Amazing times, and I love that the Z06 finally shaved off more time from the ring.

There is one difference though. The Z07 did a flying lap run vice a standing start for the old Z06. Most car companies do a flying lap, and doing a standing start run is putting yourself at a disadvantage when trying to compare to other manufacturer's cars.

Not to take anything away from the new time and the Z07, but it just shows that the old Z06 could have probably done it in the 7:3X range, which I have long suspected.

Either way not bad for some pretty basic suspension upgrades and some new tires.
