Default Under 7 minute Nurburgring time
Will the ZORA be able to do a sub 7 Minute Nurburgring time?

I don't live near a drag strip, so I presume 0-60 and quarter mile times are pointless too?

What's with the clickbait title to this thread? Very disappointed.

The C7ZR1 had a 7min lap in it, so if the C8 has the same power, it'll definitely be good for it. The added aero efficiency of the center of pressure vs cog, it'll definitely tip the car over the edge. Also...if you're keen, there was a GM released C8 Corvette video that showed a carbon brake C8 that had P Zero's on it.

Why do people ask questions like this about a car that doesn't exist? Do they even apply 2 seconds of thought about whether or not anyone could possibly know the answer to a question about something that isn't even real?
