New Zo6 got 7:40 around the 'ring'
It seems like the new zo6 completed the 'ring' in 7:40. If this is true, that is pretty amazing. You guys think the 997 TT can match it? Here is the link where I got the info from,

REKORD WAR NICHT DRIN
Gerade erst GT1-Klassensieger in Le Mans, gab Jan Magnusson kurz darauf am Nürburgring Gas. Mit der Corvette Z06 sollte der Rundenrekord fallen - knackige Werbung für die neue Sport-Corvette. Doch mehr als gute 7.40 Minuten war nicht drin. Der Nordschleifen-Rekord für Serienautos hält weiterhin ein Donkervoort RS: 7.18.01!
Let me try to translate:
RECORD WAS NOT POSSIBLE
Just won the Le Mans GT!-Class, Jan Magnusson pushed the pedal at the Nürburgring. With the Corvette Z06 should the old record fallen - spicy advertisement for the new Sport-Corvette. But more than just(!) 7 minutes 40 seconds was not to archive. The Nordschleifen(northern track)-Record for not modified cars is still with the Donkervoort RS: 7.18.01!
The small picture shows a blue Z06 out of focus.

Blue, eh? I wonder if it was the Blue Devil C6 Z06 listed below. This Vette is rumored to be in the 600hp mark and the pics below look as if they could be from the 'ring. You can barely make out the '666' on the license plate.

Spied on the Nurbürgring, Blue Devil appears to be living up to the earlier hype . . .

I must admit though... The Z06 getting 7:40 is VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

Wonder what tires it was wearing. Remember, people got all excited comparing the BMW M3 CSL on r-compounds against the GT3.

Well it seems official that it was a stock Z06 and the time was 7:43. Keep in mind that this was done on stock run-flat tires. Awesome stuff.
