The 180+ mph right near the finish was nuts!!!! Great vid and great car. I'd sell some internal organs for that car.

He says Michelin Sport Cups are the grippiest street legal tire - is that because RA1 and the like are not considered street legal? Or are the Sport Cups a better tire?

Just my opinion, but yes the sport cups are a grippier tire , but come only in a very few sizes. None of which will fit a camaro unless you run 18 or 19 inch rims. |

Broke into a sweat watching that...saw a spike of 2.0G on the banking. So was this faster than its previous run???

The 2012 ZO6 is almost as impressive on the ring also. Jim Mero was also driving that too with sport cup tires. The video is worth watching.

I'm sooo glad they put some good rubber on it! I hate to see high horsepower cars bashed for not being that fast or good in the corners when all it needs is a better tire. The goodyears GM puts on everything (or used to, not sure if that's still what they use) just won't handle cars like the Z06 or ZR1. Do these come standard with the PS cups now or were they just added for the Nurbergring?
