A while ago a twitt from a Chevrolet executive stated that Camaro ZL1 had completed the Nurburgring north course in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds, an incredible lap time that was yet to be made official when the news first came out on a popular social network. The achievement was so astonishing that we just had to report the news, but since no official confirmation was available at the time, we also had to put a question mark at the end of the article’s head title.

A few days later Chevrolet officially confiremed that the ZL1 did actually lapped the Nurburgring in 7:41.27 and released the above video as evidence, featuring Aaron Link showing us how ‘easy’ it was to do better than the likes of Porsche 911 GT3, Corvette ZR1 and Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV. Camaro Performance’s test driver also admitted that the car turned out to be “just perfect”, providing its absolute best while facing the famous Fuchsröhre corners.

Just to put all that into perspective, Camaro ZL1 laptime is 40 seconds better than what the Camaro SS did on the same track just two years ago.
