Yep. They're all phenomenal cars. I think it's a little ironic he chose the Demon over the 1LE on a track.

Yup, been thinking the same way as he does about the Camaro platform:

SS = base 911
SS 1LE = 911 S
ZL1 = 911 Turbo
ZL1 1LE = 911 GT3 RS

Wrong? Watch it again. He parked the cars and addressed them in (his) order (i.e. next...)...ZR1, Demon, 1LE.

Yeah, in ascending order of least preferred to most... he eliminated the ZR1 first because it was a little too "mid life crisis"

Your right, but you got is exactly backwards. He went from 3rd place to first.
Listen to his words.

The corvette at the limit is scary, not fun like its supposed to be. Turn the goodies off and that thing goes sideways so fast, even the best drivers would have trouble smoothing it out. They screwed the dynamics of that car up (I think the tires are too grippy and the wheelbase too short), and thats why I sold mine, and this guy can feel it too.

This is nice confirmation that we all chose basically the best new, realistically-priced car on the planet now. Good job Camaro team!

Yes. But GM states it is best to keep the nannies on. That's a lot of power to track on a street car. Can't have it all.

I want to see a more in depth video like this once the Redeyes hit the streets. The Demon is great but it's not set up at all to be on a road course. At least the Redeye has a setup that is more road course friendly.

I see videos like this with the Demon and just have to as myself why.
