2012 Corvette ZR1 Laps "The Ring" in 7:19.40

Time to shlob the ZR-1's knob a little more.

Of course, the Vette took home a class win at Le Mans this weekend.

When I was watching the broadcast, they mentioned how out of all of the cars in the production class, the off-the-showroom ZR1 is closest to the actual race car. The main differences were that the race car had wider flared fenders to suit the fat racing wheels, and that the engine was de-tuned from the production version to meet the 500ish hp limit for that class.
