Great Success!

I point out that it was driven by the chief engineer, not Jan Magnussen.

:wow

That’s what happens when you give the 'Vette designers their own building, their own employees, their own budget and tell them to have fun.

Now if only it had a fitting interior. :ponder

A GT35R JDM anything could probably beat all of those times. My cousin’s brother’s uncle’s friend knows a guy who could totally fucking roast a 'Vette around the 'Ring.
