Riding Shotgun in a ZR1 Goin’ For It

Posted by MotorChris On April - 28 - 2009

zr1speedAlright, I gotta lay my cards down here. As much as I would like to say this is Dan and I speed testing a ZR1 above 200mph, it’s not. Yes, this is the “drives” section, but we never specified that it had to be drives by us. Just like anything else we do, it’s just got to be a drive that kicks ass, and this drive certainly does. You probably saw this video circulating last year so you might be a little upset that we’re bringing you old news. Here’s our point: when is riding in a car going 207mph old news? Exactly, never.

To us, the best part about this video is it makes you feel giddy like a kid again. We’ve all dreamt of driving some super hot car on a closed track with the sole purpose of maxing it out, and this video gives you a tiny glimpse of what that might feel like. When the passenger gives the driver the go-ahead nod, we as fanatics can feel the driver’s anticipation and excitement. As the digital speedometer blurs to the 200 mark, the long white lines blur to almost a sold line. Passing cars that could very well be going faster than we’re legally allowed on public US roads like they’re standing still, this is the stuff motorfanatic dreams are made of.

So no, this isn’t Dan and I driving and yea, this video’s been out for a while. But it’s still rockin’, and I really think you owe it to yourself as a fanatic to get a glimpse of a 200+mph run. Check it out here

ZR1 Goes For It…all 200mph of it.
