Edit: it would proly go faster...

Not without aero.

Before creating this thread i had never realized how pretty much perfect the zl1 1le is. You are right. I guess in making this thread, i was trying to imagine how far could this platform really go for the buck. As in, i had the GT4, GT350R, Ferrarri 458 etc in mind. Never to think of the SS' bigger brother. Which turns out to be the big brother who beats the dog sh#t outta you growing up.

The gen 6 Camaro ZL1 (not 1LE) ran the Nurburgring in 7 minutes 29.6 Seconds. The SS 1LE beats the ZL1 in braking 60-0 (93 ft vs 96 ft) and in maximum skidpad Gs (1.12 Gs vs 1.07 Gs). I would bet that the SS 1LE could run the Nurburgring in 7 minutes 21 seconds if it added R compound tires and 100 naturally aspirated horsepower (to avoid a supercharger adding weight and heatsoak).

Wasn’t half that run in the rain?

Not sure. I couldnt find video of it, just the time itself.

This is the 2017 zl1 10 speed 'ring lap video. Was run in the dry, 5th gen Z28 had light rain in the last quarter of the lap

If Provoste can shave off 6 seconds with Pirelli scrubs on a 2 min lap without aero, then i think ZL1 would be able to shave off 8 seconds off of a 7+ min lap with better mechanical grip alone. That would still leave 5 seconds for aero on official basis (and 8 informally based on a non timed lap they did there).
Easy peasy

CAI would definitely do it.

heads cam bolt ons for $10k will put the car at 600bhp, i think that will do it

Its going to need R comound tires too. 600 hp basically just puts us at the same power to weight ratio as the ZL1 which ran 7 min 29.6 sec. The SS 1 LE handles/brakes slightly better due to less weight but not enough to make 8.6 seconds. R compound tires would raise the handling/braking limits to close to the ZL1 1LE and might get us there.
