Cool car sounds nice with that whine going. I am surprised how much it squats on accel and guess they need a sft rear to get the power down.

Why not? If the projected numbers are correct, there will not be too much out there touching the ZR1. And it looks like it handles extremely well.

the zr1 uses a magnetic fluid style dampner so that when the car sense the throttle angle become more wide open it softens the rear to help increase rear grip

the exhaust on that zr1 could barely be heard in that video. the other zr1's that i've heard sound way more badass
