And it's a shame they couldn't make the car (Camaro overall) more usable and ergonomically friendly...none of which would compromise its ability to be excellent on track. The S550 would be struggling.Gosh, people are still harping on about the TH video.
GM just announced the C8 did 7:29 (DCT) at the Nurburgring. For reference, the base ZL1 (Auto) did the exact time a few years ago at 7:29 as well.
Meanwhile, just over 2 years go a 'Manual' ZL1 1LE officially did 7:16 at the Ring. Unofficially, it did 7:13 at the Ring.
Up until recently, there wasn't a single Ferrari that could beat the ZL1 1LE's time.
Let's never forget what an insane track weapon the ZL1 1LE is. This has nothing to do with the Camaro logic. This has everything to do with Bob Lutz pushing GM to drop $2Bn into the Alpha platform just under a decade ago.
For people that need to be reminded what a 'Manual' ZL1 1LE once accomplished, here's a video for you to have popcorn with -
