I'm pretty sure it's on a camera mount. If you listen again, you can hear the wind buffeting at speed.
It's possible to fake this, (re-mix the sound), but I'm convinced this is real.

You don't say if you're lowering the front, rear, or both, and what for? Looks? Better handling? weight transfer at the strip?

To me, the stock height of the ZR-1 looks fine in the front, but the...

Count me as another owner that has lost a trans while using Red Line. I'm using the Castrol/BMW fluid now, no problems.

Besides the hood,, will there be any other major body changes to differentiate the new ZR1 from the "regular" C6?

Why would you want to do that? The Borla is perhaps the most restrictive aftermarket system. The B&B is one of the most free flowing.
I do agree with you on looks though. The B&B mufflers look...
