Official ZR1 Nurburgring Lap Time
Official ZR1 Nurburgring Lap Time
June 27 2008 07:01:26 PM EST
The 2009 Corvette ZR1 has set an official lap time of 7:26.4. This beats the Nissan GTR by about 3 seconds (or 0.673% of a lap).

The interesting thing to us is that it wasn't a "professional driver" in the car - it was Jim Mero, a GM engineer.

Now we're not saying anything about Jim's driving because hey, that's a fast time, but did the GM Factory drivers get a shot at beating the Nissan and fail, or did Jim just do a good enough job where they didn't need to be bothered?

Will we see a faster ZR1 time set after the Honda Civic Nissan GTR V-spec (probably) breaks the 7:26?
