See Car and Driver October 2015 issue. Corvette Z06 ($100,245 US-2:44.6) sets the fastest lightning lap for 2015 besting the likes of Porche 911 GT 3 ($162,010 US-2:50.4) Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 ($274,120 US-2:47.5), McLaren 650S Spider ($353,115 US-2:45.8). Only one car has been faster overall in the nine year run of the Lightning Lap, a Porsche 918 Spider ($850,000 US-2:43.1). NTF: Corvette ride and handling engineer Jim Mero drove a 2015 Z06 around the same Virginia International Raceway in a lower still 2:41.3. Link to this article in Car and Driver will hopefully be uploaded soon. How do you spell Supercar?

Z06 was the fastest car overall in 2015, the ninth iteration of the lightning lap. In the nine years, only the Porsche 918 has been faster last year and then only by 1.5 seconds. How do you spell bargoon!

Another reason to attend the monthly supper meetings. Your car might end up on You Tube in a music video. 12 Sep 2021 at the Westwinds restaurant at the Pembroke Best Western. Tony's, Rick A's, Rick N's and David's. Courtesy of Elyse Saunders and "Behind the Songs" You Tube video. Preamble to the song starts at 8:25 and you see the cars at 9:48. I don't know why she was there but obviously she was and liked the background. Don't say that I never encourage folks to get out for the monthly meetings. Thanks to eagle eye Gilles for somehow spotting the video on You Tube.
