wow - Heinricy went to work for Hennessey? I hope he gets paid in cash Hennessey's cheques are not really worth anything ;)

And if they did post a 1:38 lap, then why not show that lap with telemetry.

Hate to say, but for the cost of the ZR1 plus the mods, a 1:38 is not that impressive. - it's farging fast, but not that impressive - stock 996 GT3 with a good driver will run 1:40.

The PS2's are the limiting factor, and for a true comparison, I would like to see what Heinricy could do with a stock ZR1 at MSR.

The most impressive part of the lap is the 140mph+ back straightaway speed - thats fast.. but the mid corner speeds are not that much more than a well driven C6 Z06.

This is all true, but was he really at 10/10's? What if he was just at 9/10's etc for testing purposes?

Still - anything with Hennesseys name on it I take with a HUGE grain of salt.

I bet thats why they hired Heinricy, to get some legitimacy to their claims.

I find it odd that they claim a 1:38 lap, but dont have telemetry/video of it.

Were you able to glean anything from this video, RC? While the lap time isn't displayed, was it a good lap time? How does it compare to that of Camzilla's?
