Default Video: ZR1 at Milford (better engine sound)

This run is worth your time because you hear a lot more of the engine than you did at the Nurburgring run. The link for the video is here:

Yes ok... the GTR is fast, and the V-spec will be even faster.... but they sure as hell don't sound this awesome.

Ok, now I really want a Vette. It doesn't have to be a ZR-1 or even a Z06, I just want that roar. I wanted one before, but this sealed it all.

Yeah even Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear has said that the LS engines produce some of the best sounds out there.

Thumbs up

Man, that thing looks pretty agile for what most people think of as a straight-line-runner!

As for the GT-R's, they'll probably sound whiney compaired to this..
