The video of the Viper ride is a different animal altogether. The Vette felt like a video game. The Viper felt like a roller coaster.....

damn, looks like a few times I saw 1.7-1.8G's !!!
the tires are optional equipment on the ZR1 now. No idea if they plan to produce R Compound Michelin Pilot Cups in GTR size

I wish the LFA's official times were released. Would be great to compare. So did the 2012 Corvette get any new changes besides tires to get the new time?

exactly....to be official, GT-R must use OEM tires like the ZR1 did, not aftermarket racing tires.
