That was amazing!

Now, how in the world do they have an article posted with video and "no word on just how fast Corvette went?" Sheesh!

You can go to there site. Some guy driving one around there Sealy test
track. Makes allot of noise, not sure how fast he goes. I've been down there,
didn't know they had that much paved area. ?? if takes in part of the
drag strip.

Very fast clip. Stopped before the parts started flying off the car. With money, anyone can make a car fast. Caveat Emptor

All that and no posted Speed/MPH? Lame.

At least they got the front splitter right.

It's funny how when people show videos of any other car and any type of illegal exhibitions of speed everyone is all over them but now it's ok? Are they a forum vendor?/
