Something tells me that when they post a dry weather lap time we will see this car break into the 7:20 range.
After re watching the video and paying close attention he is having traction issues through out the whole run, the ambient temperature in the car starts at 56 degrees and drops to 55 degrees. There are sections in which he isn't pushing the car at all. Toward the end of the run he certainly started to back off on the throttle a good deal as well, toward the end the ZL1 Camaro is taking corners at higher speeds then the Z/28.

7:20 range?? No way. I can see low 7:30 range. 2012 Z06 did the ring in 7:22.68 and it's 3,150 pounds.
