Anybody can run a time like that after they have moded their car well enough.

We don't know what was done to the GT500's and Boss that was run @ the ring, since Ford hasn't even released times.
We do know that a full 6 Point roll cage was used, but it is unclear as to the tires. In the 24 hour endurance video, GM was seen swapping from Goodyear F1 tires to a different tire that looked to be a Toyo R888 look alike or something.
Again, if a Cage can shave off 1.5 seconds per lap, that would be about 15-20 seconds off of the overall ring time.
A Cage makes a giant difference, I mean GIANT. My 03 Cobra had a 6 Point Roll Cage, and was a racecar minus the chute, ROFL.
On a serious note, I am more interested to see what the ZL1 would do on bone stock Street Tires, no cage, and it being an off the floor showroom model.
I'd say low 8 minute times.
