Ride and Drive
 

I spotted this Video while looking for the Barrett Jackson auction today on the ZL1 its a woman getting a Ride in chevys corvett ZR1:headbang:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1--9...layer_embedded. I realize its not a ZL1 but had to post it !! Man thats a beast!

That was great!!! :sm0:

"Holy BLEEP!!!"

Thats kinda dangerous is it not?
And yall guys give us a hard time for street racing..
Don't even go there about this being a professional driver..
this is not on a race track on what is shown here... No safety barriers nothing..Epic fail for me
I don't care how fast the car is..
:thumbdown:

It's the same thing lots of smaller cities that don't have a dedicated race track do. Use a parking lot, mark the course with pylons, and everyone that enters signs a waiver.

WAY different than street racing. Any form of racing is dangerous, but at least everyone in this area is aware of the risks

It's a GM event. They take adequate safety precautions. :)

The drive was "The Best" 45 second ride ever !! These guys drove it like they were in a race. I thought I was good until I went for a ride with a pro. I have a lot to learn. The video is a very accurate feeling of what happens in 45 seconds.

Within GM...you have to be "approved" to drive that car. For even something as simple as getting around a show. Could you imagine not being allowed to use a product in a company you work for because it's considered too much for you to handle? :laugh:

All the drivers were from the Ron Fellows Driving School and Ron Fellows was there driving people around before I got there. But after getting a ride in the ZR1, I can see that it would not be hard to get into trouble real fast without some training in the car.
