Nice, it even looked like the Vette was shaking around little at the end, around 32seconds in. Weird...

Nice vid!

Pretty damn cool, a mile run set up like the 1/4. That is an excellent concept, use the tree and get time slip info all the way out to a mile. Nice run by the LPE ZR1 against the Koenigsegg. Any info on the LPE modifications?

It looked like uneven road. Thanks for posting it. I expected a mid-engine car jumping on the Vette from the start, but it was almost even.

when you are above 180 mph it takes exponential gains in horsepower to get results.

275 hp advantage did not buy much over the zr1.

The zr1 looked a little less planted at speed then the Konigsegg at mid and end track.

That car suppose to go 250mph, even an updated LS9 will have its hands full trying to keep up. I was surprised how close it was. Sometimes these ultra expensive cars just don't deliver.

I've never seen anything hang with a Konig to date; damn that was an impressive run by the ZR1.

Check out the Texas Mile event and you'll see a ton of cars that will kill that Konig. That being said, 196 MPH in the mile is very impressive for the ZR1 considering the cost + money to do those mods.
