A good read and some great performance cars but one car stood out...

Lightning Lap 2023: The Hottest Cars on America's Toughest Track

This is the 16th time we’ve migrated to Virginia International Raceway to judge cars by nothing more than what they can do on America’s most challenging 4.1 miles of racetrack.

2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 at Lightning Lap 2023

The longer we lapped it, the more we concluded that this Corvette is really meant for the track.

The driver of the Z06 was lol'ing after his lap.

The GT4 RS is so sick.

Yup he was giddy! Was that Liberman?

The GT4 RS is so sick.

I love that car.

 

[F8l Vnm]

As impressive as the Z06 is beating the Tecnica by 5 seconds is , I have to agree the Cayman is ****n fast. Probably so much fun to drive.

Yeah. As soon as it was announced I reached out to three stores. I told them I'd give $25-35k over MSRP if I could spec it how I'd like... they said unfortunately their allocations were already sold, and they were selling them for $75-125k over MSRP.

I'm stuck ordering a peasant C8, which is fine. They have yet to crack the ECU for tuning, so headers, high flow (or no) cats and a tune, when available will probably wake the car up a tad. Many cars running high 10's now with headers/exhaust only in good air.

Watching them lap the Kia Carnival was the best part of that

Buddy of mine owns a 918 Spyder, Duracell special edition 911 turbo, taycan turbo, 911R, all bought new at the same dealership and they couldn't even give him an GT4RS allocation...

Yep. It's a tough one to grab.

 

[7998]

Lol, I'd be happy with a GT3 allocation at msrp.

Is that supposed to be Dakar or some shit that was autocorrected? I have never heard of that.

It's the copper special edition one that looked like a Duracell battery.
