Finally the official time has been released- not quite the rumored Porsche Spider beating time of sub 7 min, but still awesome!

Re: Zo7 Nurburgring time 7:08!!

Not to dispute or disprove the lap time of the 2015 Z06/07 but here's a video from 2011 where Jim Mero driving a 2012 Z06/07 at the ring and his time was 7:22...so the 7:08 time could be close or very believable...the 2012 ZR1 time was 7:19

uploaded on Jun 23, 2011Corvette engineer, Jim Mero, records a lap of 7:22.68 in the 2012 Corvette Z06 with the Z07 chassis package at Germany's Nurburgring -- 20 seconds better than the previous Z06 fast lap recorded in 2005.

Vinnie - remember we talked with Jim Mero when we were at the Proving Grounds about "the ring". Not saying the time is not possible, just that GM itself has stated what has been reported is not factual.
