The German magazine has tested the ZR1 and is very pleased with the car. Their only criticism relates to the very direct steering around the center point. This they consider to be working very well on smooth surfaces, but is also given as the reason why the Ring Lap time ended with a slightly disappointing 7.38. According to Sport Auto the steering has problems in coping with the undulating surface of the Ring, making the car difficult to handle. The realised time is a long way off the 7.26 that GM managed to do last year. (and to heat up the discussion, 7.38 is exactly the time a certain Japanese car managed in the hand of the same tester)
