I've heard rumors from someone i trust that:

"I saw on a mailing list this morning that there are insider rumors and gossip about a companion ZR1 at the 'Ring that day that did a 7:11 lap.

It apparently had wheels and tires borrowed from the C6R racing program, some modified suspension components, exhaust and stripped interior.

It was to test capabilities of the PTM at even higher grip levels for the possibility of selling a track optimized version of the ZR1.

Writer categorized it as rumors, but he is a reliable source."
