Don,t Include The Wet Lap of 997 Turbo in Hockenheim GP and See Other Lap Times I Think Corvette is Still Faster.

Yeah I know, the Corvette has better times but it would be closer if it wasn't for the Hockenheim GP lap and the lack of interest by Car and Driver to get a decent lap in the Turbo.

Hockenheim GP did not brig the ZO6 the victory, compare the lap times and you will see that they are very close, but i think the Corvette has better times

The Corvette won so easily because of the Hockenheim GP lap by the Turbo because it was a wet lap and also for the laptimes coming from car and driver, I mean, 6 and 7 seconds slower at Willow and VIR than the Z06? come on, even the M3 got a faster lap in those tracks, the 911 Turbo is about 1 second slower than the Z06, and in some tracks is faster.
