But still images don't tell the whole tale, so InsideLine sent its spies to the North Loop with a video camera to capture an uncloaked ZR-1 making the rounds on the 'Ring. According to the men behind the lens, they were able to clock the 620 hp, supercharged 'Vette running laps "in the low 7:40s," easily within reach of supercars...

4-5 seconds on a damp 'Ring?

Are they complete morons? The 'Ring has enough straights that 4-5 seconds is no time at all, and in a 620hp, RWD car with a frontward weight bias, corner exits are a bit of a challenge in the damp.

I recommend they stop swinging off the Nissan's nuts and wait for further testing before passing judgement on the ZR-1.
