Had I gotten on it right after it switched, I was sure to get a ticket. State trooper about 3/4 mile up from where that video was taken.

Hope that's just mic sensitivity causing it to be so loud. Way too noisy for me.

How's this? First 0-60. Lap timer showed 3.5. Full tank of gas and lack of using launch control are holding it back.

Good thing I own 3 Corvettes, am not fat, and my gold chain is very tiny. I refuse to be a meme.

Well, since you ask.

Full tank means better traction to me. I see you found a quieter place for the mic That's nice, sounds good. The run looked smooth.

And not to criticize but it appears you're near redline in 3'rd at highway speed? I downshift into 3'rd at that speed with half the tach left to perform a pass while drifting the rear. Might want to get some bigger tires or something?
