I love the way he drives the ZR1! and the sounds are awesome, who needs to understand what he's saying.

Too bad none of us here in the states can REALLY enjoy our cars (on public roads) without the risk of landing us in jail.

About half of the words he is using would get this thread locked for explicit content anyway!

It was thrilling to watch him drive the ZR1 regardless of whatever it was that he was saying. Nice vid

Nice vid! I saw it a couple days ago and though I can understand some German, you don't need to understand any to know from his face, chuckles and screams that he is quite excited!

Ich spreche Deutsches.(I speak German.)

He said:

I went to the dealer and asked for a test drive but when they saw my mini cooper outside they threw me out. So I went back late at night and I stole it. Then I drove it like I stole it. It was fun. I left them my mini cooper and I hear they are selling it for MSRP plus $5000 Euros.

I learned German in High School, I can translate for you guys.

Narrator - "This is one Bad *** ride"

Driver - "Holy Crap this thing is BAD"

Passenger - ""

Seen this one previously. For a German, he was really excited with the ZR1.

hi guys,
i´m a katech Z06 driver from germany, and believe me, the driver is a moron..
and he is not the one who is doing the drifts!!!

better watch tim schrick (real race driver who knows what he´s talking about).
here he is comparing Z06 with dodge viper (corvette wins!)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDeaGXcn0KQ

and i love this one: he is starting in 4th gear: from zero to 173mph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoJ-tkBNixE

have a nice day,
phil

The Tim Schrick guy can drive, but the guy in the first video drifts like a 16 year old driving a civic type R in the high school parking lot. He's all over the place and it looks terrible. You can hear how terrible he is at feathering the throttle. Not to mention he was only entering those turns at 30-50 mph, that's nothing??? He made Jeremy Clarkson look like freaking Ayrton Senna(RIP).

Wow!

That guy can´t drive? Wonder why he regularly competes quite succesfully in the most difficult race in the world, the 24 hours at the Nuerburgring??

Couldn´t it be that they told him to drive "spectacularly" (sp?) for the clip?

Best, Bernd
