2015 C&D Lightning Lap
I received a teaser today that the Car & Driver lightning lap will be released on Monday. For reference sake last year the 918 ran a 2:43; the GT-R Nismo ran a 2:49; the Z-28 ran a 2:51 and the Stingray ran a 2:53.

I was there as they were setting up. That next week when they did the test was supposed to be very warm. Reading this forum I'm surprised it didn't burst in to a mushroom cloud.

Impressive! Well deserved.
What did the Viper ACR do? Was it even there?
