Default Video of 09' ZR1 Lapping @ Laguna

It's a cool video that starts out with Johnny O jumping in the driver seat in kind of a stig esqe fashion and taking out the ZR1 and flogging it. No sound but it's the best shot of this car yet. You can almost make out the hood as well. Enjoy! http://jalopnik.com/cars/corvette-zr...?autoplay=true

Nice Al, thanks. I pick up my trailer tomorrow. Still looking for track wheels, though, so if you know of anybody giving up 4 17's, call me!

I would think that would be a good FLYING lap for anything with street rubber. Of course the driver may have had something to do with that as well.

With the angle the vid was taken from, it looks like a Mico Machine. Quick though. /:\

I love how the driver slides in real pro-like with his helmet and HANS, then buckles the OEM 3 point belt around himself. Good luck with that HANS doing it's job........

Nice car though!

Finally a nice set of OEM wheels on a Corvette. I am sure whatever lap time they got was not truly an indication of what the car can do. There is no way that even Johnny O got those Ceramic brakes up to temp in just one lap. I hoped the car would look MORE dramatic than a Z06 with a hood and fenders. Maybe it is a trick and the final ZR-1 will look different...

Yeah, I dig those wheels! Wouldn't mind having the rest of the car but I think I may at least be able to afford the wheels.

That was Johnny O... this was all a GM stunt to creat a fervor about the car.
