Power shifting is for actual drag races and rental cars. On the street with nobody lined up next to me, I give my synchros a little time for the gear speed to spin down on the upshifts seeing as I'll be the one to pay for the rebuild.

The seat track looks busted, although the fisheye lens view exaggerates it a little.

Exactly, leaves an extra hand for the "ladies".

I'd love to take a 4l80e equipped ZR-1 with a 4500rpm stall torque converter for a rip. It would be a blast.

Exactly, that's a GoPro or other small cam with an extreme wide angle that distorts the image.
Because the top of the seat back is closest to the camera it exaggerates the movement.
Also, note that the seat back is adjusted away from the panel that backs it up. Some of us with long legs adjust it all the way back for a solid support.

I think if any ZR-1 owner used this camera, at that angle, it would look the same.

Me too, it would be a blast to just stuff your foot in it after you set the shift point to 7,200.
But you better have some extra power built in, because of the weight penalty of the 4L80e, which is almost 100lb. heavier than the ZF6
Not good for stockers.
