Default c7 z06 ring time?

A while back you confirmed that the z06 had successfully completed an unrestricted lap at the ring, with video. You stated that this was going to be released in the near future.

Can you fill us in on why this hasn't happened, when/if we can expect it, and what GMs reasoning is for not publishing this time yet?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Well done, these cars rock.

There are literally thousands of reasons they could have decided not to release the results yet. "Do the math" is an idiotic statement that doesn't answer anything. Don't be a jerk.

As much as the entire CF community would love to hear this, I don't think Tadge can say anything about it for whatever reason. My internal contacts at GM have indicated it's completely out of their (as in Team Corvette's) hands, but they won't include details even when talking to me.

So given that, I'm not going to put this on the poll. If it won, it would quite likely (read between the lines) be answered with a, "I can't say."

Sorry gang.

Totally reasonable. And honestly what I expected. Hopefully one day!

If he can't talk about it then he should say just that. Just so the air is clear. Regardless I think it's very odd that they can't talk about it...

It's called two Nurburgring time media releases for the price of one....love it. Some can interpret these things as slip ups...bad alignments, false info releases about the ring, etc., but one can't deny it always results in DOUBLE media exposure. No such thing as bad publicity...that's a fact.
