I don't suspect foul play. With C7 ZR1, C&D was 2.25s slower than Jim Mero. In order for C8 ZR1 ...
the incorrect understanding :D

Ugly, slow and it has gold plated racing numbers. Should have gone for a base MSO recommissioned SLR.

Yep. You can never convince me that after Top Gear crew sees Dirk Müller or Raffaele de Simone shaking down ...

I'll say low 1:12s. But you never know which Stig you're gonna get.

Auction houses will pass any old shite as truth if it helps them sell the car.
I don't see any source for the claim. I know that Canepa has road converted couple of them, but I ...
Road Legal Version It's a race car. It was never homologated for road use.
Matt Farrah quotes 937 Nm combined in the latest Road & Track issue.
In the Laguna Seca onboard they didn't seem to rev it past that. Maybe the strategy would be different for ...
Still faster than their old claim of 27.1 What was the peak power and torque to the wheels?
