Corvette ZR-1 knocks four seconds off 'Ring time
Back at the Nürburgring, the hot Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 has just ripped four seconds off its claimed 7:26 lap. The new time, with Jan Magnussen at the wheel, is a claimed 7:22.4 for the full 12.93-mile loop. While the number is pretty bloody fast, it is still .3 seconds off the time earned by the Dodge Viper ACR (ouch, those three tenths really have to hurt!). We take these lap times with a grain of salt, as we've yet to see everyone on the 73-turn course under the same conditions, and with officially certified timing equipment. Again, so you don't have to Google the competition's best-claimed Ring times yourself, here they are: Porsche GT2 - 7:32, Nissan GT-R - 7:29, Corvette ZR1 - 7:22.4 and the Dodge Viper ACR - 7:22.1
The video quality was rather average though, I was hoping to see a fixed on the speedo showing from low speeds gunning to over 300km/hr just to see how fast it goes. Then when they did try and show the speedo it all only half visisble and the guy couldn't hold the camera still.
Please tell me that car is in GT5...
...just you wait... Porsche's going to say they couldn't get their own ZR1 around the ring in less than 9 minutes, and that the ZR1 GM used must have been wearing a "cheater spoiler". GM responds that you should take the car out of first gear down the straights.
