ZO6 at Mosport I had the opportunity of being a passenger in an LS7 for a 20 minute session on the big track and I was blown away with the mechanical grip and awesome power of the engine and the brakes. On the back straight it was pulling very hard in all 6 gears close to 240. Wow. I may need a neck brace.

The road course is a BLAST 
, and yes, the C6Z is one HELLUVA car out there! 
However, unless it was geared with ~4.56's, that 240 km/h pull would be in 4th gear still, not 6th 
.
That blue car pictured could be from Gateway (the race shop up there at the track).
So have you got the "bug" yourself yet? You don't need to be a pro to run your car at Mosport. There are LOTS of opportunities for average, everyday people to take their cars on the track

I have to visit this place more often. It probably was 4th gear, i can't say I was counting. I was there with the Porsches and have a project on the go that is designed specifically for Mosport. It's coming along nicely and I hope to fire the motor before spring and with some luck it could be sorted enough to bring to the track in the summer.

.Congrats on the 'Vet!
When I ran my heads & cam Camaro on the "Big Track", I would hit about 220 kph - but I'd have to shift into 5th about 2/3 of the way up the Andretti Straight because of my 4.10s. Unfortunately, as soon as I had to grab 5th, the car fell on its face with the overdrive gearing.
Best regards,
