"GM has tested the mid level configuration at the ring and it ran faster then the GT2RS!! Now that's an accomplishment."

No. I'm also not interested in growing a 80s **** star mustache, wearing gold chains and just a bathrobe when visitors come to my home.

Dirk Diggler had a Vette in Boogie Nights for a solid reason... everyone would accept it as in character.

Moving the engine ain't going to change that.

1st Year - Find Problems

2nd Year - Fixed found Problems

3rd Year - Buy one, IF and only IF there's a ZO6 / ZR1 package!

That's from the German assistants that helped on the run. The time was directly from the person that recorded it. Not official but hand timed. Believe or not, it's a fact as reported by the timer. Surely there will be more runs to come!

I find that very very hard to believe, but if true, that car will be even more of a game changer than the base car.

I sure understand as I'd be a nonbeliever too if I hadn't read it. Of course, I wasn't there and it's unofficial. I will see if I can find it again. I'm not a ring guy so I glanced over it as more news that didn't mean much to me. I can't use all of the performance in any of these cars anyway.

If it does come out that they shared platform does it matter? The NA V8 makes all the difference.
