The ongoing fight for ring times rages on as Chevy posts two new lap times on the Nordschleife.
The first is a new time for the Z06 coming in an impressive 20 seconds faster then the 2006 run at 7:22.68. This puts the Z06 with the Z07 package 1.54s ahead of the Nissan GT-R Mk-II. An impressive time considering the lack of all wheel drive and 18 fewer ponies.
The second is a new ZR1 time, posting a neck breaking 7:19.00 this takes back the title from the slightly "modified" Viper and puts in a smaller 0.63s lead.
With the next generation of Corvette and Viper just around the corner, the next few years will be interesting to say the least.
