This is a Fake News write-up from Motor Trend. It is from an on-line article giving extreme high praise to the latest Corvette ZR-1. The article, also, lists the fasted times around Willow Springs, CA.

“Did the ZR1 set another record at the "Big" track? Sadly no, but it did outpace the last Z06 he (Randy Probst) drove there by a significant 1.3 seconds. In order, the top five spots currently belong to a 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS (1:21.08), 2018 McLaren 720S (1:21.75), 2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante (1:22.53), 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder (1:23.54), and 2017 Ford GT (1:23.69). In sixth place by a mere 0.01 second, the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with the ZTK package made a 1:23.70 lap. With Chevrolet on hand to support the effort and three sets of tires sacrificed in the process, it was the best that car could do that day.”

However, the mag rag somehow forgot to list the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR with the Extreme Aero Package which blistered the west coast circuit at 1:21.24!!!

This time keeps the Viper in second place over two years later!!!
