I have two thoughts for those doubting what a ZL1 can or can't beat:

1) The ZL1 ran any awesome time by anyone's standards, it put down a 2:52 and a lot of other great cars haven't. Maybe those other cars could in theory run a 2:52 also, but they simply haven't yet.

2) If you are in disbelief about the ZL1 beating any particular car (e.g. GTR, Z06, whatever) at VIR, just remember those other laps were done on different days with different drivers.

But at the end of the day ZL1 still ran a 2:52, and until someone proves that this ZL1 was a ringer or on race tires, the ZL1 is simply in exceptional company even if another car like the GTR is "better" or beats it on another track somewhere else.
