Well it is good to see what my car can do without me having to find out myself. The ride though the video did not scare me too bad... In fact several spots in the video and I know good and well my foot would have hit the floor boards lots sooner.. anywhoo... They don't pay me to test the Zl1...
But that ZR1 ride? I bout shart my pants when he hit 180....THAT IS WAY TOO FAST for a production street automobile... that guy driving the ZR1 probably has a dish of nuts the size of Cantelopes... My word that is fast.... The ZL1 is a puss compared to that.... Can't wait to get my car though. I wont ever have to push it to much passed 100 cause I can always watch how fast it CAN go from the saftey of my home and computer desk thank you very much. Its fast enough for me...no mods for me. Anyone that would mod this car to make it faster than it is on for a street environment would have to be a quart low upstairs...Just saying. Car is plenty fast bone stock. The only thing I might remotely would want to consider would be putting the ZR1 tires on the ZL1.

I wonder if a professional race car driver experienced with nurburgring took it around the track if it would do better..
I know some manufacters hire professional drivers to take cars around nurburgring where as GM uses engineers.

I was wondering who drove it as well, and how many times they did it to get the best time they thought that they could...

I don't think we have seen the last time the ZL1 hits the ring, its only a matter of time before the LS9 becomes optional for the ZL1 imo.

Well it was GM's engineer (test driver) Aaron Link. He did 40 laps. The guy can drive no doubt about it but I do know in the CTS-V 4 door sedan call out. There was another GM Test driver (John Heinricy) that beat him by like almost 2.5 seconds. That guy ran a 2:46.5 to Aron's 2:48.9. Figure a little more then double that time difference for the longer distance track. Maybe that guy would of got closer to a 7:36 ya never know

interesting comments about the next gen camaro and awesome video.
Agree with everyone on the size f this guys balls. Lol would never be able to do that, wish I could though and yeah that last turn gave me a heart attack, thought he was going into the wall The ZL1 insideline saw was obviously a ring prototype but the not the speciifc individual(car) that set the time. extremely cool though
