On to the Ring? WHOGAS.
It beat the Ford GTP by 4+ seconds on the 4 mile course at VIR, BOOM!
Don't care about the "Ring" anymore. We have our own that is plenty good enough.

They can claim whatever they want. The C7 Z06 destroyed the C6 Z06. The C7 ZR1 destroys the C6 ZR1.
The two cars aren't on the same planet. The C7 is 8 seconds faster than the C6 at VIR Grand with Mero driving both.

I watched the full video and Jim did pretty good but honestly it looked like there were 2 corners where there is even more time to be harvested from that lap time

And unfortunately, the closest you'll ever get to either is talking about them on the internet, Glen. Maybe someday somebody will give you a ride.

Nice ignorant statement junior. Good grammar as well. First Timmies was built in the States. NOT WHERE US CANADIANS RESIDE. lmfao...

Not going to argue. The new ZR1 is a beast. 170 on the front straight is just gonzo.

So to summarize
ZR1 2:37.25
Ford GT 2:38.62
Z06 2:39.77
ACR 2:40.02
918 2:43.10

I think there is 1-2 seconds off that time with a better driver. I can see few mistakes during that lap.

Great to see the new car setting such a fast time, but I do have to say that a 1 1/2 second difference over such a long lap isn't really that much.

I'm looking forward to seeing Randy Pobst drive both cars. I know he's already driven the Ford GT at Willow, but the video hasn't been released yet.

Very true.

(A stripped GT2 RS only being another 2.5s faster would actually be good news!)

I wonder what the Z06 would run with the ZTK aero instead of the Stage 3 wing? A 16mph delta on that front straight is definitely more about aero than the 105hp difference. Unless the ZR1 is underrated that is. Hmmm...

Either way, two absolutely amazing cars.

The 720s will demolish this around the Nurburgring, but that’s a different story.
