I misread one of the statements in the article, but they did only report three laps and their wording suggests that's all she wrote. Though, where do they say the gt500 only ran three laps? It sounds like they only ran three in each, but I could be wrong.

"By the third lap, the Mustang was behind the Camaro, turning a 1:39.30. The ZL1, meanwhile, never deviated by more than two-tenths of a second."

"Meanwhile", to me, would suggest within that three-lap span. What do you think they mean?

Regardless of how many laps they ran, you seem to want to ignore the fact though that even the GT500's slowest lap after brake fade was only 1 tenth behind the ZL1's FASTEST lap and still not as slow as the ZL1's slowest lap if their 2-tenths statement is accurate. If the brakes were really that terrifyingly sloppy after three laps, why is the ZL1 only 0.12s faster in it's fastest lap of the day?
