I am simply stating that if you are going to bloviate as if you are the smartest guy in the room, you should be careful to include all of the facts available, not just the ones that support your side of the argument. Running a 7:31 puts the Z/28 in a completely different group of exclusive cars at the ring in which the mustang just simply does not compete. Period. Point. End of story.
The 7:31-and-change was run when others were on-track and/or on-property. a "gentleman's agreement" exists where, when other prototypes are present, cameras are turned off, excepting a short window near the end of each day...

As I quickly found out, several years ago, it is NOT a simple "plug-n-play", deduct this and add that proposition. DEVELOPMENT CO$T$ exist, and MUST be covered in the final price.

See Number 3's astute posting in the Houze of Z thread.
