Hope they do this again on a dry track, time needs an asterisk.
I read somewhere that they thought dry would cut it by about 6 seconds.

One of the GM engineers said they saw several laps in the 7:31's during testing, but they didn't have the Cameras and everything set up to make the time official.

whats awesome is if they show a 7:31 lap time that is what was spectulation on the red gt500 with the roll cage, so if a na car can hang with a boosted car and caged, ford doesnt want none

...and I agree, it got a bit comical once the wipers came on and the driver had a few handfuls of steering wheel to deal with.....nice finish I must admit with the adversity! Good run despite the conditions.....

Fantastic times especially considering the track was wet, you could clearly see at that point the driver had to back off the throttle slightly. I believe Chevy's claim of the 7:31 in perfect conditions. One thing I will say is this car is begging for more power as evident on the long straights. Another 50hp would really let this car shine.
Also in regards to The Pill, I wish he was still in this forum. While he trumps his mustangs while down playing the Camaro he is a wealth of knowledge and always seems to have insight info regarding Chevy development.

As a 'Ring addict since 20+ years, I can only say one thing: impressive, given the time of year that this time has been set.
Weather makes a HUGE difference there, and even a slightly damp track, is pretty slippery. |

In summer it can easily get up to 35 degrees Celsius there; however, the past weeks it's about 12 degrees Celsius... Edit: just noticed it showed 55° F on the display too. Awesome Last edited by PeeBee; 10-18-2013 at 08:56 AM. |

Norm and Baylor Camaro are not punks acting like idiots on the Mustang site. They are a counter balance and correct misunderstandings. I have read a number of posts on several forums regarding the Trofeo tires on the Z/28 at the Ring. They are not special tires for the Ring. When the Z/28 delivers off the showroom floor, it will be wearing Trofeo rubber. Posting that information on other sites should be welcome. Enthusiast forums are like a local bar. There is nothing wrong with spirited discussion. We welcome members from other brands here on C5. The caveat is, they are expected to comport themselves as guests in our house. When the big power GT500 was released I was quoted on another forum, I think it was SVT, a number of times and raked over the coals. I registered for the forum to clarify a number of mis-conceptions, but only after asking the moderators if I could post as a guest even though I am a vendor. The moderators did a great job. They actually supported me. Forum give and take executed with respect is a win win |

And as far as rainy/damp conditions go its anyones wild guess how much could be improved off that, on most tracks it could be 2-3 seconds, on the ring it could be 9 seconds. But you never know... AND I DO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS, just because the car should be '6 seconds faster in the dry' doesn't mean that its going to happen, think about it when people say 'well it could have done this but...', Yeah maybe it could have, but it didn't.... I did watch the video and the track was mildy damp until it started raining which clearly gave him more problems, (and yes I am impressed with the driving I said nothing about the driver). My point is I wish GM released a time that actually represented the cars full potential. (yes it can be argued that this makes the car looks better but it depends how you look at it) Either way once motortrend and others get their hands on it we will have Laguna Seca lap times and VIR and every other track we can think of especially because of the car it is. And yes I do care about the numbers, who doesn't? What is the point of a performance car if it doesn't perform? I hate the 2014 body style but I love the Z/28 it wears it beautifully, I only wish I could own one and maybe one day I'll have the opportunity. But until then all I can do is sit and wait...
