In some cases, people make it out like all GM did was hop into a production ZL1 and turn in a 7:41 their first time around the track which is far from reality. It may have taken them hundreds of runs to get that time and do we have any evidence they were ever able to back it up with a similar run? Repeatability does mean something to me and others I know.
I recall seeing 40 laps, over the course of 3 days. Not sure if that was just one driver (Aaron Link) or the entire team.
