Lap Time Thread - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I see lots of talking about drag strip times. Like Al O said, straight line performance is not enough.

Can we have a thread of lap times? This car is a road course monster! Who's going to be the first to put up lap times at VIR, Laguna Seca, Road America, the RING!

*Mr. Wyndham* · 04-24-2012, 10:18 PM

Best lap time likely to be recorded at VIR by a ZL1:

2:52.4 - Aaron Link (GM: Feb 2012)

Great thread!

I will be heading to Sebring end of May for a 2 day event, I plan on comparing all my datalogs and time logs from the last 2 times I was there in my SS! I might get a HMS laptime in before that but we shall see. I can't wait to get on track with her!!

It's easier for the everyday Joe to understand and compare 1/4 mile times than times from different road coarses. I believe that's why it's talked about more. I would love to see someone take a road coarse, get regular people with ZL1s and GT500s together on the same day and have them timed independently. Then it would mean something to me.
I do however believe that the ZL1 is still going to prevail ,but I could be wrong.

I'd be posting a time for Nola Motorsports Park if I could afford a ZL1. Anybody in the New Orleans area?

Brent Hinds · 06-01-2012, 01:16 PM

Still no times from any owners? :(

This will be good! I'll let you know how long it takes me to travel home from the 1,500 miles to get mine. Usually a 24 hour drive! haha JK! Plenty of tracks to stop at on the way home though!! HMMMMM!

Stephen12ZL1 · 06-01-2012, 02:27 PM

VIR...is it the "full course" or what configuration? I believe there are at least 3 configurations at VIR.
