If this lap time is true, then I don’t genuinely believe a 997 Carrera S is doing a 7:56; more like an 8:06. But I’m also VERY impressed by the 7:56 lap time of the 996 Turbo. It relies on much older technology, so I believe it should be on the exact same level as the 997CS.

the 997 CS is faster then this on more tracks so I could believe the 997CS doing 7:56, especially if Walter Rohrl was driving that 997CS as well
