Default 'Ring time comparisons

You might find this interesting. Any production car that cracks 8 min is very fast - there's a "weight reduced" RS4 which did so - you can see where the Z06, GT3 and 997tt fall. What's the going word about the R8's time? I think I heard about 7 min 50 secs? Is that right?

Default Some of those times are suspect. Here is a better list as it's all done by the same driver...

Default Tim, everyone knows that American cars suck. That Z06 was obviously cheating to get a time like that

because american cars suck and only german cars are worthy.

Odd, rare to see a list where the Murcielago is faster than the Gallardo around the 'Ring.

Hard to believe... I'm betting it'll be right at eight minutes.

Default C6 Z06 is a monster - a great car at any price

and a steal at MSRP. Just read that the 600 hp version will arrive for 2009 and be priced at around 100K.
