Just makes me sick:

Corvettes have been equipped with launch control for a few years I believe

Corvette got launch control in 2010.

Not nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be.

Nope, just a really fast Porsche getting off the line better than a really fast Corvette that didn't have launch control.

A suspension from a light goods vehicle? Also the Limey Ba$tard can't shift gears. Funny in the drag race the syncro noise is gone.

Not sure on the Vette but my 08 HHR SS has launch control and it works smoother than the GT2 by the looks of it.

it hits 60 in first, right? must be doing to 100...?

NIce....

the z06 could probably benefit from a upgraded clutch master cylinder - factory hydraulics are not the vette's best feature.

This video predated the ZR1... straight line results might be different with the new car. A Cobalt steering wheel isn't acceptable in a $100K car, though.

No it is a $100,000 ZR1 steering wheel that is in my HHR.

The 911 may still out run the Vette but I would love to see this with another Vette and a better driver. From what I see this guy has shifting issues. I think the results would be closer.

Even getting out run is ok if the presenters were not being biased and condesending toward the car right from the start. Bias or not it gives the impression they are and may not be doing their best to let the car perform. I know it may be a shock to few but the media at times is automotive biased. LA Time, Toyot.... em Toronto Star etc.

When Top gear tested the ZR1 against the R8 V10 they found that the Vette is ultimately faster around a track in the hands of a very skilled driver, but the R8 V10 was easier to drive fast.

Why did they need camera men in the cars? They had dash-mounted cameras.
