    The driver was the chief engineer, not a professional driver.

    Yea, I was thinking the same thing.

    Holy CRAP. The stopping ability was pretty damn impressive as well.

    I still think the GT-R still has more in it, especially with the Spec V coming out, plus AWD. But man, the sound of the LS9, friggin badass. I've watched this vid 3 times already haha.

    I can't see video damn it. 205mph-WOW

    Quite frankly I am disappointed that a 638hp car couldn't beat that GT-R by more than 2sec. for that lap.

    ZR-1 has to weigh 6-700lbs less and puts out over 150hp more.

    Guess AWD really makes a big difference.

    Does anyone know if they have had an SRT at that track and if so what time it accomplished?

    He only hits 174MPH but like someone said it was not a pro driver so i bet he was far from the floor?

    I loved the part towards the end when he got it sideways...He threw his hand in the air in disgust....

    Absolutely amazing.

    Holy crap! Did he catch a little air at about 170 mph near the end of the straight? Again, holy crap!
