Hard to say if this should be in Car Talk or Motorsport forum?

Flat out, power-sliding in a Corvette ZR-1 at a hundred miles an hour was probably the wrong place to mockingly ask NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya if he was "having fun turning right." Don't worry, he punished me for it.

Abuses? I see no abuse. These cars are meant to do so.

That's not abusing that car, that's what it was built for.

If only I could drive that confidently.

I wonder if the public is occasionally allowed on the "Lutzring"?

I haven't been a Corvette fan since GM removed the Stingray shark fenders. BUT, the ZR-1, I must admit looks good and is a beast, as you can see from the vid. I did want to see him break the rear tire in a turn though.

I literally felt myself getting pulled into my office chair everytime he mashed that throttle.
The ZR-1 has such a great exhaust note.

That looked like a blast. It seems that the only real chink in the ZR1's armor are the tires.....especially with JPM at the helm (whose tire treatment was probably the reason for his fade to 7th yesterday at Michigan).

If any of you get to drive even a Z06 do it. I've had my old bosses Z06 a few nights to take home, and I've had it at the drag strip and a road course, and let me tell you, it's fun drifting a $100,000 car around a track.
