The Z28 is also there. Looks like it might be Adam Dean driving again.

At the :45 second mark on the ZO6 video it sounds to me like a manual transmission. Thoughts from you all. Or maybe just a lazy paddle shift in tour or sport mode on the A8 ?????

Wow awesome. Based on the fact that I can't see a clear section on the rear tail, is this a non-Z07 car? Seems like the wrong choice for laying down the ultimate lap time no?

It's definitely a Z07. The beginning picture of the video you can see the large winglets. At the final picture in the video the plastic center insert is evident.

God it looks good in yellow. It's really the best color on the car in my opinion, I just couldn't ever bring myself to own a yellow Corvette.

Best,
Gene

It sounds like such a brute.

Z06 out to eat little BMW turbos on the ring, it heard that's where they are hatched.

^Yeah, I'm with you on the yellow.
OTOH, of all the yellow cars I have ever seen, this Z06 in yellow tempts me.

BTW, I could see there is a real speed differential in the videos between the Z28 and the Z07 around the track...it is obvious to the eye.

That's probably the ring taxi, which a BMW M5 I think.

Good Lord that thing sounds evil, and they ain't even pushing it. Hope the weather cooperates and give them that one good run! 😉

You can see Jim Mero with his blue and black driving gloves in the first still shot of the video. Same gloves that he used in the ZR1 7:19 run. They are just putzing around with their windows down. Wait until he gets serious and does his fast lap. Those windows will be up. Watch the start of this ZR1 video and look at his gloves.

Looks and sounds great.

Is that an M3 around the 0:15 mark?
