2011 Lightning Lap

For reference, when they tested the 370Z Nismo, they had some brake problems and crashed the car. So that 370Z time isn't representative of what if can do. Too bad

Too bad they didn't get one to re-test in their updated runs...

IIRC they actually ran it for a while and already got some hot runs in before they crashed it.

The Z06 that was ran this year is a Z07 which I believe is basically the ZR1 brakes/suspension/etc. but in a Z06.

Yea I just ordered one of these. It's a "Z07." It has everything a ZR1 has except the supercharger. It has the LS7 motor(Z06), ZR1 rims, brakes, suspension, rear spoiler, front lip. Mine will also have the carbon fiber package. The roof is actually carbon, but the manager of the dealership I purchased it from custom ordered it and asked to have it painted black. *shrug*

I was even more excited after seeing its time and the review. I found it funny that this Car and Driver made it to my mailbox 2 days after purchase!

17 2:58.5 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GRAND SPORT LL2 2/10

I really like this new Grand Sport its not much slower then the regular Z06. Really shows how strong that LS3 motor is consider both cars are running the same platform just different motors.
