If that isnt the biggest link i've ever seen.

8 minutes lap. I was expecting the regular car to post a low 8 min lap not the Z06.

It is some 18secs slower than Magnussen's (?) lap. :shock: I wonder why there is so much difference. The track is dry as the sun is low on the horizon with lower temps, I am guessing the engine is making good hp.

I think if Mags drove the other hyper cars for Sport Auto we would see even better times for them. The Mag Factor! 8)

Sport auto arent showing their flying lap

and yes, thats why Magnuson, and Rohl are simply eons better and more suited for a true flying lap on NS.


also, isn't the Z06 supposed to be twitchy, and uncontrollable on NS? that lap looked extremely smooth to me... not a bit of countersteer, and hardly any throttle balancing...

an easy lap in a C6 Z is 8:00 minutes

No such thing as an easy 8min lap around NS
Yeah, no kidding. Show me an everyday track junky that can get times factory drivers/racers are getting on the NS.

Sure, an 8 minute lap of NS isn't easy... but for this driver, he was taking it easy.. running at 9/10 in what may have been a warm up lap... as obviously, the timed lap that HvS ran was still 13+ seconds quicker I dono about you, but 13 seconds is A LOT, and that taped lap was "taking it easy" for somebody like HvS
