Default I see the nurburgring in the background!!!

Ok it's back there but I haven't heard any times? Am I missing it somewhere? Why would they put that in the backdrop and not release times? That's gotta mean they've tested there already right? Did anybody even mention the ring in the reveal? There appears to be writing on it does anybody know what it says?

Now we know why there weren't published numbers on the Stingray.
Waiting for the Z06/Z07 to be the quintessential time...

They can't release Ring times until they have the official production car setup. Or people will call the times bogus by a "Ringer." For example, the engine still needs to undergo EPA testing, etc. So things could change.

Yeah, that could be up there in conjunction with a discussion like, "And in extensive testing at Nurburgring and elsewhere we developed... and determined... and discovered... and decided..., etc..."

Yeah but tweaked! They are still working on it and I'm sure it won't have MR going over there similarly to the Camaro Z28. This thing we are looking at is just the best mix they have to show and the final variables will vary.
