I really enjoyed this video.. normally the test videos are a bit meh.. But this one is like your buddy testing the car for you.

Now, where is my hidden stack of money to go buy one? :L

Did they tune out the axle hop? My c5z just hops if I try that.

Various Vette Victories

...and when you're done enjoying this bit of insanity, go to Edmunds for the Vette victory over the "Track Edition" Nissan GTR - at 1/2 the cost!!!

Dang it, that was ANOTHER video of him in the Vette. I thought it was gonna be the burnout video. This was great! GM so has to get this word out all over everywhere, to everyone! This is nothing but a total success story!

Think launch control. The positraction is electronic, so they can now tune out traction issues.

I don't think those big smoky burnouts were with launch control.

??????

Looked to me like all nannies OFF.

Still no axle hop.

Maybe you only get it with sticky tires (A6)

I think Cadillac solved that problem with different diameter drive axles and something else (shock tuning?). I would guess that there would be technology transfer between different divisions for something like that.
