It did sound like he was short shifting a lot of the time. A full-tilt pro driver should be able to "Ring" out more time. I'm curious to see what the V-Spec will do.

Well, they say the v-spec has busted out a 7:25 already. The problem is that without any type of sanctioning body it's imposible to know what's running. Nissan will put up some fast number, but what they are running isn't representative of what they are selling.

Do you feel confident that GM is putting up what they're selling?

I don't know. Gm has been taking the high moral road recently though. When I was in College we had a GM test engineer bring down a C5 from the hot weather testing site in maricopa county. He stated that that particular car had the timing advanced and they were able to see 182 MPH at their high speed test course. Now the ZR-1 lap was billed as an official lap on a car that was as is "off teh showroom floor".
