What a bloody Gag that ZR1 is. I cant believe some people actually believe engineering goes into these 'murican cars. Honestly, fitting a 285 section front tyre should be bordering on criminal negligence. The less educated are astounded with the "grip" this car has without even thinking about tyres. Sure you get a crap ton of grip, but the second you even SEE rain you might aswell travel on foot.
The americans like to publish lap times now because they actually believed they have engineered their cars to be better at cornering. DING! Wrong again. Fitting hyper sticky rubber the width of a district is not engineering! It is a lazy solution selected by lazy companies to impress yahoos with meaningless laptimes when the car becomes a public danger at the sight of rain.
720s and performante achieve far superior laptimes with far narrower and safer tyres. THAT is engineering. Not a ham-fisted approach that americans possess.

CHEVY CORVETTE ZR1 SMASHES DAYS-OLD FORD GT VIR LAP RECORD 2:37.25

VIR Lap record 2y ago
2017 corvette z06 (with z07 package) got 2:39.77 at VIR Grand Course this summer due to improved calibration offered in all their 17s and onward plus they have a retro fit availa or for 15 and 16 z06's. The z06 time you have there of 2:41.32 was from the 2015 z06 when it first came to market. Both the new and previous times were from their driver Jim Mero. The new time was posted on a promo video at SEMA and again more recently he posted it personally on corvette forum in the "Ask Tadge" section. This is a new lap record and I ask that you please update this list

I thought the 5th gen Camaro 1LE was a great car but then noticing that the 6th gen 1LE was 10 seconds a lap faster. Wow.

Some of these lap times are wrong, because they were taken from the Car & Driver lightning lap test, which uses the Grand West Course (4.1 mile) configuration instead of the Grand East Course configuration.

@DodgeHemi. You do realize the GT3 RS put in nearly identical lap times as the Z06 (when it's not broken) at Laguna and other tracks.
We know at NO track is the Z06 faster than the ACR. Yet here the grand sport which has nearly 200hp less than the Z06, puts in a lap time just 3 seconds behind an ACR on such a large track.
Perhaps all that can be said is there's a lack of consistency in the laps.
whaaaa??? 4y ago
Something's definitely wrong here...the 2.44.2 time for the ACR along with the Grandsport's time of 2.47.1 etc. and all the other 2016 Car and Drive Lightning Lap times seem accurate. What's not accurate is that fastestlaps calls this the Grand East Course when, if you look at the issue, the map they say they tested on was the Grand West Course. It appears there are slight but noticeable differences between both track layouts, am I missing something here? Also, I feel that C&D has always tested using the Grand West Course. I haven't verified that or the times but I wonder how many other of these times are incorrectly posted here under the Grand East Course times??
DodgeHEMI426 4y ago
Why is that too fast? The GS Z07 has only 40 hp less than the GT3 RS and with all that aero, those semi-slicks and the world class brakes I'm not surprised it's right in there. The cornering capabilities are just out of this world. The 570 S is much less radical in terms of tires and the like so again, I was expecting this.
