    I think the 8:19 on the side is the Nuburgring time.

    Yeah I don't think the Vette is going to top the Cayman's interior, which is damn near a perfect.

    Thanks for stepping out of the shadows briefly. Maybe you will win a trip to BG and a few laps at the museum track!

    FWIW, the Boxster/Cayman twins sell OK everywhere but the states. Here, they are a sales disaster.

    the Nurburgring >

    Yet, even the 6:57 time isn't enough to place the Corvette ZR1 on the same pedestal as current lap record holders. The Porsche 911 GT2 RS previously claimed the record with a time of 6:47.3, and the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is the current record holder with a 6:44.97.

    The numbers on the side are both the release date and the nurburgring time. Notice 8:19 is called out.

    Wow. You can't possibly believe that the Corvette ran 8:19 at the Ring. It would seem obvious why the 8 is highlighted. Or it should.

    The Nurburgring time for the basic C8 should be about 7:17 this year.

    That's pretty specific. Can you share how you got there (seriously, not being antagonistic)?

    The 2018 Z06 was 7:13.9 and hopefully the C8 will be lighter weight but has 150 less horsepower. However better traction and DCT may gain back some time. Just my guesstimate. They did test there but I did not see those track times. The ZR1 should better 6:57 but didn't get a fair try as it was on cold tires.

    Even if 819 was in red. It would just mean a C8 coming in 2019. Mayor may be losing it.

    Thanks. Coming within range of the current Z06 would be quite a "base" car.
