GM fans are loving that the Corvette ZR1X blew away the Ford Mustang GTD’s Nurburgring lap time, as did the ZR1. That’s right, the new C8 Corvette ZR1X holds the record as the fastest American production car on the Nordschleife circuit at a scorching 6:49.

The new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is now the fastest American car around the famed Nurburgring race track. Mustang GTD fans have been reeling since Chevy announced its top models both toppled Ford's 7-minute-52-second lap time around the 12.9-mile "green hell" by between two and three seconds.

On Thursday, Chevrolet came out swinging and announced the Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X both beat the Ford Mustang GTD’s Nürburgring lap time. It took less than two hours for Ford CEO Jim Farley to respond, “Congrats to the Corvette team. Game on,” he said.
