One wonders, however, how much the car would've gained with active aero on the straightaways, especially the 1.5-mile back straight where the ZL1 1LE was only able to climb to 172 mph. The ZL1 reached 180 mph in the same spot, but the 1LE is a bit lighter, so there's that. A sub-7 minute run might have been possible with active aero.
Not that I really care but I remember reading this article a while back. Not the same track but a direct comparison.
