Based on our experience with the 305 setup we created in 2009 we know that 305s are good for 2.7 seconds at Gingerman. Those are RE-11s and the Trofeo is a street legal slick good for another 2.
Best possible ZL1 Ring time with ideal weather and Trofeos 7:41:47 - 5 seconds = 7:36.47
Best Possible Z/28 Ring time with ideal weather 7:37.4 - 8.5 seconds =7:28.9
55 degree overcast skies with a damp track suck the life out of the Trofeo tires. When I say damp I don't mean rain wet. I mean an over cast track on a cool day never gets as dry as it would on a 65 degree sunny day. Rain wet is much worse. The report from Al O states they already ran a 6 second faster lap without video. Get the same car and driver out under the right conditions and I say the time is low 29s or high 28s.
Time will tell.
