Makes a lot more sense. Still didn't quite edge out the ACR, but it's more realistic for the power to weight and nature of that car:
Back at the Nürburgring, the hot Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 has just ripped four seconds off its claimed 7:26 lap. The new time, with Jan Magnussen at the wheel, is a claimed 7:22.4 for the full 12.93-mile loop. While the number is pretty bloody fast, it is still .3 seconds off the time earned by the Dodge Viper ACR (ouch, those three tenths really have to hurt!). We take these lap times with a grain of salt, as we've yet to see everyone on the 73-turn course under the same conditions, and with officially certified timing equipment. Again, so you don't have to Google the competition's best-claimed Ring times yourself, here they are: Porsche GT2 - 7:32, Nissan GT-R - 7:29, Corvette ZR1 - 7:22.4 and the Dodge Viper ACR - 7:22.1.
Sick. You'll trip out. I went to the chevy dealer today, because theres a zr-1 in stock WOW. And i came online to post about it, and saw this thread and tripped out.
Two American cars sitting on top of the Nurburgring?
Lmao.
The irony..
My thoughts exactly. Some of those guys with the exotics must be drowning themselves in a thimble of Port, talking about how therir car has more racing heritage or something like that.
