Forget that. The drive is reporting performance data recording overlays stating the C8 with lesser tires is only one second behind the C7 ZR1 on the Spring mountain test track.

The upcoming head to head competitions will confirm how good this car actually is.

And when it comes in 4th out of 5, C8 general will say how biased the testers were.

Was that the video from when they named it '2020 Car of the Year' back in November 2019?

Still hoping to get some cut rate office furniture in the "Going Out of Business Sales" that Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren, etc will soon be having. Love the Euro-look office style, great opportunity.

Matches the C7 Z06 and Grand Sport on the figure eight, not bad.

Not even in the same league as the widebody C7s.

Not sire about maybe a C7 Z51 though.

Full truth is amateur driver ZR1 vs instructor driver C8 is around 1 sec.
ZR1 with professional driver is 6 second faster

Don't forget those instructors have probably 10000 laps on that track vs the guy in video having maybe 25 or 30.... it's probably more than 6 seconds.
