And still no mention that the person that made the Wiki entry was contacted for details and was listed as word of mouth. Guess things like that aren't really important though.

By that, I understand that the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 isn’t just better than the old one, but quicker around the Nurburgring than the Camaro Z/28 (7:37.47) and the Shelby GT350R (7:32.19).

Whoever wrote the article is an idiot...First the ZL1 never had a 7.0L and second the GT350R never ran a 7:32 ring time. That was a rumor started by HPK (Horsepower Kings) and never confirmed by anyone with credibility.

I have serious doubts the new ZL1 7:23 time is true until GM confirms it.

Not sure why I'm responding but I didn't post anything untrue. Can't take something as a fact (GT350R and ZL1 lap times) until there is a credible source confirming it. Without sources it's all meaningless.

Not slamming anything, anything you say here adds to the drama until we get it confirmed. All is well.
