Wow! That's an amazing time, especially for rainy conditions.

That is an excellent driver...car is very well sorted out. I noticed the rpms going over 7k a couple of times. What is the rev limiter on the z28's ls7?

7:37 in wet conditions. Amazing!!!!! That means the lower 7:30s with ideal track conditions. Bet's are on that the C7 is under 7:30 and maybe even mid 7:20s.

I've got a Barolo wine bet on 7:25 ! I might not be that far off !!

After driving mine for a couple weeks, I'd love to see someone with real talent like Jim Mero put the spurs and the whip to this baby. It's a Tiger.....errr, maybe a Cheetah !!

I'll bet it takes to the Ring like peanut butter to grape jelly !!

Watching that video from a few weeks back of the C7 at the ring, you could tell it was fast. It was always under control with better traction. I think mid 7:20s might be easy.
