Also, it should be noted that GM doesn't even share all their times. Sure, they'll often do it with a high profile car like a Camaro or Corvette, or V-series Cadillac. But cars like the Buick Regal GS were tested on the 'ring too, and I don't remember ever seeing a time for it. Why? Because the primary reason they go is to subject the suspension to the widest variety of conditions in the shortest time possible.

Using that logic, they would have advertised times for the Boss 302 Laguna Seca. Because
that was their freaking monster bad MOFO Track car a few years ago. And in 2011, they would have had extremely little to lose by touting a track time for it. There was no Z/28, 1LE, or even ZL1 Camaro to be compared against, not for a while at least. But they still didn't do it.

Nuremberg: symbolic home of the German Nazi party, also where many of them were put on trial after WWII
Nurburgring: a very famous circuit that, among other things, is commonly used by automakers as a testing ground for suspension setups
