That, folks, is very impressive...at ANY price!

[Number 4 had not-yet-ready-for-primetime tires, and beat the ZEE by a 1/10]

On the other hand the Viper with its power to weight should have performed much much better. They better get to work on that chassis.

I'm more impressed with the C7 than the Z/28 after seeing that. Look at the peak speeds. Hell they don't need a 650hp vette to win. Just the fancy brakes and tires off the Z/28.

The Z06 is going to rip the hell out of VIR. Can't wait to see its time...

Don't get too excited. Not sure of any racing league that races only one lap.

They all raced one lap, even playing field. I think the Continental sports cup challenge confirms it's multi lap capability. They are in first place!

And that's all I'm saying. The vette's time is the one that impressed me the most here. I would expect not less from the Z/28. After all, that was the entire reason building it.

Does anyone know if this is the first time a Camaro has beaten a Vette in this type of comparison?

Has to be the first time, and I also admit that I too, am impressed with the corvette. Now, it makes me smile to see the numbers for our Z/28 owners, but imagine what that car could do with some proper "breathing"
