I've heard ZR1 is supposed to crack 7 min mark. Rumors of lots of active aero and n/a motor.

From reputable GM sources... "google Mercury DOHC LS". Its been hiding in plain sight for 2 years. Apparently that is the ZR1 and Camaro Z28 motor. Think about it, the ZL1-1LE @ $70k makes room for a Z28 @ $80-90k

A few things I noticed on the dash:
-The rev match was off(?)
-I didn't see the traction and stability control lights!
-Tire temps were at around 33-34 psi

Professional driver, probably turned off all the nannies and "I'll match my own revs, thank you very much"

Insane, I broke down and watched it on my phone. Would have preferred my HTPC. Oh well. That was pretty incredible, considering its "only a Camaro."

Bill Wise was the driver this time. He is not a GM Engineer as far as I know, but he does run with BnR Racing.
