I started panicking when the rain started, he started getting light in the rear.
Standard/modified ? Forgive me for my ignorance but it sounded like it was running open headers ?
I had fun watching that it gave me a thrill over watching a GTR doing it.

I just thought the exhaust sound was sharper and ramped up quicker than the 2012 Z06 Corvette they had ran. Maybe the mic was in a better position to pick up the sound.

Other examples of weight savings include:
- Eliminated the tire-inflator kit, except for Rhode Island and New Hampshire, where it is required by law
- Removed interior sound deadener, and carpeting from the trunk
- Replaced the standard LN4 battery with a smaller, lightweight, LN3 battery
- Specified thinner, 3.2-mm glass for the rear window, compared to 3.5-mm glass on the standard Camaro
- HID headlamps and foglights are not available
- Air conditioning is only available as a stand-alone option
And also:
The standard dual mode exhaust system and larger-diameter pipes enable improved air flow. By bypassing the mufflers during acceleration, the system increases both the torque and sound generated by the LS7 engine.
