With the exception of a few of the weekend warriors who play johnny race car driver ,it is just not relevant in my opinion of course. I am sure others will feel differently.

A-D-V-E-R-T-I-S-I-N-G. It sells cars. GM is selling the speedometer and shine. It's that simple.

It matters to me as it shows the cars potential and can drive around with a bit more pride. I view car rivalrys almost as close as sports rivalrys. The banter on forums can really spark this feeling.

Tadge just got done telling the world that they were unable to get a good time because of the weather when they were there and they may try again in the spring. If this was a real time it would have been released by GM with a video like every other Ring time they have done.

You can't believe everything you read. You'd think people would get that by now. Show me the video, like they did with the C6z, ZR1 and ZL1. That's when I'll believe.

Sigh. My bad.
I was responding to the first post, which was impressive.

I have been waiting to learn the 'official' Z06 lap time. It would really suck if this thread contains inaccurate information.

I'm sure it's fake, same thing horsepower 'kings' did with the Mustang 'Ring time.

On top of that the Horsepower Kings" website is infected with HTMLGen-A Malware..... Most over the counter windows based anti virus software doesn't pick it up. Sophos and enterprise grade malware protection does.




Be careful what you click on if you aren't protected......
