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

Video Find: 2012 Corvette ZR1 Blisters the 'Ring in 7:19.4 Seconds - WOT on Motor Trend

Showroom stock down to the tires. Pretty sick. Cool video. :)

:eek:

Beast mode!

i wish i could drive like that in a car like that on a course like that.

i hate dc traffic :eekdance:

Now if only we could close off a few streets in DC to set up a road course... that would be fun. :icon17:

The 09 ZR-1 did that in 7:26.4. Thats a huge gain. Wow, truly impressed. The likely GT-R Spec-V has some work to do.

Check out the tires it's running though, they are basically street legal slicks.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::tup:

Damn.

So badazz :tup:

Apprently, those are the stock tires.

"According to Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter, the 2012 ZR1 used in the video is “completely stock as it would be received by a real customer.” Juechter goes on to say, “We do have to add some safety equipment which actually adds weight to the vehicle and actually slows us down a little bit, but the rest of the car is to production specifications including alignment, trim height and everything you would normally expect out of a factory vehicle, up to and including the suspension parameters [and] the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.”

Yeah those are now the stock tires for the ZR1. What they were saying is that those are the best street legal tires they could put on there.

I vant a set!

Those tires....:yum:
Oh, good time also.

Me too. I wonder how much they cost.
