They'll most likely finally put a real drive in the ZR1 instead of an engineer

Like I said on another Forum this morning:
I like this car but is it really a "stock" road car. It is a car that is purchased that is already race ready and not nearly as liveable as the vette IMO. Lets take the same parts off the vette and see what happens. Also, I thought the HCP deleted the A/C, I guess it doesn't though.
engineers stiffen the front dampers for both compression and rebound (up three clicks to position 11, out of 14 total) and the rear dampers for compression (again, up three clicks to 11). The adjustable rear wing, which offers seven hole positions with the seventh offering the most down force, remains in position three, while the front splitter stays at its initial setting (0) as does the ride height (0.5 inch lower than stock).
evidence that the suspension alterations, along with fresh Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires, are cutting time
fitted with the Hard Core package, a no-cost option that cuts 40 pounds off the curb weight. About 10 percent of ACR customers order the HCP, which deletes the audio system, trunk carpet, rear cabin sound insulation, tire inflator kit, hood insulator, and steel battery cover

Absolutely. The ACR has no nannies, and the ZR1 is full of them.

"normal" street tires it might hold even more credibility.

I'm waiting for that to happen. A pro can most likey knock off a few seconds. The lap wasn't exactly perfect either.

Exactly, he made a few small mistakes, but also something interesting, is that based on speed and gear ratio from corner to corner, he really had very few options other than what he was doing banging the car off the rev limiter, becuase if he had to shift to a higher gear, then almost immediately downshift again, this in my opinion would have wasted more precious milliseconds, I personally think he did the right thing, maybe they should think about moving the rev limit up a bit to help.

Probably also the driver is used to race car engines that have much higher redlines.
