If you haven’t driven 600+ HP cars before, don’t! If the Corvette ZR1 didn’t have several self-governing features incorporated into it the average driver couldn’t handle it on the street. This guy should have sold it immediately without driving it. Darwin award.

I get it. Hell, I get in enough trouble with a mere 300 or so horses in my Mustang. I’ve already proven that I can’t be trusted with it. :-)

Yeah, that kind of power is no joke. I got used to it, but it took some near escapes and just shear dumb luck that I survived. Wound up being a Hell of a driver though, if not totally in disregard of all traffic laws. I did manage to out race a Ferrari Testarrosa in down town two-lane traffic, pole position style, at speeds pressing 110 mph, and hit a top speed of 220 mph on the autobahn.
