Everyone says that when the other guy beats you to the stripe first. These lap times are nice and all but 99.5 percent of these things will be on the street with everyday cars. All the gt500 has to do is perform at least closely to the zl1 at the ring and have a decent ride quality for the street, it doesn't has to surpass it. But if it stomps it at the dragstrip like the last version did to the Camaro at that time then it will be a hit. Bragging about ring times when you live in upstate New York doesn't mean a hill of beans to the guy sitting at the stoplight to you in traffic.
