Man! what a day. The bad news keep coming...
Porsche's head of powertrain accused of colluding with Chevrolet at the Nurburing.
According to AP Routers an ever so diligent stop-watcher has come forth with damming evidence that not all is as it seems at the Nurburing. Equipped with a special transparent material detector camera and puzzled by the strange and never occuring possibility of two competitors brands attempting record runs at the same time...the unidentified onlooker captured the moment of truth for the world to see:
Joerg Kerner, head of Porsche's powertrain development and track results marketing confessed during police apprehension related to previous misdeeds: brutal competition pushed me to it!! and Tadge needed more free time at the track...it seemed like a win-win ...at the time...

It's on good authority that the Actual ring time was not 7:12 but 12:07

No the Camaro's properly aligned, and slated to do the deed!

The FE Vette just can't compete and pull those bucks.
The Camaro's got the Mustang!

Monticello today Some guy was running a Z06 Hard. This is what his ceramic brakes look like. Unreal they let him out with the brakes in this condition. Attachment 48276696

very interested to see your findings.

It is both comical & sad, that this thread, will likely reach 30+ pages with grown men (and in some cases women) wetting their pants over little more than unsubstantiated noise.
Are we as Corvette owners really that fragile of a species?
Apparently so.
Who gives a flying f*ck what the ZR1 turns at Nordschleife?
Less than what, 3% of Vette owners ever put their cars on a road course in the first place, so this is little more than internet & cars & coffee foppishness.
Worse than gossipy old ladies...
Meanwhile, I had a blast at Dominion's Instructor Refresh last weekend and open track day on Sunday. Great people, and a great venue!

These threads are easy to avoid for anyone, but they're the most fun to read for me compared to all the other mostly cosmetic ones, even if it's speculation. And competition is the ultimate driver of innovation and improvement. If there wasn't competition between companies we'd probably have a 300 hp top of the line Corvette with crappy aero right now.

Supposedly the composition of the rotors and pads on the ZR1 are different and designed to better handle high temps. The brake cooling is also different but I'm not clear how much better it is. I guess we'll see.
