2012 Corvette ZR1 Green Hell lap record

Another Friday. Another great Nurburgring lap record video! This time, it's Chevrolet doing the business in the latest 2012 Corvette ZR1, in the hands of their chief tester and development engineer. It's mildly modified from production spec, with a roll cage and other safety equipment (so it's heavier!), and on a new compound of Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, but, other than that, it's bog stock – and deeply, deeply impressive, pulling 183 mph on the home straight and some frightening cornering speeds and G's... which you can see clearly on this excellent video, with telemetry. The lap time... 7m19s... which is absolutely amazing. Well done to Chevrolet, stalwart supporters of the Green Hell testing methodology. A well-deserved fastest production car lap record!
