> [@MPD47](#): > > It’s on slicks, it has a flying start, and they stop the video a full 3 seconds before the timing lights they started at. Seems pretty straight forward to me? I dont deny the car is quick, but certainly not as fast as all the fanbois are claiming. Atleast it has a DSG type box so you dont have to worry about miss-shifts… To add to this though, GM shows its ZR-1 time on Youtube at 7:26 WITH A RUNNING START and the time appears to stop before where Jim Mero starts the lap, but it is probably just the case that the clock is shown on the video a few seconds after the lap actually began [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/0/8/087a57108308848a4aaaba21747d8ed345e28563.jpeg "ZR1 Nurburgring Official 7:26.4 Record Corvette Run") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6mEirkQN8o) EDIT: Garage419 did a video camparo: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ-CNFpPCnk&feature=related](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ-CNFpPCnk&feature=related) ---

Of all the things about this car the thing that impresses me most is the fact that they knurled the wheels to keep the tires in place! WTF? Is there any other production car that has knurled wheels?!?:biglaugh: Changing tires must be fun. ---
