Yes there is a Way!
All evidence is that the Z28 was out there to do business and the Vette was out there for some tweaking and photo Ops. The Vette wasn't ever seen carrying the speed that the Z28 was.
I think they made the calculation they didn't have anything to gain. We all new what would be exceptable and if they didn't hit that!? Or if it did exceedingly well many people might make the calculation that they didn't need a more expense variant.
Lose/Lose!

Look again...the Vette was running 10/10ths in more than one shot. We never saw either car in that video run a full lap so the rest is up for speculation what transpired during that day(s) at the RING. Maybe the C7 never put together a full lap at 10/10ths. Possibilities are numerous but there is data regarding "best lap for C7" even it was not perfect or published.

Just a guess as 7.37 for the z28 is insanely quick. The fact that the track has some portion in the rain could have been a factor as well.
I'm betting the z28 with no a/c or radio and 305 s all around lapped equal to or quicker so gm is keeping the ring time quiet ....
I'm a corvette guy and not a trolling fool ....just voicing some possible logical explanation...

CCs are another way!
If the C7Z51 with the irons does well it discounts, and even discredits the use of the CCs (which the Z28 has) for the longer nasty track!
