2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE is faster than Corvette, Ferrari at the Nurburgring

The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE went around the ‘Ring faster than any Ferrari.

All the Corvettes, too.

The new, not-just-a-muscle-car lapped Germany’s Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:16:04 in the hands of a Chevrolet test driver, making it the 14th-fastest production car at the 12.9-mile-long circuit.

Ferrari doesn’t do official laps at the benchmark track, but a 488 GTB run by a German automotive publication did it in 7:21, while the last Corvette to visit, a 2012 ZR1, set a time of 7:19.63. The Camaro’s mark is within spitting distance of such notable track rats as the Porsche 911 GT3 and Dodge Viper ACR.
