I feel like this event every year shows a lot of upsets! Such as a Boxster S beating a 2013 M6?? Check out this link too: Lightning Lap 2012 - - Car and Driver For example, a Cayman R beat a 911 Turbo?? Any other upsets you guys see?

Such a fail that the 370Z is .5 seconds quicker than a 350Z
But I'm happy the ISF beat the M3, which is a surprise, but I have one, so happy me! EDIT... Same exact time, lol |

i always follow this as i do a good amount of tracking up at VIR (full course not the grand course like the test) so I looked at this a few weeks ago and my thoughts were the two things for the 2013 group... #1 the LFA did about what i would have guessed and that #2 damn ferrari must have brought out one of their special 458s for the test lol. that car pulling a 2:49 and beating a Zr1 time that was on Michelin cup tires just seems crazy. I would have pegged the car to be around 2:52-2:53 based on how it usually stacks up in other tests like this.
other thought was the ZL1 camaro had a solid time i would have guessed it right at or just squeezing in under the 3 min mark Last edited by MC; 01-10-2013 at 04:25 AM. |

Anyone notice the 3.13.8 for the gencoupe R-spec & 3.17.5 for the infiniti Gcoupe sport???
Not good. I think the 370z sport needs to be on here. It's 150lbs lighter, the 9/10 staggers are perfect for track vs the 9.5/10.5 borderline overkill for taking corners. And the sport Z should be equipped with RE-11's. Since Nissan keeps hiking the prices on the Z for almost no reason. The least they coulda done was upgrade the stock tires. Z suspension is easily improved cheaply. Unfortunately though. That can't be done for the lightning lap. The Z potential is much higher than whats on paper here. The Nismo is overkill for this type of tracking. |
