Did you guys expect this to be so bad, or were you surprised? Was it a bad lap or is the car just not that fast?

Yea I watched it yesterday and was also a bit disappointed, I was really hoping it would beat the Viper ACR's time... But I will say that for BDC they don't have to go out there and do 10-20 laps, make constant adjustments, and tweak things until they get the perfect lap. They have so many cars to get lap times for not to mention all of the other film work at the track (aka the shots of it drifting through the corkscrew). My point being that the time was probably set after only 4-5 laps and very minor adjustments so it's probably not perfect, though I honestly doubt they could do much better since it sounded like the ZR1 suffers from the same struggle to put power down as the Z06. I was hoping the ZR1 would be closer to the Performante, but it was over 2 seconds slower :(
