Yet, the 918 beat the Z/28 by 7 second in lap time. Any car can be fast at one particular part of any track. The best cars do it all well so while I admire your enthusiasm, you are not going to get an accurate portrayal of the overall performance of the car with that small of a sample size.
Thanks for that but I didn't have a whole lot of footage to work with. What was interesting was the Z28 was a second faster than the ZL1 through the same area. correction, I have looked at some more new footage of the ZL1 that just came out ( Red auto and a Blue manual) that looks like they are setting down some times and the auto is just as fast through that section. After seeing this I just hope they offer the auto for the Z28.
