z/28 - 6.4 seconds

yeah... its fast. if you look close, you'll see that the z/28 also took that last turn much more aggressively.

That Z/28 sounds so good. And those tail lights are growing on me.

Top gear guys hate that track. Ruins the car if they try to make it perfect on that track

I'm sure its a 2013 ZL1 that is there to serve as a benchmark for the Z28 to run against.

They're also probably datalogging the adjustments the computer is making to the ZL1's suspension as it goes around so they can study the bound/rebound rates.

The way the Z/28 moves in these videos doesn't even look like a production car on the track; it moves and corners like a full-out race car. The handling looks flat, precise and glued to the ground.

Based on the comments, I was expecting more in the video. Kinda boring on the exhaust note and sounds like most every other LS engine.
