Outstanding! ;)
The A8 ZR1's going to the Nurburgring. I wasn't sure there was interest being its not selling in Europe.
There is! He drove well.
Same as the ZO6! (7:12!?
Speed!)

The ZO6 has the right tires!
More straights, and speed, will help the ZR1.
It needs a cooler ring though. The ZR1 can really put the hurt on those tires sliding around like it does!
Looks like you have to be a GM Engineer driver to wring out a time.
fastestlaps posted this time having ignored the two VIR times.
The Unofficial Ford GT time didn't make it either.
Expect continued mediocre results!

I'd love to see a a ZR1 track pack above ZTK that really focuses on lightening the car like they did with the 5th gen Z/28 and the spool valve shocks from this 1LE.
I understand that they want to make everyone happy with the ZR but the us definitely also a market for a stripped down ACR type vehicle too. It'd be pretty hard for the C8 to beat a ZR1 equipped like that too so that might play into it not being available.

the question is, is the market as big as some of you think? The Z28 was like 70k and sold terribly. Say they cut all the bells and whistles and cut 200lbs and it’ll be very harsh ride, how many are going to pony up like 150k plus for it? Last time I checked ACR also Sold poorly. To me it’s soemthing that has to be sold in limited numbers like 1000 or less.

Let’s do some math
Every 1 min, ZR1 has an advantage of 2.5 seconds over ZL1
1LE ZL1 just put a 7:15 s in Nurburgring
2.5*7 = 17.5 s
7:15 - 18 s = 6 min and 57 second
I don’t think ZR1 is can go further than 6:55.

I was going to do this! ;)
7:16.04/ 1:09.6 = X/ 1:06.9
6:55 is close to VIR slower calc
6:57.32; but straightaways of plenty; ***** (same driver ZL1 not!)

For a ZR1 to be quicker than a ZO6 there needs to be a track which allows drivers to use LT5's extra power and ZTKs aero.
It's not.

Interesting that GM Engineers and their VIR laps are mentioned. Even more interesting is that the car they used was an automatic and they used PTM.
