How can you lose 8 seconds at Daytona? A full lap is only about 40 seconds. The SS must be significantly slower. Fully upgraded, the top speed of the Camaro ZL1 is 229 and the SS is 192 (both according to pages here).

A 37 mph speed deficit is equivalent to just over 54 feet per second, after 40 seconds the slower car will be 2160 feet behind, at 192 mph (281 feet/sec) that would take 7.7 seconds to cover.

Obviously the cars aren't doing maximum speed for the entire lap, but the maths shows the quoted time deficit of 8 seconds is about right.
