Jimmie Johnson Driving a Corvette C6.R
Well, we've seen Juan Pablo Montoya drive a ZR1, and Road and Track do a Road vs Track comparison of the ZR1 and the C6.R, so how about now we watch NASCAR dominator Jimmie Johnson go around a track while driving a C6.R. This is a great video, and really the true highlight of last week's SPEED Channel Test Drive:Corvette special episode. The video begins with Jimmie and the show's host Tommy Kendall chatting to one another while driving around the track in, respectively, the Corvette C6.R and the Corvette ZR1. The praise these two knowledgeable, intelligent men bestow upon the cars is really just impressive. Jimmie Johnson has nothing but great things to say about the Corvette Racing C6.R, and he really takes it out and opens it up on the course (maybe too much?). Johnson has nothing but compliments for the C6.R concerning its grip, power, and response, and that really doesn't (and shouldn't) come as a surprise, and that's the thing about the Corvette always makes me smile most: no matter who's driving, whether it be a first time driver or one of the world's most dominant and experienced race car drivers, anybody behind the wheel of the vehicle has fun and really praises what the Corvette does.
