ZR1 laps 'Ring 7:22 w/Magnussen driving

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/28/c...off-ring-time/

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
Thats more like it!

If only GM is around to sell these things for more than a year.

And there are awesome burnout pics!

Holy crap, only 0.3 seconds off the Viper ACR? Given that the Viper uses Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires (which are basically race tires), and that the ZR1 uses Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s (which are very good, but still street tires), that's amazing!

I'd love to see what a ZR1 could do with the Cup tires.

The ZR1 is ugly. Ugly side scoops and a hideous window on the hood.




















But I'd still kill for one.
