in this video you will see the 2018 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 back on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, but now with massive exhaust dampers to quiet the car down. It obviously produced more than 100db max( I think 96db max during touristenfahrten and 100db max during industry pool). Even with the dampers it shot some blue flames! It also had some serious splitter scraping going on at some parts of the track under heavy breaking.

The 2017 or 2018 Z06 is also there with it with some hash marks on the back left hand side, I think 24 marks.

Hopefully it has a bigger blower than that 1.7L. Really like the car, although the C7 can't pull off the big wing look as well as the Viper can.

That definitely settles the debate on whether it's going to be blown or not. What I want to know is how those mid-mounted stanchions are going to keep that wing from buffeting like crazy at high speeds.

Wow thats really a stretch to say it shot flames...lol

Sounds healthy and automatic. Should be cool car minus the wing...I'm with Recon...big wang can't be pulled off as good on a vette as the ACR does.

Definitely an automatic. DCT? The shifts sounds very quick. Can't wait for them to unveil it.
