The lap of 7:22 is just a few ticks quicker than the 7:26.4 lap set by the 2009 Corvette ZR1. It doesn't come as much of a surprise, since the... And it wasn’t to a two-ton AWD GT-R. Also, for those of you who don’t get Car and Driver, check out their website. They have an article posted up about how they’ve continued to test GT-Rs and have found that their original car was a “ringer”. Suck it, Fan Boys. ---

Oh fuck that thing, it’s a track car and nothing else. At least the ZR1 and GT-R are streetable cars (very much so, actually). ---

It was designed for the racetrack. Just look at it. Try driving that to HVCC every day or your job or on any other public road in upstate NY. The ZR1 was designed, yes to be run around a racecourse, but also as a street car that can be daily driven. I’d say GM has the perfect balance with that one. Looks like Dodge just needed another cock to suck so they shitted out this thing just so they could claim themselves as the 'ring champs. :banana ---
