To put in context this is ~5 seconds faster than the e92 M3. However the base corvette stingray got 2:53 so significantly faster. The Z/28 got 2:50 I believe which is about what the GTR Nismo got. Porsche 918 set the all time record at 2:43.

Great showing for the M4 vs the E92. The spread with the C7 doesn't surprise me at all... it is a track monster. I've said it many times, the F8X are amazing dual purpose cars that blend very capable track performance with daily luxury/livability... maybe better than anyone else. However, the C7 Stingray is much more purpose built and focused on pure performance. It is a stellar car and next to impossible to beat for performance for anywhere near its price.
Gotta love the Z28 and props to GM for building a real track car!! Putting up GTR numbers in a big, heavy package is impressive!
