nice vid, but the cheesy rip-off of the old Phil Collins track is really annoying

the thing about the ZR1 is that is only produces about 515-520 at the wheels, you can easily get to that level in a Z06 with headers and a few goodies, all motor
Is that so? Where is your source?

They make anywhere between 535-550whp+ according to a simple search.

535whp

570whp

530 and 550whp

Tuners are reporting super rich factory AF with people seeing 30-50whp gains from making the AF more lean.

the test I saw where they got about 505 was on Edmunds, granted it was a Mustang dyno

On this I would agree with ZX-10. The Collins tune has and will always be the best version of that song (and not just because he wrote it). A lot of the recent remakes are pretty damn cheesy IMO.

But I digress. Personally I'm sick of videos where guys are dubbing in all kinds of music and you can't much hear what's going on. I'd rather this video just be the video with nothing dubbed over it. I can hear the car fine, but I could give a crap about the producer's musical tastes. But I guess everyone wants to be a music video director, so they do it anyways.

The video of the car is cool, and that is fine. Just please stop trying to add all this faux gravitas by adding music. It's noobish, and more than a little pretentious.

Nonpoint's cover is okay - I think it could be done better.

And i agree, it has no place dubbed over a car vid - that's just emo.

Ninja please. In The Air Tonight is easily one of the best electronic songs ever. This cover sucks two dicks.

Virtually every other phil collins song is lamer, but Genesis was great.
