[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 2445111, member: 19833"] Well over at digitalcorvettes.com there has been some information confirming it is a stock Z06 from a guy from Pratt and Miller. I didn't see any mention of a 7:43 though. This car was supposedly stock down to the tires and while driven by a great driver, Jan Magnussen, it is potentially faster in the hands of a ring regular. To quote the guy from Pratt and Miller, "I just thought I'd let you guys know. Apparently Jan scared himself silly a couple times at the Nurburgring, and if that car is fast enough to scare Jan as crazy as he is, we got a rocket ship on our hands." Here is the thread over at digitalcorvettes.com if anyone cares.

Hey, you can talk about price too, but thats no fun! The C5 Z06 stopped from 60mph in 103ft. The Viper in 97ft. The GT is higher than both.
