Nurburgring Lap Times: 2014 Camaro Z28 Tops Published Times | Chevrolet - YouTube
I'm not going to look them all up but what is the price bracket were talking here compared to the Z/28. The Z isn't "cheap" but **** man, comparable times to McLarens and LF-As and Porsches and Lamborghinis???
From the Fox News article:
The stripped down muscle car dispensed of the 154-turn, 12.9-mile-long circuit through Germany’s Eifel mountains in 7:37.47, putting it ahead of a list of notable exotic sports cars that includes the $100,000 Porsche 911 Carerra S, $240,000 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and $400,000 Lexus LFA, not to mention the 556 hp Camaro ZL1 at 7:41.
Not sure which ones that it beat also ran on a wet track. But I would imagine not many of them. Wonder what it would do on a dry track?

Also that run at the end was in the rain. He was losing traction!
It's pretty funny it does better than a Porsche, Just imagine what happens when all this tech and better tech is on the smaller and lighter Alpha platform.
bet it cracks 7:30 in the dry, wonder what the SS will do it in. Any info on the Commodores lapping Nurburg?
I wouldn't doubt it at all, very possible, even with better tires if it doesn't already have whats best suited for it.bet it cracks 7:30 in the dry, wonder what the SS will do it in. Any info on the Commodores lapping Nurburg?
I did see some video's and pictures of the VF Commodores testing on the 'ring. Do a quick search i bet something will come up.
The only one I know of is the ute, the ute was in Europe (Spain) for emissions testing when somebody had a bright idea and time on their hands.
If this was a planned event by GM or Holden their are more suitable cars for a trip to the ring

You are right. Holden had a Redline ute in Spain for emissions testing. I think it was a last minute decision to run it around the ring, and that was primarily to shoot a TVC. The ute had 2 circuits of the Ring. With only the 360hp 6.0ltr on board, it managed 8:17 iirc. That should put the ls3 equipped SS somewhere around 8:00.The only one I know of is the ute, the ute was in Europe (Spain) for emissions testing when somebody had a bright idea and time on their hands.

The 575hp HSV GTS would likely come in just shy of the Camaro.
The Ute was also automatic, I don't think it was close to the best time possible for a Commodore. The GTS should be similar to the ZL1? Not sure what the weight/tyre differences are off the top of my head.
i am VERY curious what it would do on a nice hot day.

But agree that only 2 laps of the Ring while under direction from a film crew is not the best circumstances to achieve best times.
We have heard of pretty solid data that should put it around at least a 7:31. And that driver is definitely braver than me.bet it cracks 7:30 in the dry, wonder what the SS will do it in. Any info on the Commodores lapping Nurburg?
most of these test drivers are crazy in someway or another.
Balls so hard they can't even find him!most of these test drivers are crazy in someway or another.
