Wow.

Very little body lean, that thing corners flat. I'm no expert on the Ring but that looked like a very smooth, drama free lap. No surprise, that's a quick car.

Unreal time

From the words of James May

"I may be alone in this, but I reckon that a lot of performance cars I drive lack proper feel. I blame the Nürburgring. Being able to claim that your daily driver holds a production car lap record somewhere in Germany is a good boast down the pub for the feeble minded, and the map of the place that Aston Martin embroidered on the center console of the N400 might make its owners feel superior, but it's all nonsense."

Nice!

Nice time by the Camaro, but even crazier than that is the fact there's at least 75 cars that have now gone under the 8:00 mark at the Nordschliefe. Only a few years ago 8 was the magic number. As an equal opportunity car enthusiast, I love the progression.

S.

:iagree:

Any car under 8 minutes on The Ring is hella fast. Certainly faster than you could ever drive on the street!

I still love to see them knocking these times down on increasingly more accessible cars.

Crazy. Very beast time.

I don't really understand the car from a marketing perspective (in light of the vette), but the time/video is very impressive.

Well, it's not 8 minutes, but still...a cargo-van can do the 'ring in 10.

Then try looking at it in light of the GT500.

I thought it was more like 10 minutes. I remember... Jeremey Clarkson was riding with Sabine in the transit van and they were trying to do a sub 10 minute lap and barely missed out on it. Though I might be thinking the wrong thing.
