I just don't get people. I bet if this was the 918 or P1 or a GT-R, everyone would be drooling over this.
This has more grip than any street car. And ANY ZOMG! AWD! vehicle. There are people who do track their cars and they are not low joes that spit magazine claims or 'Ring times. They do what the car can do and push it. There are already a number of C7 Z06 owners prepping their cars for upcoming track events.
Another point, is the 'Ring suppose to be the BEST track in the world? So wouldn't those cars tested there be at the top of the list?

Just a quick note because I do like to see what the pros can do vs. what an amateur can do:
The C&D Lightning Lap is not done by pro drivers. It's the journalists that have about 15-20 laps per car to get the lap time they achieve.
Regardless, this lap time is truly epic!
