You know as well as everyone else...GY's suk! Michelin's have a huge play in the track times just like the Trofeo's do on the Z-28.

If he did the lap around those times, that speaks well for the C7 and its capabilities.

well it also beat a Z06 which is even more embarrassing to you because it's (Z06) much more lighter, not as much as a bhp gap and the Stingray has narrower tires.

Except the z28 did not beat a z06. C&d lightning didn't have the z06.
