I think the Vette does very well at Nurburg ring does it not?

Yes, just last year the ZR1 took the crown. The Z06 is just slightly slower. They moved to Mich Pilot tires in 2012. Cool videos.

What's the odds of the new 2014 Vette having lots of first year new model problems?

About the same as any first model year vehicle.

I surfed Ring times, and my info was dated. That damn GTR beat the ZR1 again. Several cars have run sub 7.20 times now.

Go Nissan!

Peter and I can sit a little taller in our Maximas today, I guess. Which means that our heads will probably be sticking out of the sunroofs.

My Maxima bears little resemblance to a GT-R. I'll continue to slouch.
