Impressive car. Impressive time. *NOT* an impressive run.
1. Driver was into the rev limiter constantly
2. driver missed a gear, lost almost a full sec.
3. Cars tires were scraping on the body constantly.
4. On the straight-away, driver was into the rev limiter for several seconds.

2. I think i saw him miss gears twice. The way he was shifting, it looks like it takes a lot of effort to move that lever.
3. Car's fault, not the driver's.
4. Again, car's fault for not having a tall enough gear.
It was funny to see how much he was bouncing in his seat during the back straightaway.

The ZR1 ran a 7:26 and is FAR more comfortable to drive and isn't stripped at all - in fact it's more lux'd up than the Z06.
While that's still technically slower, for 4 extra seconds I'll take the ZR1 every time.
