Surely there are other factors that should be considered... no one lap on ANY track can be the only consideration of a car's merit.

But the car did run a 7:31.9 in the dry, its just not official w/ video GM has the telemetry. I don't think GM has ever been shown to lie about their ring times. Unlike Nissan who has done all kinds of modifications and used different start stop lines before everyone else did.

Maybe you didn't read that they did a lot of laps some in traffic and all were sub 8 minutes.

Telling you that my 1LE ran a sub 3 minute VIR tells you almost nothing about the car. |

From what I can gather, during the MFG week, there is a professional courtesy at work to only shoot in car video after 4 or 5 o'clock. This allows all MFGs to test yet to be released vehicles without concern of of them showing up on an in car video during the bulk of track hours. If you run after a certain time in the afternoon you know there will be video. |

Corvette on ring modded.
Just thought I'd post another GM bad boy destroying the ring.

Yesterday I upgraded to 1000lbs Eibach ERS springs, I think I was right, Hyperco springs does feel softer than Eibachs , even the 700lbs Eibachs made the 950 lbs Hypercos feel soft. The car is now more stable and quicker in transitions and feels way lighter and still very streetable.
