But even a drag of laughing gas can't match the giggle factor of the acceleration I was enjoying. Rocketing 0-100 mph in 9.1 seconds will put a silly grin on anyone's face.

So the Chevrolet C5-R race team, here to test in preparation for a race at Mosport in Canada and then a race at Sears Point in California, does what rain-delayed race teams do: Sits, talks, fiddles with the car, guzzles bottled water, glances up at the sky.

The really knowledgeable C5 elite may recognize the Z06 style front grilles, but they're not the factory stainless steel mesh. They're black. There are two more changes to the front end if you look even closer. Do you see them? Keep reading and we'll fill you in.
