    10 seconds faster than the 458 at one third of the price congratulations Chevy 👏

    I am an engineer. My job is to create things that are as functional, as beautiful, as durable, as reliable, as light and as cheap as possible. So there is a very delicate balance between all these criteria and, apparently, the people from Kentucky have found it while designing and building the ZR1. My hat is down to them.

    "it uses leaf springs" every time i hear this argument i laugh, it uses TRAVERSE leaf springs, which is a very appropriate design for racing.

    This thing sounds like a nascar cup car. This guy is the real deal he stays in it several times when the car goes a little crazy on him
  • @KevAlberta
    I remember when this video came out. I still think it’s my favorite corvette to this day
  • @rob7486
    Dude your totally right man, every turn the tires are screaching riding the edge of the zr1's ability to grip. I have always read or heard that the corvette takes mad skill and is a drivers car, some cars will handle some challenges for you but the zr1 requires mad skill to drive like this guy. Big ups to this guy, stone cold beast.

    I've turned this video into an MP3, and listen to it as I fall asleep every night.
  • @Dawnseeker2000
    Jim Mero really is an incredible driver. He is very relaxed behind the wheel and makes close to zero mistakes. I'm fairly certain that, with more time, he could have a lap between 7:20 and 7:25. I've seen other onboard videos showing much faster laps, but this one is more satisfying to watch.
  • @Thumpr110
    This guys a phenomenal driver...I'm impressed with how well he's able to translate that much power
  • @2010NOK
    It's amazing how truly fast this car gets up to speed. I think what's even more amazing Is how fast he brakes down from 179mph off that last straight away...Damnnnnn!!!
  • @JULESRULES9969
    I love how he gets pissed when he looses traction a bit. 6:30
  • @1AAuto
    This track would be an absolute blast to drive. Great video.
  • @klimacs
    Shifting into sixth at 175mph! Love it!
  • @rw895
    Just when you think you can drive..........
  • @WoodLard
    i love how i recognize every turn in the track because of forza :D
  • @darrellcoy
    Awesome lap, that driver has some BALLS. I'd give mine to race a Vette on the ring. GTR is cool and all but just how do you beat the feel of throwing the shifter, hearing the roar, and seeing the barriers blur by? You can't....... Vette all the way.
  • @vegaman72
    My favorite Nurburgring lap of all time, hats off to Jim Mero!
  • @marty5300
    Geez.. that track is scary enough as it is, and this dude is flying around it. Some seriously impressive driving
