Default I, for one, had not seen that

pretty amazing stuff. I did not realize the Ring was that rough or the guardrails were that close. I bet more than one car has hit those things.

Yes it was in the same trim and options as any ZR-1 on the dealers showroom floor.

I'm also very interested in if the upcoming production Nissan GTR V-spec will perform as well and maybe possibly.....(OK I know this forum is dominated by Hardcore Camaro guys so be gentle)...beat the ZR-1 Nurburgring lap time. Latest I heard they were only 6 or 8 seconds behind the ZR-1 with their test mule with a lot more development to go? Nice to see competition though!
