2012 Corvette ZR1 Takes on Nurburgring - YouTube
Loved the sound of that push rod V8...
I love this car so much that it has almost bumped the Ruf rt12 from the top of my "Dream Car' list.

Some of the speeds he is carrying are ludicrous... I love it! I can't help but notice this time around, they are able to use those higher revs without as much wheelspin :)

The cup tires definitely helps. This guy's shifting is very good.
It's amazing how the car takes on bumps so stable.

The tyres account for almost all the improvements. They (GM) suggest otherwise but the speeds don't lie ;)

I hear that it's compromised massively for use on the road. They would say that though.

I read on one forum some guy who said "I wouldn't want to use the Cup tires on the road!" Where somebody with a GT3 with Cup tires chimed in saying he drove in rain/shine just fine for the last 24,000 miles with them.

As long as it's not below 10C, club tires are quite drivable even in the rain. 24k seems abit extreme tho.

24k miles may be miles on cup tires, but not the same set of cup tires lol

The GT3 is quite a different car.

I agree, it's more like the Z06 with the GT3 RS being like the Z06 Carbon.
The GT2 RS is more like the ZR1 for 2012.
