Again - why would Chevrolet and Team Camaro not be releasing this sort of info with supporting data?
I won't believe it without further corroboration from reputable sources.

Agree that this could just be a hoax. It could also be someone at the ring who timed the lap himself (not reliable) or overheard/was told the ring time by someone associated with team Camaro.
Chevrolet only releases the data when they are ready. We know they have tested at the ring and they have not released anything. They don't go tweet out their times as they leave the ring. They come back and analyze, scrutinize, and review all of their laps. They probably have to get management, accounting, marketing, legal and everyone else to sign of on releasing something like a video of a ring lap.
They may be waiting for Ford to announce their upcoming GT500 so they can steal some spotlight from the release. Maybe they want to announce it in front of the Camaro crowd at the Woodward dream cruise.
TLDR: There are reasons they may not have claimed the time yet. One of which is it could be complete BS. I don't think there is any way to know for sure until they make it official.
