@Hayes, the difference here isn't because it's an American track...
Looks up the individual times, this is because the Cayman S was driven by Edmunds(amateurs) and the Camaro 1LE was driven by Randy Pobst(pro-racer).
I still think the 1LE would be quicker(given the same pro driver), but it would be MUCH closer.
