If Chevrolet wants to be taken seriously on the world stage, and be in the same conversations with the Porsche 911 GT3 and Nissan GTR, they will need to be able to handle variable weather.

The logic is that, there is no point in Chevrolet seeking a better time, in better conditions. They have, potentially, earned more credibility within their target peer group by posting a respectable time that was achieved under less than perfect conditions, than by shaving 5 or 6 seconds, in a perfect weather "Glory" lap.
