In-car sounds of the Garage 56 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Cup car at Le Mans | RACER

Climb inside the Garage 56 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 NASCAR Cup car with Jenson Button, Jimmie Johnson, and Mike Rockenfeller as they wind up the big V8 around the 8.5-mile 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit during pre-race practice.

Ohh MY YES!!!! I thought I could see them at first but after realizing I could not I cranked the volume UP on my very outdated but nonetheless awesome BOSE/SONY/POLK Audio surround sound, reclined in my office type game play chair, closed my eyes and allowed myself be absolutely consumed, absorbed for 14 or so minutes in the GLORIOUS SOUND of that incredible AMERICAN BUILT V8 engine. Thank you Pete,, Thank YOU indeed 😁 👍👍
[edit] Ohh,, sorry bud I didn't notice that you DID INCLUDE a video. Of course I'll be WATCHING it now that I've heard it (I think it appropriate I now insert a dumb as* Geezer sheepish grin) :boggled: I'll visit with ya's this eve during our Viper Al hosted Wednesday eve hang out and race.

Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone has some lap times for the engine swap race tonight. I am around 2.18 in time trial mode.

Curious if that will be competitive or not haha.

2.21 for the Brass Assassin.

2.21 for Midnight Special.

A .0XX difference between the two with Brass Assassin just taking the fast lap. Likely due to having more time with the platform.

So, I am capable of a 2.21 at Spa. I would hazzard a bet in the right hands they would be much faster.

I haven't had much practice lately so my braking spots are.

Keeping tires on those beasts is going to be the trick 👌

Thanks for the info. I expect to spin out a few times, so probably add 20 seconds onto my lap times haha. Haven't tested the tire wear yet.

See you on the track tonight.

@sparky69 I put on LSD action and easily’r went low 2:16 for the first hot lap. Huh.

So much power the thing can’t hang on, nor the car!

@Tomdement1 That’s the biggest, silliest looking wing you could put on that truck! Like 8000 pounds of downforce. You need a highway snowplow on the front to match that for some front grip for all those high speed sweeper freeway exits.

I just need an app to check my tire temperatures……. Found it!
 
Set a car at 500 hp/1900 lbs. Drove Sardegna money maker. Car finished at 499 hp because oil wear. Mileage trick put my car back to 500 hp. Saved me a few hundred for an oil change and that’s HUGE!
 
Free oil change tickets, now that would be useful (staring up at the sky dreaming)

So here's my problem with showing up on Saturday, 8:30am est. I'm on the wrong coast for that. But, I get it. If I'm ever up at that hour then sure.

Finally saw it and remember why I did not see it on the first time, the guy is annoying, his accent is unbearable. He thinks everyone on the track should make his life easier. Poor b*. You did nothing wrong, great race byw !

On a side note,

It would seem that the Dirt Devil is a GR1. I wonder if it has a BOP?
