The timed runs @ the ring are rolling starts, and those aren't slicks. It's a sticker tire than the RE070 that will be available on production, showroom cars.
I'm dying to see official times of this and the ZR1...
And the reason I posted is because no matter what kind of car it is, that time around the 'ring is insane...just to share the news, not to start a ZR1 / GT-R discussion.

just thought id throw this out there...in our time attack car 100 pounds was good for about 1 second at buttonwillow which is a 2 minute course. honestly i dont think the results are that out of the question...it doesn't look like it has a factory style tire on it and im sure that had alot to do with it. think about it...it went 13 seconds faster on a 7 MINUTE course. I dont know how many miles the ring is but thats alot of track to make up 13 seconds. take a new zo6.. do you think it would be too far fetched to lose 330 pounds, add 70 horsepower, improve aero, improve suspension, add a better tire and go 1.8 seconds faster on a 1 minute course? do all those same things and see what kind of results you get in the 1/4 mile with any car. when you look at it like that, to me, it doesn't seem that unreasonable to pick up 13 seconds on a 7 1/2 Minute track.

I agree it is a sick car and it is fast. I am just sick of the GTR **** always being thrown down our throats.
No one here thinks it is not a fast car and that it would not whip many cars here...but this is a GM site.

Ok maybe, but what company makes smooth sidewall white letter radials? Not saying there aren't any, but that is usually the norm for slicks, not street radials.
