I realize the ZL1 guys have a really hard time justifying the Z/28 being that much quicker at any given track. But the fact is, it is. Take VIR for example. A 4.2 mile track where the Z/28 was almost 7 seconds faster. Times for each, 2:50.9 vs 2:57.5.

Again, on the Nurburgring, at 6 minutes the Z/28 is 10 seconds ahead of the ZL1 when the rain starts. Think about that, 10 seconds. So magically, the ZL1 gained 6 seconds over the last minute and 30 seconds? I don't think so. Had it not rained, the gap would've gotten longer and longer. I was being conservative when I said 6 or 7 seconds. I honestly think it would've been more.

And don't bring up the tires. This conversation is about what the cars can do from the factory...because we could always say, slap a blower on the Z/28 and the gap would be even higher.
