And the 2023 Z06 came up on top with a lap time of 2:38.6. The 2nd fastest car was the 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS at 2:40.5. Just for the record, the Porsche had an as-tested price of $186,975 vs. the Corvette at $141,855, a difference of $45,120! Oh, I should also point out that the 2:38.6 lap time of the Z06 is also the 5th all-time quickest in Lightning Lap history!<\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/email2.advancedcampaigns.com\/p\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2FyYW5kZHJpdmVyLmNvbS9mZWF0dXJlcy9hNDIzODcxNjkvbGlnaHRuaW5nLWxhcC0yMDIzLw\/click\/MTY3NTk1NDE4ODEzNzM4Mi42M2U1MDgwY2UyNWNhQGNvcnZldHRlbWlrZS5jb20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">You can read the full article on C&amp;D\u2019s website by Clicking Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p class=\"c2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/email2.advancedcampaigns.com\/p\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucm1oY2N2LXdpbi5jb20vb3JkZXItZm9ybQ\/click\/MTY3NTk1NDE4ODEzNzM4Mi42M2U1MDgwY2UyNWNhQGNvcnZldHRlbWlrZS5jb20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Win A 2023 Z51Coupe, A 1965 Corvette Convertible, or a 1969 Chevelle SS!<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/corvettenewsforum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/020823_9.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\">The Ronald McDonald House of Central Valley is offering two Corvettes and a Chevelle SS for its 2023 fundraiser which just got underway and ends November 17th.

It was a little tired with 95,000 miles on it but I thought it would be a great car for me to do a little wrenching on. I was able to do that and fixed all the little things that were wrong with it with the help of the factory service manual that was the first thing I bought after the Corvette. I was able to take it to the 2014 Black Hills Corvette Classic Rally. I think my wife enjoyed driving it as much as I did. A couple of my DIY improvements even made it into the Vette Vues magazine, a DIY route bag and a DIY foldable cup holder. After about seven years of ownership, I fulfilled another checkoff on my bucket list when I purchased a 2007 Le Mans blue metallic 3LT convertible. \u00a0I am enjoying the Corvette community even more with this car and its HUD display. \u00a0I believe in driving them and will do so as often as I can.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\">Mike B.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 class=\"c3\">1965 Mustang Convertible<\/h3>\n<p class=\"c2\">Like new with rotisserie restoration!<\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/corvettenewsforum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1965-mustang.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\">Silver Blue Mustang Convertible with Blue &amp; White Pony interior<\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\">289ci\/3-spd. automatic.<br>Complete rotisserie restoration done about 4 years ago.<br>Electronic fuel injection recently added!<br>Power steering.<br>Power front disk brakes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><strong>Special price: $65,500!<br><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><strong>For more information:<br>Email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Jeff@CorvetteMike.Com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jeff@CorvetteMike.Com<\/a><br>714-630-0700<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p class=\"c2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/email2.advancedcampaigns.com\/p\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb3J2ZXR0ZW1pa2UuY29tLzIwMjMtejA2LWNvcnZldHRlcy13YW50ZWQv\/click\/MTY3NTk1NDE4ODEzNzM4Mi42M2U1MDgwY2UyNWNhQGNvcnZldHRlbWlrZS5jb20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">2023 Black\/Black Z06 Wanted!<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\">If you have a 2023 Black Z06, we have Cash<\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/corvettenewsforum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/111922_5-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\"><br><a href=\"https:\/\/email2.advancedcampaigns.com\/p\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb3J2ZXR0ZW1pa2UuY29tLzIwMjMtejA2LWNvcnZldHRlcy13YW50ZWQv\/click\/MTY3NTk1NDE4ODEzNzM4Mi42M2U1MDgwY2UyNWNhQGNvcnZldHRlbWlrZS5jb20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Click Here<\/a>\u00a0or email me to talk about your Z06 for sale:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Troy@CorvetteMike.Com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Troy@CorvetteMike.Com!<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 class=\"c1\">Parts For Sale!<\/h2>\n<p class=\"c2\"><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/corvettenewsforum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/c2-blue-hardtop-2-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><br><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\">Corvette C2 (mid-year) hard top.
