I like it, looks better than the standard vents.

I don't think it's brushed aluminum (unfortunately), just silver painted plastic. I like it too though.

As far as it being different, it looks pretty much spot on with the ZL1 that debuted in Chicago.

Figure a little more then double that time difference for the longer distance track. Maybe that guy would of got closer to a 7:36 ya never know

The CTS-V was an auto also.
I think Johnny O'Connell si on the payroll and he is even faster than heinricy.

Was it an optical illusion or was the steering wheel really round? Didn't see the flat bottom. Video reference at 12 seconds.

At that price, you may not see many around. All though, who is willing to sell there left nut and a kid for it too. They will sell, just at how many and how much?

Awsome car. Sounds great.

Could not have said better myself... My wife looked at me when she heard of this new car and I couldnt even bring myself to ask for yet another new car after not even having my much faught over SS for 2 years yet....

Oh what to do...

Thanks for the pictures Freddy. They also very clearly the difference in height of the gear shift knob from the first ZL1 debut car in Chicago (Bottom) and the shorter gear shift knob in the Nurburgring test car (top).

Excellent driver in an excellent car, great videos.

Now imagine you are hitting those marks at that speed, or even faster, 60 times around. Now imagine that with 20-25 other drivers with the same size grapes or larger trying to beat you. Crap, I ran a track day @ the little paper clip in Roebling Road in GA, and I was tired after a 45 min session!!!

What do you think Ford is focusing on the most, in response to the ZL1?:

1. The "Ecoboost"

V4 Mustang because of the potential in that market (since they can't sell V6 or V8 more than the Camaros for more than 1 month at a time).
2. Making sure the GT500 has enough power and suspension to stay ahead of the ZL1.
3. Trucks, Vans, and Sedans
4. Peeing in their pants, then backing up into the fetal position on the shower floor.
5. Giving up and throwing in the towel, only after cleaning up after #4 with said towel.
6. All of the above.
