VIDEO: Monday afternoon Corvette ZR1 chase
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 in hot pursuit - click above image to watch the video
The blokes at Autocar got themselves a real live Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. What to do with it? Why not strap a camera to the back of a pretty fast car, and let the 638 hp supercharged LS9-engined beast chase you all over a test circuit like a great white hunting a seal? Or is that like a cheetah chasing down a gazelle? An eagle after a snake? A dogo argentino pursuing a wild boar? You get the idea -- the Zed Argh One is a killer and just toying with whatever's in front of its gaping maw. The lead vehicle will soon be killed and consumed, metaphorically speaking of course. And you're going to simply love what happens at 1:54. Have a watch, after the jump. Thanks to Jonathan for the tip.

My guess is, it's chasing 2009 Porsche GT3.

It sounded more Italian with more cylinders, my guess would be a Ferrari F430.

My guess too, and I've brought proof!

I never liked Corvettes, but this one... and this video... has changed my mind for sure. Beautiful idea, reminds me of the old NISMO Autech BCNR33 GT-R Sedan Video, which used the same filming principle for most of it:

Isn't that the same track that TopGear and Fifth Gear use? I distinctly remember Tiff jumping a Jag in the same area. I could (and probably am) wrong though.

I don't know about Fifth Gear but Top Gear certainly were on that track. It's Millbrook Proving Grounds. The Top Gear lorry challenge was held there for one.

It looks like Millbrook.

If anyone fancies finding out what was really in front...
If you want a guess before looking there is only one brand of cars that sounds like that :)

Sweet video!
Note to all people making car videos for Youtube:
This is how you do it. No annoying music over the top, just the soundtrack of the car(s).

Couldn't agree more

That is, if the car is WORTHY of hearing.
I'm sure no one wants to hear my leaky exhaust-ified '98 Legacy wagon doin' donuts in the dirt.
FThorn 2:03PM (8/10/2009)
Amen. Stupid music is for FAIRIES!
Farris 2:29PM (8/10/2009)
Honestly, Benfolio, I'd rather hear a leaky exhaust than some techno-dribble or Creed song.
Carlos 12:59PM (8/10/2009)
It's a 911 GT2, autocar posted the response video a while ago.
