Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X Stun at the
Nürburgring – But There’s More in the Tank!

Chevrolet made waves this week with official Nürburgring lap times for the new Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X. The ZR1 ran an incredible 6:50.763, while the ZR1X edged ahead with a 6:49.275 — both quicker than the much more expensive Mustang GTD.

But Nürburgring YouTuber and expert racer Mikhael “Misha” Charoudin says the ZR1 could have gone even faster, by as much as 10 seconds. His detailed analysis of the lap shows conservative driving lines and slower exits that left speed on the table. Why? GM used engineers, not experienced Nürburgring pro drivers, for the official lap.

According to Misha, with a seasoned Nürburgring racer behind the wheel, the ZR1 could easily threaten the all-time […]
