    Dang that means Jeff Schaadt would've run a 7:26.2 in it.

    Stock, according to this.

    Man, that is some amazing stuff. I look forward to seeing similar videos of Sammmy driving his car.


    It's even more amazing when you consider how docile the car is on the street.

    Road & Track has Jan Magnussen running the fastest ZR1 lap at 7:22.4. There is a huge Nurburgring story in the latest issue if anyone is interested. It includes a guide to a lap of the Ring with the ZR1.
