Hi All:

___This proved to be interesting although they probably burned more fuel in this one run than many of us burn in a month :rolleyes:

___The Corvette ZR-1 -- 1.1G’s on the skid pad and a top speed approaching 200 mph. We really do build a great automobile in America. To bad its on the wrong end of the fuel economy spectrum :(

___Good Luck

but wait, you can hypermile it and get 40 mpg/tank!

Wow could this video have been any more of a disaster?

I mean think about it, they've got 4 supercars, and an empty stretch of asphalt. This video could have been so much more exciting than it was.

I hope American Top Gear isn't this boring.

GM can put a great car together if they really want to. If only they would put more of that effort into their smaller, cheaper vehicles.

I agree with you, Justin. There is so much that they could have done besides a 30 second drag race. I hope we start to get some better automotive shows.

Keepvid can't find this. Anyone got the real file?

Ummmmm, no Viper! The 600 hp 560 ft lb trq Viper hits 204 mph and runs 11.5 in the 1/4 mile. Even the less aero roadster hits 197 mph!

Hypermile and ZR1 are not words that go together. That is not a car that you worry about how much fuel you turn into adrenalin.
