General Motors has announced that its Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has navigated Germany’s famed Nürburgring in 7 minutes 26.4 seconds – besting the mighty Nissan GT-R by nearly three seconds (7:29). The Corvette ZR1 set the blistering mark earlier this morning, piloted by GM development engineer Jim Mero.
I know there were rumors about the GT-R Spec-V running the ring in 7:25 but I believe that is not an official time. I would not be surprised at all to see the ZR1 break the 7:25 mark as they really start to get that car dialed in. To put those numbers into perspective the fastest time Porsche can manage that I am aware of was a 911 GT2 wearing racing tires at 7:32. The McLaren SLR has run the ring at 7:40. I could be a little off on my times since they are from memory.

I believe the term for that is uberfast...
