What if I were to go out and buy a Z06 based on marketing made by Corvette stating that the car can lap the Ring in 7.42,9 and later find out that this statement was completely false.
If the car eventually with a race car driver of Corvette's choice weren't able to reproduce that laptime or even get close, let's say 7.58-8.05 then what
I would like to sue them for false marketing.
You can't make claims as a manufacturer and later on not be able to back them up in independent tests.
What if they stated that the car had a topspeed of 225 MPH or that the car had 700 HP
You are absolutely right and that is why NO maufacturer EVER gives an OFFICIAL time especially at the Ring. The best you will see from them is an approximate time and they will indicate it is an estimate.
