Default A Symphony of Sound

I love the sound, and I'm not getting tired of listening to it.

But how legit is the video?

1st Gear: 0-84 MPH
2nd Gear: 85-124 MPH
3rd Gear: 125-151 MPH
4th Gear: 152-212 MPH
5th Gear: 213-250+ MPH

^Is that even possible? So this video is telling me it can beat most cars (maybe all cars) from 0-60, by just being on 1st Gear?

The ZO6 and ZR1 both complete the 0-60 run in first gear.

Part of the reason the regular old IS350 records 0-60 in 4.9 seconds by Road and Track is the fact that it hits 60 mph before shifting to 3rd gear. So only one quick shift (the 1->2 shift) takes place in the run.

Sounds so sick, way better than the BMW V10.

It has a deeper throaty sound to it than that video. On the revs up to about 7000rpm you can hear the 'bass' in the engine, check around for other videos where someone is riding shotgun, and then you can hear it.
