I live in the south, wish there were more road courses around here & not just ovals. That looked like more fun than I've had in a long time.

Lighting Lap is done by one of the magazine companies, they take each new car per year and race it around a track (I think VIR). And then report the times and compare it to others, the Z crashed at the event because of brake issues.
Other car magazine tests have put the Z in a decent spot light per numbers v other cars but it always has gotten dinged because everyone refers back to its bad results at the Lighting Lap test.
