    Great vid but actually I think the sound might have been dubbed on after, the exhaust does not seem
    to change volume and you hear very little wind or road noise at any speed.

    And in some rain!

    No it sounds good, from outside even better

    When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

    I like that they are keeping the ls7 alive thru the camaro but this thing cost more than a lsa powered zl1!

    Awesome vid and I think the sound is live, probably got the mic external near the exhaust.
    You hear the tyres squeal from time to time.

    Good one.
    Nice brakes too, the big stop prior to the hairpin 140 to 50 mph really easy

    The Z/28 looks to be a far more track focused package than the ZL1. The Z/28 has a fair bit of interior trim removed and has a dry-sump LS7 instead of the wet-sump LSA and most importantly it also has carbon ceramic brakes (the brakes are probably where the extra cash goes, they aren't cheap). Ther Z/28 keeps all the cooling kit as per the ZL1 so they have made a big effort to keep it reliable on the track.

    Below is a link featuring many of the specs of the Z/28.

    Reading the review on Autoblog. They say Chevy repeatedly told them this car is not to be used as a daily drive.

    Hey Seldo
    Only had time to watch a few minutes of the vid. Wasn't aware of Sean prior.
    How come the fast guys look like they are driving to the shop to buy milk in the onboard shots, but balls out fast out the window?
    Rhetorical question.
