It was obvious it wouldn’t take the crown. The time is decent, at least it’s 4 seconds faster than the ZL1 1LE.


Pick your poison.

I agree it's slow for 750 hp, especially under favorable track conditions. Though I wonder if they really had all 750 horses on tap. Don't they have to run multiple mufflers to stay under the decibel limit there?

The ACR didn't. I can't imagine the Corvette running louder than the ACR did.

I do not believe the manufacturers would waste money on a hero lap run, and not squeeze out the maximum power out of their car.

Wrong tires
Still snow in some places
Not in enough owners hands
Will get faster this summer
Too little cargo space

Excuses for the week, we can try to apply here too.

I hope you're not serious.

Factory tires are factory tires.
The Porsche ran the same day as the Vette.
Since owners matter.
Will get faster with more heat? Sure they will.
Maybe they left some golf clubs and jorts in the trunk?

maybe they had heatsoak issues :D..... GM could **** up a wet dream

It wouldn't surprise me. If it was heatsoak, GM is in some shit, especially after the last heatsoak issues.

You've clearly missed the Demon threads with all the theoretical reasons on why it won't run what it claims.

We all know the real reason the ZR1 is slow, driver didn't have exposed chest hair and gold chains.

Or maybe this is a stock run before GM modifies it for their video taped hero runs.

The 14 z28 was slower than the 12 zl1 as well.
