Nice C5 Z05 wheels on that bad boy .. ;)

However, with that speed and power and that bad of pith and roll, that car will get you into really big trouble if you try throw it through country B-roads.

I don't think I have ssen that much nose dive sine.. well since the last SVT Mustang... ;)

Deff thought the car was going to drag something under that braking. The car must be SO unstable when braking that hard because all of the movement and weight is being hurled to the front of the car. :roll:

Holy SHIT that is some nose dive! :lol: I can't believe a modern 'sports-car' has that much body roll, but I guess when you weigh 4000lb+ that's what happens...

Nth, I hope you didn't post this video with the intent of gaining support for your GT500. ;)

And I don't understand the title of this topic either, he seemed to give a pretty balanced review of the car, he wasn't tearing it apart or anything.

I think its a fun video... but it doesn't have much more roll then a F430 does... its just heavier.

I said he's beating it to death, and he's driving hard the whole time... lame jurnalist? well, he's kinda lame.

My word. Why is it diving like that. That is not supposed to happen in car "sports car" with 500 hp. I havnt seen a AMG Merc, let alone an M5 ever dive like that - and they wiegh about the same and more.

Yes it is a nice handling car car lateraly, and although it stops well because of the huge brakes, they must have misengineered the pitch and roll dynamics.....that breaks my heart :|

I must say, that is indeed some serious body movement.

Not sure how that'd feel when your in the car.

:bah: :|
