For whatever it is worth, Randy Pobst did a 1:33.005 in a Z06 and a 1:33.29 in a 991 GT3 at Laguna Seca last year. Qualifying times were 1:23.39 and 1:23.96 respectively for their GTLM versions this year.

Daytona is a good example of a this. The GTLM cars have frequently gone through the infield section keeping a nearby DP/LMP2 car behind it. Then when they get on the oval/banking, that is where the prototype cars shoot off in the distance.
