They could have ran a M7 version. Pretty sure they wrecked a car during testing as well. It is still interesting as to why they never pursued it. They must have expected a great disappointment in comparison to the older Z06, ZR1 and other GM models. Remember cars arent supposed to regress ...

2012 C6Z holds the 3rd quickest time, nice!
Quickest Z06 on the list to date with older technology and no power adder.

^^^ The saying there is no substitute for power also applies to light WEIGHT.

All factors, weight being one of them, come into play. Ultimately, based upon the sum of the pieces, the vehicle performance is what it is. Shortcomings and strengths become known, and that's what makes comparisons so interesting.

In 2015 Autoweek reported that the C7Z had run the "Ring" in 7.08. However, Chevrolet denied it most likely because they didn't want to take the heat regarding the ban on record runs. The denial was the result of Nurburgring officials banning record attempts after Nissan GTR took off on a high speed crest and left the track, killing a spectator. Theoretically the C7Z should run it in 7.05 according to GM engineering numbers.
