This Corvette Z06 Outrun Racing Cars At The Nürburgring

[cam346]

Though it may sport an OMP wheel straight out of a racing car, Patrick Prill’s C6 Z06 is still very much a road car. It might lack major aero, a semi-automatic gearbox, and a stiffening cage, but the burly Corvette manages to run with TCR, GT3, and other racing cars at one of the world’s most challenging circuits. But because of the differences between it (a heavier road car) and dedicated racing cars, Prill must proceed carefully, especially since this is the Friday before a race weekend.Straight-line speed is one of its better strengths. In fact, it’s fast enough to easily outrun a Porsche 996 GT3 Cup car through the straighter section after Kesselchen (5:23). Having that power is a real asset since it means Prill doesn’t have to resort to a dicey overtaking maneuver and can pass the Porsche carefully. After all, some people have real races they’re practicing for, while our man was only out for a little fun.

Geezus christ that thing flat out flies!!!! Damn impressive. Easily the best racing video I've seen.

Great race video, and both the Vette and driver were killers! He was taking no prisoners.

Any times? Or too much traffic? C6Z is the best vette north of the c2.

The driver's hand shuffling and weak wheel grip was stressing me out.

Dude can drive and car halls. Great video. Where they patched it with looks like concrete looks rough as hell.

That would be the Carousel, and yes it’s rough.
