Saw this thread and am amazed how easily tunable these beasts are with such little work and soooo fast.

Sounds interesting, but its funny that not one of them has a care in the world for corners.

Thats because vette owners have complete confidence in their cars and know how to drive them

What?? The car already corners better than most so maybe they don't need to worry.

Scanned from a recent issue of 'Bilmagasinet' - danish car mag.
Interview with Jan Magnussen about (among other things) his record lap at NBR.
Here´s a translation:

Thursday morning, Southern Germany. General Motors have discreetly rented the legendary german Nürburgring track for an hour between 7 and 8 in the morning.
The temperature is more comfortable than at Le Mans, and the track is empty apart from a couple of early rising spy photographers.
It takes more than a blue Vette to exite them - they recognize it, it´s the Z06 version, the brutal Vette with 500 BHP. What they do not know, is that it´s Jan Magnussen behind the wheel.
The objective is to beat Walther Rörhl´s laptime in a Porsce GT3 RS - it´s 7:43,0 min for the 20,8 km heavily varied track with 73 corners. The record was set in 2004 in a standard version of the Porsche.

Jan made 7:42,9 thereby beating the Porsche GT3 RS by 0,1 sec.
