Actually...if the Z06 was tested 'exactly' as the GT-R and ZR1 was tested this most likely would have been the Z06's true time...

"Magnussen's lap should have been 4 seconds faster using a rolling start. Had he used a partial lap as Nissan did for their 7:38 GT-R run then that would have netted him an additional six seconds. So Magnussen’s run adjusted to the GT-R’s 7:38 procedure would actually have been a 7:32:9".

" The timed lap was run with a rolling start, a departure from our previous practice of standing starts. This is more aligned with current industry practice."

I Agree. Its time to run the ACR and ZR1 on the same day against each other.

Yep. Would love to see an ACR/Zr-1 competition.

These numbers are very impressive.

Chalk one up for the home team.

That's an awesome time! I wonder why they haven't had Jan Magnussen take it around the track.
