Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 can lap the 'Ring quicker than a Koenigsegg

The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife in an astonishing time of 7 minutes 29.6 seconds. That’s nearly four seconds faster than the Koenigsegg CCX supercar could manage with an extra 150 horsepower (112 kilowatts) and several hundred pounds less weight.

The ZL1 is powered by a 6.2-liter, supercharged LT4 V8 motor that summons up 650 hp (485 kW) and 650 pound-feet (881 Newton meters) of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual, or brand-new 10-speed automatic gearbox, as used for the Nurburgring lap.

This is especially impressive while driving on the 405 at 25 mph with 2 million other cars right next to you. Yeah, man, cool dude. Because you know, you can't be late for your own funeral, right? I hope you fast and furious yourself to your own funeral.

Yes really. I've seen a number of these types crossing 3 lanes to pass on the right and freaking out other drivers. They want to drive fast, do it on an mountain road without endangering other drivers. So yes, really.

I agree. If you want to drive fast then get real performance training to begin with and then drive where it is safe to go all out preferably on a track.

@MDarringer - you know you and I have our huge differences but what you said is what many people have been suggesting. Cars are getting so powerful now and the roads are getting more congested, they should do their racing at the tracks, where it is actually more fun for them.
