AutoCar drives the Corvette ZR1 chasing what sounds to be a Ferrari, can anyone guess what its chasing? The ZR1 goes airborne near the end of the video.

Close to impossible to pass safely there (on a borrowed car), but a very nice looking track albiet very tight.

Looks like the ZR1 was itching to pass the car. You could tell it was holding back.

The ZR1 did look like it was ready to pounce. Cool video.

So..... its an LP670. I guess americans can build "real" sports cars.... Oh wait, the interior still looks like the base z06, well, I think, with all the money I saved on the zr1 instead of buying an lp670, I'll manage.
