This is a sensible post that I can accept and I think I already did earlier in this thread. I said its possible that a "pro" driver could trims a VERY little off Bill's time, but then some people are quoting Al O's statement that a sub 7 second time might be possible. I strongly disagree there and think its a bold and ridiculous statement that we all know will never be attempted so some think Al's pedigree means its entirely possible and I'm on the opposite side saying its impossible and yet it will never be done. Its a stalemate but what we do have is the official time of 7:16 and I've never debated that. I've said before and I'll say it many more times, the ZL1 is the bargain of the century for any performance car under 100K, but let's not propagate a myth that this car is capable of performing sub 7 second runs at the Ring against cars that are far more capable from a physics and technology standpoint.
