<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The video itself is almost mind bending to watch, as Drew Cattel, a ride and handling engineer for the Camaro and designated hot foot, takes some of the corners at over 140 mph. Also of interest is he leaves the car’s new 10-speed automatic transmission—which was co-developed with Ford and is making its debut in the ZL1—in drive and never once touches the paddles as he peddles the car around the notoriously harsh twisties. The Magnetic Ride Control seem to be doing its job, keeping the car planted at ridiculous rates of speed and over tarmac that is known to be less than ideal.</div></div> </div></div>

I read that he just left it in &quot;Drive&quot; as well and let the 10 spd trans do it's job. That car is a beast, and no offense to the Ford guys, but I'm glad it bested the 350GT [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I vote new 2017. After you lose your rocketship license, then get the 69 Z.
