Nevermind. Apparently it is removed...

Thats because Channel 7 news detroit did a news story on reckless driving and published the video on the news. They immediately took it off the air, and Camillo Pardo the chief designer of the Ford GT was ticketed.

That Z06 is amazing especially when you mention that it's half the price of that GT.

Bullrun? Is he ( and the Z06 driver ) not aware that this kind of stuff is clearly illegal on public roads?

This kind of nonsense reminds me of Brock Yates of CAR and DRIVER and his " Cannonball " runs...he has had his license suspended more than once.
