This is what getting squirrely in a Camaro at over 240 mph looks like

Hell no they weren't! The crazy thing is that it is faster than the 231mph Vette they showcase.

I've never really done any drag strip type driving so forgive me if this is a dumb question but does one typically keep their hand on the shifter the whole time? Just seems like you'd shift and then bring your hand back to the steering wheel. Especially if you know you might be going over 200mph. Props to him for holding onto it though. Unlike that other corvette back in march.
