The Ultra-Light, 505 WHP AVI Racing Corvette GT1 - TUNED
Poziom:
Temat: Samochód
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
MATT FARAH: It's impossible to
ignore the parallels between
being in the desert and
driving a race car.
The feeling of isolation, your
having total control over
every aspect of the experience,
and if something
goes wrong, there's nothing
there to save you.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
MATT FARAH: Inde Motorsports
Park is certainly remote
enough out in the
Arizona desert.
The front straight doubles as a
runway, so it's long, wide,
and unforgiving.
Rest of the two-mile
circuit is bumpy,
dusty, tight, and blind.
And the AVI Racing Corvette GT1
is probably the fastest
track car I've ever driven.
Or if not, it's certainly
the loudest.
In-car audio not, so much.
I have no idea if you can hear
me or not, this is by far the
loudest car I've ever driven.
AVI's Wayne McKeen, after
putting tens of thousands into
a C6 Corvette CO6 to go racing,
had a revelation--
if you want to build a Corvette
for the track, why
start with a Corvette that's
meant for the street.
That's like buying a
casino when all you
needed was a card table.
WAYNE MCKEEN: I love
Corvettes.
The geometry and the engineering
that's went into
the Corvette for a track
car is unbelievable.
And we needed a stiff chassis to
complement the geometry of
the Corvette.
This car is a tube-frame
GT1 Corvette race car.
Essentially, a Corvette stock
car, with a completely
rebuilt, redesigned
two-frame chassis
that's extremely stuff.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
WAYNE MCKEEN: The body of this
car is made out of--
this current car-- is made out
of fiberglass the production
cars will be out of carbon fiber
and Kevlar as an option,
which saves about 80 pounds
to the weight
of the whole vehicle.
And the chassis itself,
dry weight is about
23-30 the way it sits.
So, getting a stock zero 6 down
under 3,000 pounds for a
race car is extremely tough.
So we wanted to also widen the
track width of this car.
This car's eight inches wider
than a C6 Corvette.
So the track width and the
turn-in and everything is so
much better.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
MATT FARAH: Every bit of this
car is designed the way it is
for three specific reasons--
to be as fast as possible, as
light as possible, and as
simple as possible to fix,
because you go to the track to
drive, not to wrench.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
WAYNE MCKEEN: AVI Racing's
mission was to develop a race
car that was user-friendly,
extremely reliable, and easy
to work on.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
MATT FARAH: Removing the
complete carbon and fiberglass
body work takes two men only
six minutes, revealing a
skeleton that is more NASCAR
than Woodward Avenue.
A tube frame chassis with every
bit of racing technology
you would ever need
lurks underneath.
There's an adjustable brake bias
with two master cylinders
powering 14-inch
Brembo brakes.
There's a 28-gallon fuel cell,
beefed-up [INAUDIBLE]
suspension, and a triple-disc
clutch.
It has modular front and rear
frame components, which means
if you crash, you can replace
the entire front or rear
section for less than five
figures in your own garage.
Thanks to the ease of access,
one man can change a clutch or
transmission in under an hour.
There's ducting, cooling, tons
of down force, and massive
square-stance 305 section
slick tires.
WAYNE MCKEEN: Most people think
of a race car as a Rolex
or a World Challenge 253
$100,000 race car.
We wanted to develop a track
day car for $60,000--
a fraction of the money--
that will compete with those.
MATT FARAH: And Wayne should
know-- he benchmarked the GT1
against his LG Motorspots
World Challenge car.
And without the restrictions
World Challenge cars face, the
GT1 is faster--
much faster.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
WAYNE MCKEEN: We've taken our
years of race car experience
and developed an extremely fast,
reliable, affordable
race car that will compete
with the top cars
out in a track day.
It's extremely nimble, it tracks
really well, corners
extremely well.
It's so stiff that it corners
like no other car.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
MATT FARAH: Under the hood,
you won't just see a
505-horsepower LS3 engine, but
a complete C6 Corvette drive
line, including the cradles,
which is not only effective at
getting the power to the ground,
but also robust with
parts available in
nearly every city
in the United States.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
WAYNE MCKEEN: The driveline in
this car, as well as all the
suspension components, can be
bought at your local GM
Performance parts dealer,
including the transmission,
the diff, the engine itself
is all available at GM
Performance parts.
So it's very easy to--
if something happens or breaks,
to get new parts.
They're not custom, except
for the chassis itself.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
MATT FARAH: It's every bit as
exciting as it looks stepping
into this thing.
It's visceral to the
point of nirvana.
It's fast, grippy, responsive,
and has the best turn-in of
any car I've never driven.
It's wonderful, rewarding you
when you get it just right,
and kicking you in the ass
when you overcook it.
I stayed out, lap after lap,
pushing the car as hard as I
could, until I realized I was
having so much fun, I'd run
out of gas.
While it's important to
remember this car is a
prototype, the production cars
will be reaching customer
hands at the beginning
of next year.
And I can't wait to drive
one of those.
Now that we found out how well
it grips on the track, let's
see what happens when you
try and break it loose.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
MATT FARAH: I got
no gas pedal.
It's got no gas pedal here.
I somehow snapped the throttle
cable, and we didn't have time
to repair it, [INAUDIBLE]
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
MATT FARAH: Though we came to
Indy to test the car, what we
got was an experience.
The people at AVI Racing are
true professionals who brought
us a great race car.
And because it's Arizona,
of course somebody
brought a Mac 10.
[GUN SHOT]
MATT FARAH: This is why like
shooting in Arizona--
the crew all brings guns.
[GUN SHOTS]
MATT FARAH: Is this thing
shooting huge flames out of
the barrel, or is it just me?
[GUN SHOTS]
MATT FARAH: Damn!
[GUN SHOTS]
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
MALE SPEAKER: Bleach on the
ground, soap on the tire.
MATT FARAH: Rental
minivan burn out.
[CAR ENGINE ROARING]
MALE SPEAKER: That worked
so good, doesn't it?
That's bleach and
soap combo, man.
