2015 Corvette Z06 Sets [7:06 ESTIMATE] Nurburgring Lap Time
For real??
I think it'll be close (7:06-7:10)... but maybe even in the low teens at worst. We'll see soon... GM will make an official announcement. Read more below. ----- 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Sets Nurburgring Lap Time, 7:06 Estimate Precedes Official Info - Video http://m.autoevolution.com/2015-chev...deo-96294.html By Andrei Tutu | 2015-06-04 14:16 GMT The Nurburgring lap time of the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 adds up to the massive stir the blown ‘Vette has generated just like an earthquake replica might just be more serious than the initial event. |

All the purists bemoaning the LT4 need to read that last paragraph.

Yeah, if only they could have made substantial gains like the LT4. A whole 12 hp with direct injection, variable valve timing and higher compression. That's just unreal. A 1.8% increase in power is impressive. A 1.8% increase on the LS7 would have only been 9 hp.

You're missing the point. But whatever.

Dude the ACR has the ability to generate 1,000 lbs of downforce at 150 mph. If the new Z06 can beat that then that's certainly impressive and goes to show just how insane the Z06 is.

No, I understand the point. Everyone else is going FI so GM feels like they need to as well. All they had to do was call this ZR1 and there wouldn't be any issues.
