinda slow it also seems that this guy still has some skills and nice reaction tho. Take a look at the 2:40... I bet that many other daily driver could've been losing it.

Ummm... Believe it or not, but actually aligned and smooth metal plate, such as aluminium or so, eats the asphalt less than rubber tires grapping on it. It's simple actually... They use rubber when they're making asphalt... Rubber to rubber = more friction because they're blendable together... But some soft metal like aluminium versus asphalt = less friction... More or less because you can't blend metal with rubber together...

Agreed with Jimbooooo. Those standard C3's were kinda underpowered cars. They're good looking vehicles but didn't do such a rights for Vette's reputation. Kinda shame...

Oh... And before anyone calculates further I've already done my conversion from metric units into a imperial ones... :)This baby takes 0-60 less than 4secs and tops out 198.85mph. And then... Those sad things... Price of this machine (including the base car) is almost $173k

Yep... The speedometer is in km/h.

LMFAO! xD That was simply awesome! I've been looking for a new addictive hobby for a looong time and now I've found it! :D I already know a steep, winding road nearby and starting find out immediately where I can buy one of those tricycles.

Oh man... That sucks balls. :( Once again a driver who won his license from a lottery or his/her driving school gave it just for the pity when they couldn't stand he/her anymore.I remember my first and only crash so far when one douchebag hit me straight into a co-drivers side when I was driving major road and had prority. Stupid dumbf*cks. :( Luckily my car was just a POS Toyota. :D

And AK Crash : You're absolutely right. I watched this vid few times with my headphones on and you can hear the high pitched whine when the car is idle. There's no turbochargers which are whining when the car is idling.

kb03terminater : No need to get harsh there. Roll back the comments and read them. Then it's end of discussion because it still is centrifugal supercharger with BOV. I guess you're the one of those people who haven't heard of such a thing. But the truth is that there IS such a things and they're not even uncommon. Period.Imagine whatever you want it to be but it's still a centrifugal. If I'd only know the owner of this ride I'd definitely ask from himself and prove you wrong.

caddy1 : Uhum... It happens to be clearly in mph. Those small numbers on the speedometer are in kmh. I've never seen US car with kmh speedometer and I think that there's no US car like that. And... Built up Mustang doing only 160kmh? Oh c'mon... You can't be serious?
|
|
|
|
And even when a title of this vid clearly says that it's NOT turbocharged... Doesn't people read titles or/and descriptions here?
|
|
|
|
mustangheaven : Right said out there. One thing that amazes me most is that every time that certain people hear the BOV they automatically presume that it's turbocharged. Dunno why it's so difficult to believe and understand that it's not only turbocharged engines which use BOV's...
|
|
|
|
pouya : Dunno what kind of SC it exactly is... :/ I only know that it's centrifugal SC (ProCharger) with BOV.
|
|
|
|
imadapaka : I kinda disagree... Check this out and notice the year when this car was manufactured : http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Ride-in-a-78-Po...

Gotta agree with twilsont. Do some background search and you'll find out that bov with a s/c is nothing new or uncommon. There's loads of air going thru with s/c too. On the other site/forum where I found this vid they were arguing about same thing "Is it turboed or s/c'd" and it turned out that IT IS supercharged. And... This video was originally titled just the same way as I did.

Loved when how his wife is getting scared at one moment and calling him names and on the other moment she's just laughing and looks somewhat "comfortable". LOL But she's not getting totally hysterical in any point. I bet that many other women would have been getting some kind of s*it stroke. :D Great vid!

12secNova : You're damn right and that's what I tried to say to wtfyoulimeyastard... Just TOO many non-ordinary parts to make it an standard C6. And yes; a TRUE Corvette lover (like me) almost SMELLS the diffrence.
|
|
|
|
wtfyoulimeyastard : Sorry, but you're wrong. Check out the Autoblog website and you'll see. It happens to be pretty official carsite indeed. And then again; This car has new ZR1's wheels which are not available on aftermarket and this car has that small, "2-piece" rear spoiler which comes not with the standard C6 Corvette.
