It’s wild how the C8 ZR1 from the other video is only 6K more than the GT-63 SE Perf but runs 28.9 at 159 MPH, a whole 11 MPH faster and 2.4 seconds quicker. The performance value Corvettes have is insane

So in the Mercedes, you set the Stability Control to “Master” and then all the other settings to “Race” … no one in Germany thought about this?
