If I read the article correctly, the Boss was not in the competition this year. Is that time from last year?

Regardless, it shows braking and handling are so important to having track performance. And the 1LE and ZL1 have those pretty well sorted out.

On that note, however, I am puzzled as to why an SS is 8 seconds behind a 1LE. That doesn't compute. Nor does the fact that the Z51 Corvette was only better than the SS by .2 seconds.

And the last dicussion for The House......................why is a ZL1 faster than the Z06 on this chart by 3.6 seconds. Does that even come close to making sense? Does 75 HP Make up for 800 pounds? Can the same basic brakes stop a ZL1 just as easy as the Z06?

But again for the cars that were there on that day, it sure was a great Chevy result.
