I doubt it. The base 'vette with Z51 suspension ran around 3:01 or so, depending on the year, and that's about 400# lighter with very similar power and wider tires, IRS, and better aero.

I think the Boss will see a 3:04 at best. Of course, SVT will somehow manage to drive it to a never-to-be-duplicated 2:59 or something like they did the GT500.
