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 :(

Boy does this get missed when the topic of lap times and records gets brought up.
Dodge literally sent a dedicated track team with the ACR Extreme Aero package to setup the suspension an aero specifically for each track over many laps and a bunch of time.
I would hazard to guess/assume that the same could be done with the ZR1 given the identical level of effort and time.
And lastly, completely agreed that it's an amazing time to be into performance cars when showroom stock cars are turning these incredible lap times at tracks all over the world.
