Exactly what I thought. BMW is only 4.0L and not a sequential box

 

[ponyboyisaac]

Noice.

 

[jrd699]

Ahhh. I've had better!

Nah not really!

 

[99BlownVert]

yeah the bmw was slightly pulling him in the straights

Nice driving!

Keeping with a turner motorsports car (big $$ outfit / amazing drivers) means your doing something right...

All Rolex cars have sequentials

Whelen has some cash too lol. Badass car, they seemed to have it dialed in pretty good.

Looked more to me like the BMW just simply cleared through traffic before the Vette was able to.

God I love watching vids like this!

 

[Stopsign32v]

Not even close to the best sounding V8

 

[CobraBob]

Nice video, and I was so hoping the Vette would blow by the BMW. But, it wasn't going to happen. Now I'd like to see/hear an in-car video of that BMW!

 

[Paulinator]

sounded alright

 

[whiplash306]

:-(..... How come my Corvette doesn't sound or shift like that???? I want my money back! hahaha... INCREDIBLE!

 

[Silver2003Cobra]

definitely sounds good.. and nice shifting (wish that I could do that, hell, wish an automatic was that fast)

 

[1badsilversvt]

Nasty

That engine has more power than 2 of those BMW shitboxes could ever hope to produce combined. However the C6R engines are forced to breathe through restrictors, two holes barely larger than an inch in diameter. They do this because the C6R is far superior (both powertain and chassis) to every other manufacturer that it competes against.

Whelen's isn't a C6R though. The C6R's compete in the ALMS GT class and their rules are much different than Grand Am's GT class.
