Damn that was fast... in a Camaro. Shifting like a mad man, tires squealing. How many Red Bulls did he throw down before that?

Right on! Vindication for C7 Z owners....about time really.

GM Factory drivers should be able to extract even more time as it's clear the gear shifts weren't executed perfectly.

Sport Auto's best time with new GT3 was 7:18 v Factory time of 7:12. Can you imagine what the GM Factory time would be for the Z06? 7:08 - 7:10 perhaps?

Nur93

Them US car have up the pace nowdays ...!
yes the factory is always faster for sure just as you say

No limp mode!?

Nur93

Haha, I Hope they fix that limp mode issue 🤔

Well driven, and you have got to hand it to Corvette for doing a good job with this vehicle. The question for the GT3 and Porsche is "is it a case of too little too late" or perhaps more pointedly has the 991.2 GT3 got the engine it should have had on launch as the 991.1 GT3...........

chillindrdude

i will bet that z06 had an larger intercooler or oil cooler....

What I find impressive still, is that even though the 991.2 GT3 is rated at 500hp, it's top speed on the main back straight is still 285 km/hr, which is the same as the Z06, and faster than the ZL1 1LE, both of which have ~650hp. This shows you they have worked a lot in the wind tunnel to make the GT3 have good downforce, but still slippery.

chillindrdude

the GT3 is also lighter than both those cars.

Loess

Seriously fast. Wow.

That guy definitely left some seconds on the table with the shifting alone. But would still prefer to drive a Porsche, even if slower. And NA at that. And yes, Porsche horsies seem to be of better quality.
