Even 1:40’s for the other guys isn’t bad considering they’re also not pros trying to set records out there and like you said, trying not to have a wrecker haul their fancy Italian jobs away. Cut them a little slack. It’s just a fun vid, no one said the new Vette is a destroyer of supercars. We’ll wait for the Z06 for that.

I agree mid 1:30s isn't bad. Age of driver isn't a factor however, talent much more so. I think it's awesome that people go enjoy their fast cars on track, I don't care if they do 1:40s or 50s, they're having fun. It's just the title of the video "attacks ferraris and mclaren" ...a little misleading and doesn't mean much at all when they are running 1:40s.
It's like the Top Gear guy who drove the M3 and Tesla Model 3p at Thunderhill, running 10 seconds slower than what is considered a respectable lap time. Absolutely terrible track driving yet concludes that the Tesla is a faster car on track..nonsense
