Corvette C6 Z06 runs 7:43 at the Ring:
From Chief Engineer Dave Hill's mouth:
After a long discussion on all the various times of different (Non-Corvette) cars around the ring, using 8:00 as the benchmark for "world class" performance Dave announced:
A 2005 C6 turned the 'Ring in 7:59! (yes 7:59, NOT 7:56!!)
A 2004 C5 ZO6 did it in the already known 7:56
and the 2006 ZO6, driven by Jan Magnusson drove it in........
7:43
Dave said this time was already available on the net so it was not part of the August embargo.
Also it was NOT the Blue Devil.
