Big time!! Believe it or not, Gran Turismo 5 has this track nailed to a tee. Nurburgring was the only track I raced on. Its been a long while since my wife kicked me off the game for playing too many hours straight but watching and knowing the track is pretty cool. The high speed bumps before corners, all the bumps for that matter, the banked sweepers....all that stuff you feel when playing Gran Turismo.

Man I miss that game!!

To bad your out in Minnesota. I used to race on line with my buddies for 8-10 hours straight with surround sound on the 52" plasma and the electric bill went through the roof so she cut me off.

The track in the video is the development track at the Milford Proving Ground where I work and where Hot Rod Power Tour ended this year.



The note on the white board part way through the video was a note to me to try a new engine calibration.

The ZL-1 Camaro is AWESOME! We beat the hell out of both the manual and the Auto at the MRC for the test. Basically we just kept putting fuel, tires and brakes on them and kept rolling. They are very easy to drive fast. Lots or power, grip and brakes.

I did tell the Camaro team it could use another 200 HP…

But if you want the fastest production track Camaro ever built see your local Chevy dealers.

This is a video of the ZL-1 at the Nurburgring!



This is the same Camaro Development team at the Nurburgring with Aaron Link driving. Aaron works at GM as a ride and handling engineer.

So just wondering at 172mph is this the FASTEST productions Camaro ever Just sayen Man do I want one of these now.

We have not run V-max yet but I would have to say this it the fastest production Camaro ever. I'm sure it will be in the 180 + MPH range. A stock CTS-V did 193 MPH with 556 HP this car had 580 HP.
