Live Video: Editor Takes Several Laps In 638-HP Vette

At 3:30, check out Jeff's reaction, as the professional driver begins to shift into gear, burning rubber!

Don't try this on the back roads or on the open highways boys and girls, unless you want to end up in a ditch. Jeff Fortson, the editor of JeffCars.com, takes several laps in Chevy's Corvette Z06, with a professional race car driver, at the Texas Motor Speedway.

The base ZR1, which lists for approximately $106,000, is capable of kicking out 638 horses from underneath the hood and can zoom from 0 to 60 mph in just under 3.4 seconds. In fact, this is Chevy's fastest mass produced Vette in the history of the company.

For Jeff, the experience of being a co-pilot was like riding a roller coaster. As you can tell from viewing the video, he could barely keep his behind planted in the passenger seat, as the professional driver was topping record speeds, while cornering the track. Now if this Vette is out of your reach, check out our review of a convertible Vette, with a little less horsepower, but with just as much sting.
