I am willing to bet the increased track speed is the absorption of the evolutions on the Alpha chassis/suspension realized from the Camaro that the CT4/CT5 received in general, finer/better suspension tuning (springs, dampers and sways), smartly integrated aero into the BW styling and those tires. The street/performance tire compounds that have been coming out within the past 4-, 5-years has been pretty impressive. Not to mention Michelin's recent sportscar racing endeavors. There's a lot of the same/similar hardware carried over from the ATS/CTS/Camaro. The ATS-V, a very similar car, had a LL time of 2:59.2. We're looking at a delta of 6.3-seonds. Considering the C&D drivers vs Mr. Wise and there's probably a driver "modifier" there, so consider maybe 3-seconds there. Better tires, improved chassis, improved suspension, better aero...

Bill Wise would have easily shaved off seconds from the previous lap time set by the journalist! |

No doubt! I do like that they use "fast journalists" rather than pro drivers in the lightning lap though. Let's you know what's possible as an advanced HPDE driver driving any of the cars on the list in stock form.
