He didn't take the high-banked turn.

Have you guys read the road and track review where the professional driver had a day at Milford and hit 2 flat just behind Jim Meros 1.58 time..
I hadn't seen road and tracks video of the green z51 but the photos in the article and the article itself was. Quite impressive.

Yes way it's the stock exhaust.
Remember the thread where we discussed the active noise cancellation in the car? In that thread, I suggested it might be cool if the system changed its characteristics in Track mode because of an assumption that the driver would have a helmet on.
It could be that that's what's at play here...

the "professional driver" was Tony Stewart and yes, he got to a 2:00.7 lap time which put him 2 seconds behind the projected target lap of 1:58 at MRC. That was with just a handful of laps behind the wheel. Give the guy some more practice time and he might just break the target time.

While some of the Stingray colors have an added cost to them, this green should have a $10,000 discount. Toyota, KIA, and Honda must have given their excess stock of green to GM.
Obviously targeted at their new generation of Corvette owner in the 18 to 20 year-old market.

Never so that before. Thanks for posting. From that vantage point (POV Camera) the car looks and sounds like a beast. Great stuff!!!
