GM posted this video of the Corvette ZR1 doing a lap of the Nurburgring. It's a cockpit video with a stat overlay, showing the car hitting close to 180 mph on the final straightaway. Put on your headphones and crank up the volume, because the engine and road sounds come through clearly. You can almost feel the car hitting the apexes. Final lap time: 7:26.4.

If you can't hear the tires talking to you, then you aren't taking the turns fast enough. It doesn't matter what kind of tires you are using.
And that is a great video. Was glued to the screen the whole time.

- Great Video. Loved it. Now when my band goes on tour in Europe I wish I could take my Corvette to run at this track. Guess I will just have to do with the local track, Infineon Raceway.
