A Motor Trend Epic Road trip....a Corvette ZR1 driven from München to Maranello. Simply awesome video including a 200 mph blast on the Autobahn in Deutschland and a trip through the Stelvio pass into Italia. I wish to do these things before I die. Enjoy!

Background:

The car in question is the vintage fuel altered "Rat Trap" dragster and the "race track" in question is the driveway leading up to Rod Millen's New Zealand ranch.

Inspired by the Goodwood Festival of Speed, every year the racing champion invites a selection of unique high horsepower machines and talented drivers to race the mile long single stage race course that leads to his home.

I was thinking at the beginning of that clip that the driver wasn't that good of a driver compared with the others on the track...

...then he wrecked.

Too fast, too wet, too much boost and weight back. Not much you can do to correct it when it started sliding out.

At least he passed that turkey at the finish line first.

I know it's long.. but at one point he goes to pass and the guy cuts his line so he waves at him as he's on his bumper.

1 - The sound of that Agera is intoxicating. I love how it shifts slow and doesnt make much noise at lower RPMs, but damn did that thing scream when he opened it up.

2 - How did he get through that??? I for sure thought it was going to be a wreck video.
