What I love about the road course is that you can literally see almost a 1/4 to 1/2 mile ahead of you for most turns. It is awesome! Can't wait to see this vid. I wonder who was driving??

Well, based on the above, I would GUESS the ZL1 in the "right" hands will run the VIR ring in a 2:53.1; I think the straightaways give back the cornering disadvantages.

I wonder what temps were for this run? Hopefully there weren't traction issues due to cold weather that prohibited an optimal time.

Agreed.....with Max Performance summer tires,I don't see them getting a good time this time of year in Va. I run PS2's on my Z06 year round & it's a totally different car when the temps are below ~60 degrees. |
