Quickest Corvette remains a C7 Z06, with a "big-lid" LT4 in it, at 7:13.90

Mero went 7.05 in a C7 ZR1 but, because it was not under 7:00, GM chose not to make the time official. Interesting story about that...apparently, right about the time GM was over there with the C7 ZR1, the folks who run run the place changed some of the rules by which manufacturers are allowed to run the course alone. That made tire warming, which is SOP on most manufacturer record laps, impractical. In cases where you have a guy like Mero driving, cold tires are the kiss of death (in this case, rhetorically speaking of course). That cost him and Chevrolet being the first production car under 7 minutes. The in-car from that has never been released by GM, but I have a copy of it and it's freakin' scary to watch Jim starting out on cold tires. He almost put it in the fence twice on that lap.

I, also, have the actual HD in-car (more visually-awesome than You-Tube, for sure) of the run Mero made back in 2011 in a 2012 Z06/Z07, of which I own an example. That footage is also freakin' crazy to watch. He want 7:22.68 on that run.

Easy to tell that's totally fake, but...at least it sounds like a V8 with a flat crank.
