nthfinity was referring to the C6 Corvette (I assume) when he said 'overpriced american bathtub'.....not the K'segg.

Nah - GM fucked us on the back end on this one... for some or other reason they won't admit to the 7m40s lap - GM afterall does NOT bow to anyone... even if 7m43s is slower, that's the time they will stick to - simply because it's the time THEY anounced.

Its a private test track. You want them to give Chevy an invite? God damn you guys try hard to put anything but the Z06...I can feel the passion through the net...hehe

besides dont you think Ferrari would murder anyone on that track? Their cars are set up for it...
